You don’t think you’re controlled? And living a meaningful life is a personal measurement. You and I don’t get to decide what someone feels is meaningful. That’s what liberty is. A difficult concept for a collectivist, socialist/communist.

But Even pure democracy, is little more than mob rule. Very difficult to have liberty when 51% can tell 49% how to live their lives.
