"Freedom" as Control

Alexander talked big about freedom while he was conquering Persia: and onward to the east. Modern kleptocracies likewise talk about freedom, promise it: promise it big time. Further, modern kleptocracies compel attendance at school where all are told (by state robots called "teachers") that freedom is not only imminent, but here: the kleptocracy has delivered freedom to all those who gamble that nonresistance will keep them out of jail.

(Note the time delay: not unlike John's, Jesus', promise that the kingdom of God was at hand.)

Funny: all I see the kleptocracy delivering is control.

Oh, not real control. I don't believe that anything non-cybernetic, not even God, has that. No, no: attempts at control.

Top-down, hierarchically imposed, centralized controls: centralized for management: of us the "free" "people."
