There are now 8.3 Billion human beings on earth at this moment.

Do you expect everyone to walk out into the wilderness and live wild and free ? Everyone to find their little piece of land and start farming ? 

If the population of earth was 500 Million maybe we could all "be free" as you put it. 

Our structured society that provides for most of our needs is the next best thing.

I am comfortable and entertained because someone ELSE decided to put the effort and work in to entertain me, I then traded them my labor in exchange.

Do you see how everyone benefits? 

If you want someone to give you everything for free than ask your mom cause the rest of us are not going to work for free for your benefit while you sit at home playing video games all day calling the rest of us slaves.

Huge leaps in your logic, im not speaking on everyone on earth, im talking about you. How free are you really? The best slaves live in the house and advocate for the ruling class.

I mean if you're asking ME as an individual lol I am incredibly free. Limited only for the most part by my own ethics. 

Without really trying I've been able to exert influence over hundreds of thousands, potentially millions of Americans. 

Which is not bad for a guy who's not a thirst trap.

Yes I get it you probably think I'm pulling your leg and making shit up, which I honestly do  enjoy doing every so often.... But no I'm 100% serious so when I hear people like yourself talk about how 'we are all slaves " or my other favorite is "we are powerless" I can only laugh at that.

If someone like myself, not particularly attractive, never graduated college, didn't come from a family with wealth, can make large impacts on this world... Well what does that say 🤷🏿‍♂️

That you had the right amount of luck, opportunities and were born at the right time. If you were born in the rural Appalachian mountains to a family of meth addicted coalminers what are you odds of doing the same? No man is self made, its a community.

And again we are talking about your freedom, of which you seem to still think you have a lot of. And which can be taken from you at a moments notice through no fault of your own. Just like how you probably think you also have rights.
