So freedom = work.
Is it possible for everybody to get a job they enjoy? Is it possible for everybody to get a job?
We do live in one of the freest societies in the world but stupidly it's been fixed so we are not free at all.
Ultimately we end up paying for all the shit that goes down.... wars, banking shambles etc. How can somebody else telling you what you've got to pay for in those terms equate freedom and not slavery?
Your cognitive dissonance is terrible. We live in "one of the freest societies" "we are not free at all"
I am pissed off at the crap I have had to pay for, wars, banking shambles etc. as well. But that has not enslaved me. It may have enslaved you, but that is your problem.
My cognitive dissonance is terrible....... while you come out with nazi crap.
Arbeit macht frei. 
Bow down to your master.
It's actually nowhere near cognitive dissonance anyway. We do live in one of the freest parts of the world
by comparison.
That still doesn't mean we are free, or that the system doesn't limit our freedoms considerably more than necessary to facilitate itself.
It's irrelevant whether you consider yourself a slave or not. It makes the system function a lot easier if people are happy about it.
You HAVE been enslaved by having to pay for stuff like wars & the banks gambling money away. Unless of course you work for free.
Your labour is being turned into something presumably which you do not want.
Cognitive dissonance..... defend defend defend clutch grasp.
