Freedom.....Well, some parts of the world are freer than others. I mean, in the USA or EU, you may have problems finding job and adjusting and whatnot, but for most of the parts, you will not get killed for being different. Not greeting your Party Member neighbor will not wreck your life.
Been born to communist totalitarian country and heard too many stories. Ffs, LPs with rock music were smuggled as if they were drugs..........
so somewhere we are better off. We can chose not to be part of the system (of course they will call you various names. A radical, a liberal, fanatical, criminal........ (or ODD, since we cain't have anarchists no more).
To be honest I guess I prefer self-destruction, hoping I will leave cracks in the concrete walls in the process. And plant seed or two. I seriously contemplaining of being a free women professionally, live in few countries and never settle... or at least not anytime soon (but who knows. I wish I had more courage as well. I totally get what you mean about social control. Family. They'd worry if I went wandering off to far off lands with bad internet connection. One needs money and times of Kerouac are past. And I am not manually skilled and being travelling stripper is exactly not what I want to be).
I don't know. Maybe we all should rebel, little by little, starting today. Do something for yourself. Stand for yourself a bit. Enjoy the moment. Tell random stranger they are really pretty. Anything.
The world is what we create.... and revolutions don't have to happen on a large-scale state level.
