Most people are trained slaves with no desire for true liberty. Freedom is not easy to obtain and is even harder to maintain that's why they shy away from it and would rather crawl into a voting booth every four years to vote for a politician that they know will not deliver on at least half what he is promising, while secretly hoping that he will make their lives better nonetheless. The uncomfortable reality is that there is no freedom without responsibility, in the same way that slavery requires dependency. We have lost our privacy in the modern age because we made ourselves dependents of the tech demons and their companies. The PATRIOT Act and FISA courts are both unconstitutional and immoral but they continue to exist because the chains of slavery have lulled us into a false sense of security and comfort. There is no security or freedom for that matter without privacy.
