4 days agoEverytime somebody posts something complacent like this telling us not to worry I remember a piece of speech by Arnim Zola in the Winter Soldier movie.
"Hydra was founded with on belief that humanity could not be trusted with it’s own freedom.
What we did not realize is that if you try to take that freedom, they resist.
The war taught us much, humanity needed to surrender it’s freedom willingly.
[…]
For 70 years, Hydra have been secretly feeding crisis, reaping war. And when history did not cooperate, history was changed.
Hydra created a world so chaotic that humanity is finally ready to sacrifice it’s freedom, to gain it’s security"
That part of the speech is perfectly standalone and applies to many regimes outside the US
