Liberty

Last night, I did the unthinkable. No, I didn't succumb to homelessness. Worse, I tied my cheap "smartphone" to my one-and-only Google® account. Since I have ascertained that I am not being tracked for "terrorism," there is nothing to fear. Well, that's not exactly true. I am being tracked for alleged perverted "dirty old man" activities, whatever that might be. Location services are disabled on the "smartphone," so only an approximation of my whereabouts is possible. At least I was able to update the two surveillance "apps" that haven't been intentionally disabled. Oh, the foolishness!

In actuality, my whereabouts can always be tracked with pinpoint accuracy as long as the "smartphone" is connected to a "cell" transmitter. Not to mention, the surveillance apparatus of empire is intercepting all domestic voice, text, and e-mail communications. The only freedom from any kind of surveillance tracking is to power down (or enable "airplane mode") all devices. And, that's exactly what I do.

Speaking of freedom, I have come to the final conclusion that, for contemporary humans, there is no freedom. Death is the only freedom available. The gentrification and lobotomization of humans has resulted in the ultimate prison state. Overpopulation has increased the need to employ Draconian measures of control. We are on an accelerating collision course with self-destruction. Eventually, the controlled and self-policed social order must disintegrate. Why the event hasn't occurred sooner, I don't know. The horrid implication is that, when disintegration does occur, it will be swift and devastating. Human extinction is possible. For the time being, stupidity and ignorance maintains the illusion of faux freedom.

"Give me liberty, or give me death." Those words really ring true even more so today. If the latter quote is interpreted properly, then there exists an equivalence between liberty and death. As with all animals, the human desire for freedom is overwhelming. Unfortunately, in the quest to subdue the "inner animal," chimpo sapiens have resorted to extreme forms of repression, brainwashing, compartmentalization, incarceration, and indentured servitude. Death is liberty.

Another unaccomplished day has passed. The usual itinerary was followed, but I spent most of the time locked in contemplation of my plight as a slave of empire. Money and the "ownership society" are my two greatest adversaries. What can I do to escape the evil web of both nefarious influences? Where can I go? Who will be my savior?
