Yes If elite pays me money i can talk their story and promote crisis everywhere but If i don't get nothing from it i don't support.
You will talk stories and spread hate... that "hate spreading" is what keeps wars alive around the globe, it's what keeps hot spots pretty hot. So they (politicians mostly & all others) create problems and talk about how they are the only ones who can solve them.
People getting freedom? Are you serious? Life is tough for many people. You can't get freedom when you pay half of your salary in taxes and 1/2 of the rest in rent and bills.
Well, life is tough for many, but at least people have more choices than before. Slavery was about dehumanization and forced hard work. We can't compare slavery with modern work, at least we can choose on what & where we wish to spend our salary. So I guess we can say we have more freedom in the 21st century, but it could be much much better for all the people in the world... if only there was less evil and more goodness.
