The ironic thing is by not having true freedom to get decent education and decent job they won't be able to afford travel and buy what they want.
That's what an Easterner would say. (And this can be understood as a compliment.)
Say, what I'm trying to make clear is when writing such texts: One chain-link insets to another. It's not like a lot of activists try to paint the world "oh, somebody announces he wants to violate our rights, oh, we're losing our freedoms!" You know, the most important freedoms are already lost and if you don't fight to get them back, they'll always remain taken away from you. I don't know if they really believe in this or are that naive that somebody's gonnatell them if he's planning to disrespect their human and civil rights. If I want to disregard somebody's rights, I'm not gonna go verbal, I'm gonna go kick them with power in sensitive body parts and put the stomping boot on their face, telling them they're worth nothing. And that's how it's going to be still in a hundred years. Why do people think their rights get taken away only so abstractly? And anything that equals that in a passive-aggressive way is the same 'cause it has the same goal, it only took a civilized-looking way. Beneath its surface it's still the barbaric uncivilized way to put a boot in someone's face and get away with murder. And those kinds of violating your rights, you only recognize them through psychological education while you're in the situation. The only warning you can have from it is experience, if you've gone through it a few times already yourself.
...You know, just because a lot of young people ride that train, it appears to me like you can truly be pessimistic about the future. Because they think so naively, because they have so much of a lack of education, also in the department of "life experiences". If you got life experiences, you just become able to tell wolves from sheep. And life experience is: Things do not always work perfectly your way. You gonna be disappointed once in a while.
