Honestly ask yourself if you're willing to pay the price for freedom, or if you're merely complaining about the consequence of being taken care of (tyranny) and merely want to have it both ways, like a fat person wishing they weren't fat and complaining about the trials and tribulations of being obese, all while shoving cake and ice cream down their face.

If you are soft, you cannot be free. There is no shame in this. Go be taken care of and be grateful. Enjoy the time before the food runs out.

Do you remember when people were given "bread and circuses", instead of "you will own nothing and you will be happy"?

When did things go so wrong, that the old standard in no longer possible?

@LukeAlmighty In a corrupt oligarchy, rulers use bread and circuses to keep the lower class was revolting.

In a corrupt democracy, the government needs to provide welfare to everyone from a shrinking supply of taxpayers, and to prevent famine, must control what the people can consume and own.

The mass starvation of communism wasn't a mistake, it was the inevitable consequence of wanting the government to take care of you.
