The dream is all we have left. The dream of democracy and freedom. Oh dear, just to feel the wind on my face on a sunny day, with a view showing me a wide area over the horizon... this is what freedom has been for me, since forever, nothing else. Perhaps this is what freedom is meant to be, or maybe this is what freedom is now reduced to.

Welcome to my world! The world of the rest of humanity, to which you have been blind for most of your life. Well, I feel somehow pleased that you will get a taste of what we have been going through for most of our lives. It ain't easy out there, you have to fight to survive, you have to become an idealist, and constantly fight for your rights to even exist, and be prepared to die at any time for what you stand for. Cowards survive, the others don't.

America has not known any of that in recent times, but it has all changed now. You are no better than we are;  you are exactly like us. You will learn to fight for your rights, for your existence, for what you believe in, just like we always did. You will become aware of all the tricks used by untrustworthy leaders, you will read between the lines in the media and instantly see through all the lies, and live though it, just like we did. So painful it is.

Just like us, you have no more rights. Just like us, you have no more democracy. Just like us, you have no more privacy. Just like us, you go to war and commit genocide against your will. Just like us, you have no more freedom. Have you ever wondered if this life was worth living? We always did wonder about that and we never found an answer.

Yes indeed, welcome to my world, welcome to what the world truly is and has always been, a world governed by psychopaths, tyrants and dictators, a world where there is no hope for humanity.

It was so nice for a while to cling to some sort of dream that somehow there was a land of liberty out there somewhere called America...
