Freiheit … ist oft nur ein #Bühnenbild, solange es sich lohnt, bleibt die #Illusion bestehen. Doch wenn der #Profit versiegt, fällt der Vorhang, und zurück bleibt nur die nackte Mauer der Kontrolle. #Freiheit stirbt durch opportunistisches Handeln. #Integrität vor #Loyalität. #WIRundich 🖖

The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.
Frank Zappa

„Die Illusion von Freiheit wird so lange aufrechterhalten, wie es profitabel ist, die Illusion aufrechtzuerhalten. In dem Moment, in dem die Illusion zu teuer wird, nehmen sie einfach das Bühnenbild ab, ziehen die Vorhänge zurück, räumen Tische und Stühle beiseite – und du wirst die Backsteinwand am Ende des Theaters sehen.“🖖Übersetzung des Zitats von Frank Zappa:
„Die Illusion von Freiheit wird so lange aufrecht-erhalten, wie es profitabel ist, die Illusion aufrechtzuerhalten. In dem Moment, in dem die Illusion zu teuer wird, nehmen sie einfach das Bühnenbild ab, ziehen die Vorhänge zurück, räumen Tische und Stühle beiseite - und du wirst die Backsteinwand am Ende des Theaters sehen."🖖

"Over 190 years of colonial rule, the British collapsed India's institutions and economy, and destroyed the equivalent of $45 Trillion. This is the shocking story of how the British; through the East India Company first, then the Crown, actually accomplished such a horrible feat.
Special thanks to Shashi Tharoor for his book, "Inglorious Empire," which inspired this video."—Odd Compass

"Insurance" is an entire tranche of economic relations entirely created so that middle men can profit from misfortune.

Better societies would simply engage in social cooperations so that misfortune was covered by the community.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

We are face to face with new conceptions of the relations of property to human welfare, chiefly because certain advocates of the rights of property as against the rights of men have been pushing their claims too far. The man who wrongly holds that every human right is secondary to his profit must now give way to the advocate of human welfare, who rightly maintains that every man holds his property subject to the general right of the community to regulate its use to whatever degree the public welfare may require it.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-08-31), “The New Nationalism,” Osawatomie, Kansas
