I totally agree with you, we Americans are all slaves! But then... doesn't that make us free? Huzzah, Americans are free at last! But wait, that means we're all slaves....
Ok, ok. The real point imo is that there is no such thing as freedom in terms of government, it's just an empty word thrown around to stimulate nationalistic emotions or whatever else. True governmental freedom would be anarchy. Then again I don't think brainwash or mind control is real either; every bit of communication that reaches you is an attempt at mind control, some are just more damaging than others. Suffice it to say, if an argument is convincing and changes ones mind, well then it seems some form of mind control has taken place.
