Notice how the word "freedom" works in American political language. Freedom to bomb another country: called defense. Freedom to sanction a population into poverty: called pressure. Freedom to support a coup against an elected government: called stability. But freedom for another country to choose its own economic system? Threat. Freedom for another people to elect a government Washington doesn't approve of? Crisis. Freedom for the Global South to trade outside the dollar system? Aggression. The word means: our freedom to do what we want, everywhere, to everyone. It does not mean what the dictionary says. It never did. And the citizens who repeat it most fervently are usually the ones who have thought least carefully about what they're actually saying. They're not lying. They genuinely don't know. The empire translated the word for them before they were old enough to question the translation.
