The fight never ends, anon. Powerful forces are always arrayed against freedom. Always. USA is a historical anomaly where the people governed the government.
The press? It is not your friend. The government? It would enslave you and tell you that you are free. WAKE UP. When the people wake up, then they will have freedom. Not before. The people are lied to by every rotten institution, and it's been "normal" for so long that most take it for honesty.
