Anybody else despise the stupid “freedom” argument AmeriKKKans use against us?
Freedom of what? Freedom from public healthcare? Freedom to harass minorities? Freedom to exploit the working class?

Nonono, not freedom to be oppressed. It's the freedom TO oppress! The freedom of oppression. That's how they see things. They don't like being oppressed as well, but they don't care about that so long as they're not the ones drawing the short end of the stick. Even if they knew of better ways to live, they still prefer the stick to be there, in a rigged way, so they can not only practice their freedom to oppress others, but prevent you from taking this freedom away from them.
However, bootlickers are different, because they have no power. So they are also oppressed. But the bootlicker, he wants to be oppressed because if nobody were there to be oppressed, in the rare occasion he finds himself with power, he will have nobody to freely oppress with it! So he will try to convince others that suffering is good actually. He needs others to suffer with him, otherwise he would be a fool, suffering alone and with no hope of ever becoming the oppressor.
I don't know that all of them think this way, but this would be the only way for it to make sense. Of course, they won't give the game away. They will try to rope you in with them.
Freedom, to oppress.
