About this listen
Ahoy, crew! Big news—today we get to VOTE! Pick who's in charge! Great, right? WRONG! Look at the choices: Captain Red or Captain Blue. That's IT. BOTH from the same rich family. BOTH do the exact same stuff. You just pick which HAT COLOR you like! That's not a choice! That's like "Do you want pinched on your LEFT arm or RIGHT arm?" Either way—you're getting PINCHED! They call it voting so you FEEL in charge. But you're just picking which captain takes your treasure! Liberty Lesson: Voting SOUNDS awesome. "Pirates get a voice!" But if ALL the choices are bad? Not a real choice—it's a TRAP! Pick the color of the cage—still a CAGE! Jab: Before the vote—BIG promises! "Free candy! Shorter chores!" Then they win and... nothing changes. Same rules. Same treasure taken. Same bossy captains! Sneaky part—if you DON'T vote they say "Then you can't complain!" But I didn't set up this trap! Why can't I complain about a trap I never asked for? It's like "Pick which bully takes your lunch—Bully Bob or Bully Bill?" You pick Bob, he takes your lunch. "YOU voted for him!" Not fair! I didn't want EITHER bully! Quest: Ask your family—what if NONE of the choices are good? Do we HAVE to pick? Does voting mean you're free? Or just picking who bosses you? Real freedom isn't picking your boss. Real freedom is NO boss! YOUR life is YOUR ship! Nobody steers it but YOU! #LibertyPirates #RealFreedom #ThinkForYourself
