An old tactic, favoured by Roman Emperors and Dictators throughout history.

Easy come, easy go. As they say.
What comes cheap is squandered.
So easily squandered, too!
There is no price on Freedom. It is priceless.
Once thrown away, who will know what they are missing?
As you rightly say: Freedom is priceless. People who don't grow up with it don't understand it. They live in ignorance.
The Age of Unreason, the Age of the darkest night of the spiritual desert is all that we can expect, if we fail to turn and face the serpent.

Soon the rise of evil power will be certain and no less certain will be the need to resist. Should the danger be unheeded, we must say farewell to our Heritage, our essence of being just who we are, and knowing where we come from, and to whom we owe allegiance, our fellows, our Freedom.
You are so right.
At the point of no-return, even the Liberal blind-mice may baulk at their likely fate.
They most surely will; but it will be too late. Their freedom and liberal ways will be relegated to the dustbin of history, which, of course, will quickly be re-written to abolish all trace of its previous existence!
