If our freedom is an illusion it is one of the best illusions going. I'm not sure which other illusion you would prefer that is in existence on this planet at this time (or any other illusion of freedom that has existed in previous recorded history.) And our slavery? In the context of the the planet, it can only be called slavery if you ignore the actual debasement the other people on the planet experience who make our "slavish" existence possible. We are some of the freest people on the planet with much more of the wealth of the planet than any other nation. We are hated mainly because of our power, and because like most power, we wield it selfishly. We may do the right thing, even, but I think the world often suspects we do it for the wrong reasons. And since perception (like illusion) is often the reality- the world is as right as we are. That is what wars and conflict are all about. People of diametrically opposing views who are both sure they are right- and imo they both can be right. Rightness is a state of mind, if you think you are, you are.
