• Agreed, if it must be (actual) liberty or death, there’s only one option (though the entire world other than the west is constantly seeking peace, and whatever conflict happens is entirely and infinitely the west’s fault). Some things are worse than death, and the west has proven time and time again to offer exactly that, a slow death with no dignity, no humanity, no decency given.

    I hope if the world does head down this path- hell, even if it doesn’t- that a hell of some sort exists, and if not that future humans or other sentients will create it. “Eternal torment” is more mercy than the ghouls of empire deserve.
