This could be any anonymous screed written by an eighteen year old in any era, and today it reads as if it were written by AI.
It's a collection political confetti.
Civilizations are cyclical. The pretend-status of the commoners is cyclical. Sometimes they are too-free, and sometimes they are overtly enslaved. Generally speaking, and while nothing is black and white, these are the two extremes.
The idea is to find the Springtimes in this eternal cycle and to hold the cycle there for as long as possible, lest one of the extremes yet again comes back around sooner than later.
Holding Springtime requires compromise, grit, a respect for the social compact, clear eyes in regard to society's class hierarchies, individual morality, and moral reason in regard to government and social norms.
As those who benefit from the extremes will use any one of those compromised avenues. They have unlimited funds to both open the road and to travel.
The trick is that those who are most oppressed during any single extreme are the ones manipulated into advancing it.
If you think that this era is moving toward a Springtime and not away from it, then you're missing the clear and eternal signals and are going to be in for a shock.
