There's no limit to the amount of power people can generate to overcome those who seek to oppress them. I don't think those power holders can hold power forever.
If freedom is based in power, that means you always have to be exerting it against a world that wants to consume you. And that's just the world of nature in general, let alone other people.
And what’s interesting is that the gap in power shrinks with new technologies. So the battle shifts away from brute force to mental warfare (i.e. propaganda, brainwashing)
The chains on this dog is not the leash. The power holder here has chains on the dog’s DNA.

Good perspective 😂
Breeding and domestication are a hell of a chain ⛓️
If we think about our own DNA, I am not so sure we have as much “free will” as we like to think.
I think we can be bounded by our nature and still have the ability to choose what we do within those bounds. But it's the truly strong who can break out of their comfort zone and really act freely.
Amor Fati. Love your fate. But do not go gentle into that good night.
I’m on the no free will side of the debate
I think this is the whole concept of the ying yang ☯️
