The Trap: What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom (2007) by producer, Adam Curtis.
The series consists of three one-hour programs which explore the concept and definition of freedom, specifically, "how a simplistic model of human beings as self-seeking, almost robotic, creatures led to today's idea of freedom.
If one steps back and looks at what freedom actually means for us today, it's a strange and limited kind of freedom. The West apparently fought the Cold War for "individual freedom", yet it is still something our leaders continually promise to give us. Abroad, in Iraq and Afghanistan, the attempt to force "freedom" on to other people has led to bloody mayhem. This, in turn, has helped inspire terrorist attacks in Britain. In response, the government has dismantled long-standing laws that were designed to protect individual freedom...

Part 3 — We Will Force You To Be Free
The final program focuses on the concepts of positive and negative liberty introduced in the 1950s by Isaiah Berlin. Curtis briefly explains how negative liberty could be defined as freedom from coercion and positive liberty as the opportunity to strive to fulfill one's potential.

Many thanks to Adam Curtis and his team at the BBC!

  • If they truly wanted a free world they would be promoting constitutional republics like America NOT Democracy.Democracy is not freedom.

  • Both the liberal Dems And the Neo Conservative Republicans are evil forces.They both are liars.Some of them have good intentions but are misguided useful idiots at best.Don't ever trust the 2 sided coin that's presented to you.

  • This is why it's important to not get distracted or swayed off centre.The fight always has been and still is to this day between good and evil,between God and his nemesis.

  • The libertarian believes that the government that governs least, governs best. He believes in maximum personal liberty and minimum government coercion and intrusion in the everyday lives of citizens. The libertarian believes in small government, especially at the federal level, and not getting involved in foreign entanglements. He believes in personal autonomy, both social and economic.

  • There is only ONE RIGHT for (ALL) humans on earth and that is; the right to pursue your happiness and that particular right ends by realizing that you have no right to infringe on the freedom of others. So get on with your freedom as long as it doesn't try to control anothers life, and this goes for governments as well. We need to have the realization that each individual is unique with a different idea of what makes them happy. So, a message of the run-it's of the world "PLAY WITH YOUR OWN TOYS

  • @omegapoint777 Ya, spreading freedom? If only the goals were so noble.

  • Adam Curtis is a piece of shit propagandist. Idiots may be fooled, but I'm not.

  • @lostpebble

    Fuck off.

  • Individual liberty (Freedom) can be used as the ultimate divide and conquer tool on the mass by those who are already in a position of privileged and power.

  • BS gatekeeper stuff
