A "society" is an organized collection of "its members." We live in a "nation" where the majority of its "members," accurately observed, might as well be chained to the basement radiator when their "freedom" is on the table for discussion.
These "members" are governed by an "elite" who act as benevolent but suspicious overseers, who believe this state of affairs is more than satisfactory. For these very same elites not only hold minimal respect for these "societal members," it's ever increasingly difficult for them to mask their contempt for the whole lot of'em.
Indeed, the "members," along with their "freedom," are easily and casually dismissed, and the "members" are assumed by the "elites" to be little more than a rabble of ignorant, superstitious, inflammatory dolts. More often than not, these elites are correct in this assumption.
