Do you think the loss of our freedoms is ratchet-like, only ever going in one direction, or is it possible we can win back, under some future government, the freedoms we see gradually slipping away?

It is like a cancer on society the tyranny of political control. How much are you willing to sacrifice for freedom and liberty? Freedom isn’t free. We have the same stuff going on in the US. 🙏❤️
In my lifetime the amount of freedom I was happy with was indeed free. Why is it suddenly necessary for people to sacrifice something for it? When you say 'Freedom isn't free', do you mean always and everywhere or just now in this place?
A favorite quote from President Ronald Reagan who was a friend of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” WW1 and WW2 were times when blood was spilled for the sake of freedom. If we fail to fight as individuals on a daily basis for the principles they were willing to die for, their sacrifices will be for naught. The Berlin Wall was not built to keep Europeans from immigrating into Eastern Germany. It was built to keep Germans from leaving. History repeats itself. Much like the ratchet you spoke of.

Whilst you thought freedom was free, it was being stolen.
The words to an old song come to mind "freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose,,"
The first step is to ask what are we doing about it.
And the other saying: "there's nothing more dangerous than someone who has nothing to lose"
I'd prefer us not to reach that Zelensky position.
True. He's personally had a pretty good time of it all at the expense of Ukraine and the west who kept throwing money at him.
