Have you read the small print? "Terms and conditions apply. Freedom and Liberty do not, respectively, constitute actual Freedom or Liberty. Definitions of "Free", "Freedom", "Liberal" and "Liberty" may vary. Service provider retains right to fundamentally and unfairly change these terms of service to ruling class' full advantage at any time without forewarning, consultation, or informing service user. Use of service conditional upon full bilking of service user's surplus product by service provider. Use of service conditional upon full, non-negotiable alienation of service users' very soul and being. Full service may not be available at all time. Full service only theoretically available for capital-owning white middle- and upper-class males over the age of 30 (hereinafter referred to as 'The Patriarchy'). Service does not apply, under any circumstances, to sphere of economic production, where fascist oppression and unjust authoritarianism has free reign, unless service user falls under 'The Patriarchy' category, can provide evidence of well-placed connections, and can afford extra service fees. Service provider retains right to arbitrarily refuse service to any service user, especially but not limited to service-users that are working-class, unemployed, female, coloured, queer, mentally ill, disabled, under-thirty, third-world, politically-dissident, unionised, or crushed under insolvable debt (herinafter collectively referred to as 'Second Class Citizens', 'precariat' or 'proles'), regardless of breach or non-breach of terms and conditions by service user. Service user retains all legal or physical liabilities that may be incurred from use of this product, including but not limited to theft and sale of personal information for private gain to third parties; unwinnable civil liability cases filed by corporations backed by armies of demonic, overpaid lawyers bent on crushing recalcitrant, non-compliant service users; all-pervasive state surveillance; arbitrary and unwarranted wire tapping; police intimidation; tear and/or pepper gasing and/or full frontal assault and battery by militarised riot police; prosecution; incarceration and/or lobotomy by psychotropic medication and/or torture and/or rape and/or loss of limb and/or death by licensed and/or unlicensed agents of state violence. Use of service may entail aiding and abetting in reinforcement of structural violence, class war on the working class and poor, and soul-crushing imperialism. Batteries not included except where "battery" refers to military or police artillery equipment." [London Wobblies]
