Apparently "The land of the free" is less free now than Europe.

That is so wrong. It is still one of the super free countries. What people seem to never really have understood: free for corpos, not for you pathetic plebs. You are cattle, not free.

Maybe now, but afaik 'the free' definitely referred to the people.

Sure, but that was long ago. The freedom is still there it just massively shifted its destination
