It's not a psyop that people in democracies want freedom. Democrats (not the US party) know that democracy is fragile. That's why it's called an "experiment". They know they have to be vigilant. In ancient Rome it was legal to kill on the spot any man who attempted to make himself king, and the Roman Republic still fell.

Many people are rightfully scared of the widespread use of a model which works very well but on the side tries to instill strict obedience to the party.

Still, give me democracy over anything at any time. Nothing better has ever been developed than democracy.
