OK, it might be a little heavy this one. But, I wander, what part caused prompt blocking of the message: that I hate some government, or some historical facts?
This sentence is a (very likely) not literal quote of Ronald Reagan.
"There is no word for liberty in the Russian language" is the quote, I think.
Prompted by the fact that there is indeed no lexical distinction between 'freedom' and 'liberty', both are commonly translated by the same word. So it's based on a true fact, but in a hilariously twisted way, 's all.
(I think it's important that he said liberty, not freedom. Note that freedom is a native Germanic word while liberty is a French loanword. English likes to enrich itself like that and has done an amazing job of it.)
