Well I can name about 10 countries whose citizens have more pressing concerns than freedom:

Nigeria
Ethiopia
Rwanda
Zimbabwe
China
Singapore
Burma
Iran
Sierra Leone
North Korea

The poorer countries on the list (ie. Sierra Leone) are more concerned with staying alive and getting enough food. Let's face it, when you're starving to death, the right to vote isn't exactly high on your list of priorities.

The less-poorer countries (ie. Singapore, China) tend to view stability as more important than freedom.

Out of curiosity, what culture are you from?

Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you.
