Freedom from what?
If you ignore/disregard that you are slave of outside forces, how can I explain you further? To anything I would say, I would add "freedom from deluded dull normals". At any rate you don't want answers but attention, another symptom of your sick state of being.
If you think I have to convince you about something, you are mistaken.
You should get that checked before it's too late.
Here's the thing, all of your ad hominem arguments aside: many folk on the path to enlightenment say their goal is freedom. They often like to cite the "Plato's Cave" analogy as a means of implying there are those who have exited the cave into the bright sunshine of reality, as opposed to being enthralled with the dim reflections on the wall of the cave.
I merely asked what you wanted freedom from, which implies, an acquisition of freedom TO. My thought is all the notions of being trapped, of being fooled by Consensus Reality, of being a dupe, are delusions. We are already free, to do whatever we want to do. If you believe others, be they within this realm or without, actually care to hold you back, that is your problem to deal with.
