Saying this, I am curious as to whether or not there's a semantic connection between this postcard and the subject of repression
I think the idea behind the "freedom springs" card was that it serves as a metaphor for lifestyle free of restrictions, and its something that you, the viewer can attain.
"Freedom Springs - wish you were here!". The message would indicate a happy efficient life that you can achieve when you use only tech that is free of anti-features.
Because the message is subtle and not obvious from the card itself it would encourage the viewer to pick it up and look at it to discover its real message, and on the back would be details of technical restrictions and alternatives.
Not sure about this. Many postcards that look attractive end on the fridge or the wall of any flat-share to look good and from that point on hardly no one ever looks on the backside of the postcard.
Then people will at worse see the postcard as iPod commercial including the term "freedom" ...
