- mindslight 1y agoThe problem is that the mainstream American conception of liberty has come to mean liberty for corpos, inverting the thrust of the individualist/revolutionary spirit to effectively undermine individual liberty. And we're actually well into using those boxes - effectively at the jury box stage but with the president doing the legal nullification rather than juries. And the useful idiots are still clamoring to move on to the ammo box. The worse it gets, the harder they demand their self-defeating quack cures.
