Right, exactly -- a free state should not do that, yet the system is working as intended, therefore we do not live in a free state. It's time to accept that.
- mulmen 8mo agoWhy would we accept that instead of changing it?
- BLKNSLVR 8mo agoMy interpretation of ModernMech's comment is that acceptance is a pre-requisite of changing it. ie. if you didn't accept it, then you wouldn't feel the need to change it.
- mulmen 8mo agoI agree that is the most favorable interpretation.
- ModernMech 8mo agoThat's how I meant it but now actually I don't agree with the usage of "accept", because acceptance implies consent. So I would change the word to "acknowledge".
