upvoted you cos you're awesome.
Perhaps you believe you live in a free society, I don't. I understand the ramifications of the Fourteenth Amendment, and how the bill of rights was filtered through the 14th to see what still applied to "subjects of congress" (hint: only the 2nd amendment comes out unscathed due to DC v Heller). I've read (and used) the Canadian Ownership and Control Determination Act [1], and understand how it allows someone to actually own people (actual slavery). I've filed UCC-1 Liens against people and had sheriffs seize debtor's property or put people in jail for not paying (debt slavery). These are not signs of a free society. these are signs of fascism and tyranny.
I hope you'll forgive my worldview for being different than yours, but perhaps we can find some common ground: We both want to live in a free society.
We both want a populace to show courage.
we think it's quite sad that people died in previous wars to give us the right to protest.
We both think the government has already won (the people are the government), and there's nothing we can do about that.
We both think is necessary that people should continue to fight to keep things that way, with courage.
I bet we agree on many more things, actually.
