As the end of an era Freedom is over. It is a fantasy we play along like we are free, and yet we have these petty bureaucrats that constantly troll our lives and regulate us into submission.
We allowed our politicians (Democrat and Republican) to destroy the freedoms we once had as a nation and a people.
I 1774 in Boston I bet that Sam Adams didn’t need to have a license to sell beer, or bottle, or ship, or store. Now try that, try to sell a cookie at a bake sale. Try to sell anything that isn’t regulated to death.
We lost this fight.
People have no idea what is true Liberty. These petty bureaucrats have exponentially grown in the past few decades. Everyone likely has stories of these parasites causing misery to the citizens of our Republic.
I deeply believe that the mindset of those drawn to such jobs is the exact same as those that gave rise to all totalitarian dictatorships. These are truly sadistic humans who relish punishing and humiliating other humans.
What is truly evil is they hide behind the law. A petty thief has more honor than any government parasite -- paraphrasing Lysander Spooner :)
