You are still subject to the whims of the oligarchs via their control of governments.
Tried ignoring your local mask ban lately and opening your business without restrictions?
How is that working?
I know...small steps. But those steps will be squashed real quick unless there is some real push back. We can talk about quietly withdrawing but they will not let that happen.
There will be a reckoning, I fear. Maybe more will be persuaded by the gradual steps and join giving more strength but so far its not working that way at all.
Just musing for discussion here....I know we have to start somewhere...
Our only hope is to "go Galt", as I also did during the Obama years. Or follow the guidance found in scripture. Isaiah 26:20 says, "Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed. " That's pretty darn close to "going Galt."
I don't know how many will survive such an end-time transition. The bible mentions a man will be as hard to find as fine gold (Isaiah 13:12). And I don't think America will survive. I'm afraid these are the End Times before the second coming of Christ. I believe America may be "Mystery Babylon" in both Old and New Testaments. You can read about what happens in Revelations 16, 17, 18, also in the OT.
The end-time occurring during our lifetimes is something hard to think about, much less accept. I haven't entirely accepted it, but I'm not going to be surprised if this is it. There are many indicators it is, and we may know soon now. Look at the unbelievable events that have occurred in just 2020 (plague, stolen election, lockdowns, BLM/Antifa, big tech limiting speech, persecution of capitol protestors, Xiden/Harris, illegals massing at the border, Texas power outage, etc.)
I bring it up because it needs to be a consideration, IMO.
