Government is in reality established by the few; and these few assume the consent of all the rest, without any such consent being actually given.

We can say that over and over again but the military will keep us in check. And yeah we can pretend the military is on our side but if dc has showed anybody anything. The government controls them not us. We need to stop pretending that they are just 500 defenseless people who are completely at our mercy. They are not. We are at their mercy. 7 trillion dollars of our money in a year just on stimulus bills. They are robbing us our children and grandchildren and we just bitch on the internet. I want a solution but don't know the solution. And war will only weaken us and leave a lot of us dead. Decentralization is our best bet but like i said the US government will not allow it to happen peacefully.

We have consented, or it wouldn’t be this way.

Of course consent is given. The constitution and the laws give clear path how to oppose the government . If you don't oppose it YOU CONSENT.

That's bullshit.

Consent is individual, not a collective act.

EVERYTHING IS AN individual ACT. EVERY FUCKING THING. When the "government" sends a dog to shoot you in the head ... A FUCKING INDIVIDUAL OBEDIENT DOG comes AND INDIVIDUALLY DOES IT.
