First they came for “just these” firearms, and you did not have one those, so OK!

And now they come for your 3D printer - “Wait I wasn’t going to do that!”

But when you start down the road of “Pre-Crime”, all men will need to be castrated because we might commit a crime.

WTF?

Nike selling you shoes is not tyranny.

The government extra-judicially assassinating you is tyranny.

Read George Orwell's "1984". Big Brother is starting to move in more and more.

I like what President Reagan said: "The WORST thing that you can hear is someone say that they're from the government, and they're here to help". Truer words were never spoken.

You've likely seen the new age verification requirements for all electronic operating systems, Linux included. So, to comply they just need to check your age and then tell websites that you are an adult or a kid.

Next, they will say, oh.. that's too easy to bypass, we need to have your realID to verify it's you, but don't worry, we wont store that.

Then, oh.. AI can make very realistic images so we need your DNA and need to always check what's happening on your computer against your real ID.

Truth, and Mises.org has a free library witj many informative papers on how communities governed themselves during those times. As well as many other times and places. Well worth a browse!
