@monarchist @freepatriot increased tax revenue. By becoming more libertarian, the state grows smaller, people happier, and "the state exists for me" again is established.
But this trend I do not think I have observed "organically" happening. It always needs a crisis to appear, which seems to be the only thing that wakes up the people.

@monarchist @freepatriot This is the truth! It is converted from "society exists for me", once the parasitic class emerges, into "you exist for society". And once we arrived at the second statement, meaning disappears, fertility starts to decline, surveillance and tax police harass people etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if western democracies will unavoidably (unless a revolution takes place) become more and more authoritarian. That's the only way they can continue to grow in terms of

@monarchist @freepatriot Amen! If there ever is a connection between lowered tax rates, treating people as people and not cog wheels and increased fertility I'll happily name it! ;)

You need to do more than protest by mobile phone.
One problem with protesting by phone is that you are being wiretapped.
Americans need to get out into the streets, pass out flyers, drop out, stop paying taxes, and start paying visits to the offices of politicians.
"How to Live Off the Grid Like a Mountain Man" by George Larrick is an exceptional nonfiction book. It’s a hard-to-put-down, quick read that offers invaluable insights. Truly the best book on self-sufficient living, inspiring adventurers and anyone eager to embrace the mountain lifestyle.

It's a classic case of means over ends
Society is the means to our survival, in part, but then it becomes dominated and an end in itself.
From that comes the bureaucracy.

What we think of as "the state" arises from the bureaucracy itself, as does democracy (per WSB).

Americans are so enslaved now that Americans don't care if the CIA tortures, but Americans lose their minds if the media reports the story.

Americans are dealing with the US collapse by being in denial.
Americans say TSA groping doesn't happen.
Americans think there are no consequences when countries go bankrupt.

You would need a first amendment to apply to make this argument. The left tried to trash that so they cannot now use it when it suits them.
