Very surprised at these results on X.

Maybe my perspective on history is different.

My perception is that statism started the day the 13 colonies (actually 12) signed the constitution. Rhode Island resisted central control.

Statism started with the Articles of Confederation but was given more teeth with the Consitution. The latter acknowledging that the people had rights which then be perpetually trampled on as the behemoth grew. We tolerate government because its less effort than performing the governance ourselves

I’m in my early 50’s and history has never been more interesting to me. Especially now with all the different sources of information.
