"We are a republic not a democracy" might the the dumbest and more pointless of arguments in history.

Over 100 nations are "republics" including the Congo and the DPRK (North Korea).

But we are different from them!

How?

We elect our representatives and um, ah, well see... Ben Franklin said...

News alert a representative democracy is a DEMOCRACY, with some mitigation on being a direct democracy.

Every person at ever level of government Federal, State, County, Local with any power is either ELECTED DEMOCRATICALLY or appointed by a person who was ELECTED DEMOCRATICALLY.

Oh and in reality what we are is an Oligarchy but and Oligarchy is a kind of republic so you do have that going for you, which is nice.

The real argument is America is a country founded on unalienable rights, and individual free agency, not democracy.

Unalienable rights are rights that cannot be taken from you, not even by a 100% majority rule vote. They cannot be diluted or have conditions added to them by any institution or government, and they cannot be ruled away by a supreme court.

The US Constitution does not grant unalienable. It explicitly tells the government that it shall not infringe on those rights. Unalienable rights can never be taken away, they can only be infringed on.

Yeah how’s that working out?

I come from a long line of non-compliers going back generations. We have our techniques. We don't talk about it online or using spyware devices.

Hint ... think like an illegal alien. Build your tribe. Become closer to God. "The Greater Reset" people are also on the right track, but they seem to lack God.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

The purpose of the American system was to prevent government, groups of people, and individuals from infringing on the individual free agency of others.

That all change back around 1913-ish, when America was fundamentally changed by introducing forced taxation (16th Amendment) and the Fed.

Heh, the place you are talking about hasn't existed since before the civil war...

You have Empire & none of that stopped them.

Time to claim it back. 💪👊

Do not comply. Exit and build.

Good luck with that.

Abstracts have no force, you defend them with adequate force or you lose them.

The rest of that quote is......

There is no point in arguing as to what it is supposed to do.

So they've already won, eh, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Jack Spirko 1y ago

You exit and ignore the system you don't defend and make excuses for or YES THEY ALREADY WON.
