I hear what you're saying, but I also think that as long as we continue to pay taxes, we remain part of the problem, and perpetuate it. People can make the choice to resist, but it comes at a cost. Just like with the COVID injections, almost no one was physically forced to get the shot. Some people were coerced and had a hard choice to make, but they could have declined it and took whatever the consequences were (loss of job, income, etc.) So long as there is mass compliance and obedience, things will continue as they do and get worse.
