"Government can't tell us what to do" is another way of saying "We are above the government."

Sadly, it's true.

And ironically, the government created the Fed. It created the unconstitutional and immoral institution that hovers above us all.

Congress can revoke their charter, but the Congress is Retarded

Some things are too important to be left to the voters 😮‍💨

All things are too important to be left to the voters.

In this case, yes. But that's because they are a monopoly. In a free market, no one can tell you what to do unless you have harmed them or legitimately contracted with them, and this doesn't put you above the law. I don't care where the power is, as long as it is effectively a monopoly on ultimate decision making, it is unethical and needs to be replaced by systems of voluntary institutions.

The revelation that government is simply a tool of those who wish to remain in power forever shouldn't be surprising, although clearly attempts to pretend otherwise are being abandoned. Israel genociding an entire nation, UK is imprisoning tweeters, US is extraditing people without anything resembling due process to foreign prisons, populist candidates for leadership are being imprisoned or nullified in France, Romania and all across Africa, elections being suspended in Ukraine - the mask and gloves are off. Clearly those in power are confident enough now to openly ignore any "rule of law" - not that there was ever any such rule, but now they don't even pretend - including even demonstrating openly that the government itself is simply a charade.

The clampdown is here and the proles are both the victims and the willing servitors of same. A small group of those who would remain in power forever could not possibly do so against 7 billion or more proles without the consent and support of a great many of them. Getting the proles to raise arms against one another, imprison one another for crimes against those would would remain in power forever, collect and extort taxes from same (not that those in power need money, but government uses poverty to keep the proles under its control) et cetera, is how a tenuously small group (say under a million or so, with an inner circle of less than a few thousand) reigns over billions of proles. Like Trump said, "we're gonna build a wall and make them pay for it". The proles are both building and paying for their own forced servitude and eventual demise. The only way to end the nightmare is to wake up.
