The central problem of a society is understanding why people consent to their own enslavement and obey governments, which are a small minority.
What's the mystery of mass submission?
It's perplexing that so many endure suffering under a government tyranny that holds power only because people choose to support it. This mass submission isn’t solely out of fear.
People obey out of convenience, tend to enslave themselves because they prefer the ease of submission to the discomfort of responsibility and freedom.
After all, what if you lost your job and need to claim state benefits? What about your pension? What about all the "free" services you could not imagine living without if the government did not exist?
Math isn't the strongest suit among people, let alone the understanding of free market dynamics.
People overlook the fact that the cumulative taxes and fees we are forced to pay, under the threat of violence, amount to much more than what could be provided at a truly viable minimum through private enterprise competition in unregulated free markets.
Ergo, most obey, giving up essential liberties to purchase a false sense of security at a premium price.
Ultimately, government tyranny relies on ongoing consent, and tyrants fall when the people withdraw their consent.
"Freedom from servitude comes not from violent action, but from the refusal to serve", and it starts with each individual.
Withdraw your support. Encourage others. Every Monero counts.
