Restoring freedom — Gary D. Barnett points to Robert Heinlein's passivity-avoidance thinking

Like Australia's Caitlin Johnstone . . .
. . . I reject Western publics' passive submission to Power Elites' brain-asphyxiating propaganda, which:
daily murders Liberty
(by enslaving minds)
and, simultaneously
satanically reverses the most basic of human Ethics in the process.
Of our sad societal condition
Gary D. Barnett below-synopsized what has gone wrong with Liberty-protection. He ended his essay with an action-advising quotation from deceased author, Robert A. Heinlein:
Why is it acceptable to be lorded over, to be allowed to exist, to be told what to do and what not to do, to be metaphorically and in many cases literally chained by draconian mandates, to be restricted as to what to say and what not to say, and to be controlled by the malevolent dregs of society called ‘leaders’ and rulers?
Is this the true nature of man, or is this deranged state of mind the creation of evil intent by those seeking the power to dominate others?
This is a very important distinction, for if this weak and pathetic state of being is natural, then there is nothing that can remedy the misery of the ruled.
But if it is a designed and contrived effect of long term indoctrination, dumbing down, and a propagandized conspiratorial plot, then it can be reversed . . . .
The aggression against liberty levied by the ruling class over time has increased greatly, but only because it was voluntarily allowed.
Currently, little if any freedom has survived, and this is of course a planned outcome, that has been generally accepted by the herd.
This atrocity can only be remedied by the masses themselves, not by a few, and not by the total, but by large numbers of willing participants (individuals) who will practice the negation of government and rule.
“I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them.
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”
~ Robert A. Heinlein

The moral? — Liberty does not ask societal permission
It does not 'demonstrate' (for example) in hopes that Power will loosen the shackles.
Instead, Liberty slaps Power into submission by engaging in continual end runs of whatever our Parasitizing Elites try to influence and control.
Dissent is an action. Not a request.
