I appreciate the small government sentiment, but the bald fact is that two people under one rule is gonna end up tyranny.

The fact of power is that them as seize it, have it. This is what is meant by 'freedom isn't free', and 'the tree of liberty is nourished by the blood of patriots'. Neither I, nor you, nor anyone we know, is going to disenfranchise the USG anytime soon.

The USG is doing fine disenfranchising itself, for those with patience.

If you want self-determination, it isn't out of reach. But, be honest. You weigh what it will cost you against what it will cost you to remain subject to the USG, and you remain subject to the USG.

This is WHY the USG remains in force. Everyone else here does the same thing.

Well, not everyone. Some have extricated themselves from culpability for USG crimes by joining other nations, and renouncing their US citizenship, like Prime Minister David Williams, whom you can watch interviewed by Sarah Westall on her YT channel(this is not the first of their interviews, just the first I saw to link).

I expect watching a few of those interviews will provide good and relevant information that you can use to gain peace of mind and political freedom - if you're willing to pay the price.

Thanks!
