[From Dave Smith's 2017 "Libertas" comedy special, regarding cops, at 47m45s:]

You know who I am afraid of, is cops. That's who fuckin' scares me. Like our own fuckin' cops. 'Cause they just arrest you for anything.

You ever seen those YouTube videos where the guy'll be at a checkpoint, and they'll be like, "License and registration," and the guys were like, "You don't have the Constitutional authority to have my --."

Jesus Christ, bro! People really believe in shit! It doesn't matter how ridiculous it is, people believe in these crazy, ridiculous, made-up mythologies, just, like, ridiculous untrue things that you're taught when you're little, y'know, stupid shit, like, "You have rights," and, and then people believe that, like it's a real thing.

I was talking to one of my friends; he was, like, protesting the cops, and he let this fly out of his mouth (this is even worse than, "You have rights"): He said this to me; he goes, "You know what's fucked up about the cops is: They work for us."

I was like, "What?? No they don't! I'm sure you were taught that in, like, a civics class somewhere, but that's just bullshit that they say to keep you in line! The cops don't work for us. That's, like, that's testable. You think the cops work for us? Okay, let's prove it! I want one of you guys to go outside right now, round up a bunch of cops, and, just, y'know, start bossin' 'em around a little bit, and we're gonna find out pretty quickly who the cops work for."

Amazing! I said this to my friend, and he got very defensive, because I started making fun of this, y'know, when you challenge people's bullshit mythology, they tend to get defensive, so he's, like, "Well, no, I'm not saying, like, they work for us, but what I'm saying is, the way the system is supposed to work is, I pay my tax dollars, and that pays his salary, so he works for me."

And I was, like, "That is some interesting logic right there, okay? So you pay your tax dollars that pays someone's salary, so they work for you. Well, here's the part of that equation that you are willfully leaving out: You don't choose to pay your tax dollars. You fuckin' have to, okay? You have to! You have to at the threat of violence!, at the threat of, 'We will throw you in a cage if you don't pay these!' and then you pay them. Someone doesn't work for you if you have to pay them after they threatened you... Someone only works for you if you choose to pay them."

That would be, like, if someone mugged you, and then you were like, "Okay. I guess that guy works for me now. I mean, I'm paying his salary; I mean, it wasn't till he threatened me that I paid his salary, but under this retarded logic that I've cultivated, I guess this guy works for me now. And I'll be honest, I wasn't even planning on hiring a new employee today, so it's been a pretty good day for me. This is my day off."

If you pay your tax dollars, and that pays someone's salary, not only do they not work for you, you work for them. Literally! Literally. You work, and you get money for the work, and then you give it to them. You work for them! And then they've got you so mind-fucked that not only do you work for them, but then after you give them the money, you go, "Sucker!"

I mean, that is some unbelievable shit.

German here. Our current government is led by Friedrich Merz, a BlackRock lobbyist for years. He is trying to privatize our infrasture at this very moment. We are all so F´d.

It wasn't trump. Trump is bankrupt. It's trumps owners who started buying up social media influencers. The family name starts with R.

Jones; they’re going to put troops in the streets. No problem when Trump does it.
Jones; they’re creating a tech surveillance state. No problem when Musk and Thiel do it.
