@p@fsebugoutzone.org @pwm@darkdork.dev @sun@shitposter.world if people allow the gov. i don't see the distinction.
@p@fsebugoutzone.org @sun@shitposter.world @pwm@darkdork.dev indeed- Sadly, I've not seen any evidence of that applying in the present day.

Please describe the part that does not apply.

@p@fsebugoutzone.org @sun@shitposter.world @pwm@darkdork.dev enjoy the decline? Was the 3% tax worthy of a revolution and current day is not? It is somewhat schismatic to hew to dictates to just take it and also celebrate revolution.
@miscbrains @sun @pwm Specifically it says that governments are Chesterton's Fence and goes on to say that when things are terrible, people will put up with them long after they should. These things are accurate.
@p@fsebugoutzone.org @sun@shitposter.world @pwm@darkdork.dev It's difficult to celebrate deliberately woozy positions.
