Two more points:
1. Governments should be small and local. If your president does not know your name, it’s a big government. Bad. Armies should be replaced with militias. Same scale as governments: small and local.
2. You know why big governments with their faceless thugs, poisoned food, and delusional TV still prosper? Because they instill DISCIPLINE in their troops. As long as rioters, protesters, objectioners, positive thinkers, generally good people all pull the cart of society in different directions, laws won’t change, education won’t change, State won’t change – the world will not change. Force is useless without a vector. Thus: find someone who (a) you know is smarter than you, (2) shares your values, (3) is honest – and force them to be a hub for a group of say 10 people.

Each election governments want us to choose between 2 or more equally irrelevant candidates on the national level. We should push our own, relevant candidates to the national level – from the real life down here. Govenments have budgets, brute force, and everything to lose. We have time, patience, and nothing to lose. The field is even, ain’t it?
