    It’s easier to start a competing company than it is to start a competing government.

    Not when Trump’s government refuses to do anything about all the slapp suits PayPal levies against you for treading on their financial turf.

    You need a powerful standing army for the latter,

    Corporations, without oversight, just become warlords with their own standing armies. You’re not getting out of this one through the low effort of simply buying a different brand of latte, man, I’m sorry.

      The problem is that government even has the power to do those things.

      And to paraphrase you, you can’t solve government problems with more government, I’m sorry, man.

        The problem is that government even has the power to do those things.

        How would you stop them from doing this?

        you can’t solve government problems with more government,

        Not when you aren’t in power. This is your fundamental flaw: You complain about the world, oh how you have complaints, but you have no will to power, no vision.

        Plant a fig tree; it will benefit your grandchildren.
