People argue that if companies stay private, then the government won't control it. They err.

The government controlled pre-Nazi Germany before it became socialist.

The government controlled Cuba before it became communist.

The government controlled the United States before nationwide lockdowns.

If there is a government, there is no private property. If there is a government, then all the private companies in the world won't stop it from controlling everything.

The key to protecting freedom is to not comply when the government comes for your rights.

The key to protecting freedom is to be a good citizen and look out for your neighbors and your community. To be a non-violent citizen who only seeks people's benefit.

The key to protecting freedom is to sue the government for every penny they have when they try to take your money through "civil asset" theft.

To not comply when they tell you that you will be shot if you don't hand over your weapons.

To not comply when they want your Bible or your Torah or your Aristotle or Plato.

To not comply when they want to kill your kid in a foreign land so they can get reelected next year and blow your tax dollars on stupid senseless violence in foreign countries.

To peacefully protest the killing of innocent life. To peacefully protest when they try to haul your family away and throw then in an internment camp for being unvaccinated or Jewish or Italian or Japanese or Christian.

All that is required for tyranny to succeed is for good men to do nothing. Do not comply with evil, and evil will not succeed.
