Interesting that you equate leaders with taking away freedoms. Leaders aren't rulers, and legislators are neither. Those should be mostly administrators, and very limited as such. The complacency of the people allowed elected public servants to start behaving as rulers. This was enabled by the indoctrination of students within a system guaranteed to keep them unthinking and ignorant. Note the sharp change between the inventive boom of the 1800s with the decline by the 1900s. Check when public schools were mandated.
Baseline, the educational system requires extreme overhaul, the 1776 Project provides a framework for history and civics, but logic, rhetoric and reason must be re-instilled, among with fundamentals including home economics and shop class, elimination of universal pricey colleges, restoration of tech schools and cleansing of 'higher learning' toward MAGA.
The local fights need to be engaged in, local just and godly leaders must take places in the churches, towns and school councils, every position of authority and responsibility must be cleansed and refilled with stable Patriots, committed to the long haul. No one needs to be stuck in a job like that forever, and should not be, but a pipeline of local Patriots and youth must be established to prevent commies from ever gaining a foothold again. Then we work up through counties and states to eliminate unjust taxation, unjust codes, unjust laws... while addressing corporate ownership of the state and federal houses, the bureaucracy and agencies.
Not seeing where any of this involves deprivation of rights, but rather restoration of rights. I'm a practical person but I do engage in philosophical matters, so I'd refer back to Tocqueville's writings on why America was exceptional in his day, wrt all the best western civilization back to the Roman empire had to offer.

They PRESUME to be our leaders, and we blindly allow all they do. These "leaders" have managed to erode our natural rights over the past 150 years well beyond the point of recognition. Need we discuss anything beyond wars, taxes, "emergency acts", Covid insanity, etc. to make the fundamental point?
Those should be mostly administrators, and very limited as such.
I can't think of a single "limitation" they feel stifled by. You can step your way through the Bill of Rights and see none are truly upheld, let alone the essential articles of the Constitution. It's all been trampled under foot - no exceptions.
Some will argue that 1A is still in place, but is it really? Perhaps in your house or backyard but that's about the extent of it still being honored. You can't even say certain things on this board without having your account terminated. Now imagine what can be said on the major media networks, newspapers, social media, etc. Huge limitations across the board. The private company / public square argument continues to be deflected by our "legislators", in favor of the corporations of course. There are virtually zero free speech options at all. Gab, Bitchute (partially), Odysee. That's literally about it.
Many make the argument that the 2A is still enforced, but is it really? That you need to pass a background check is the very definition of infringement. That you can't buy certain types of guns but "they" can. Another obvious infringement. I don't think I need go on...
How did we get here if not by the actions or inactions of our leaders and legislators? Covid proved they could get the brainwashed populace to follow along with anything they suggested, and they knew the populace would handle the enforcement of their desires (via peer/public pressure). All they had to do was prevent any open dialogue and counter-narratives from ever reaching media outlets and the rest took care of itself.
The complacency of the people allowed elected public servants to start behaving as rulers.
Brainwashing and propaganda deployed by the highest "elected officials" enabled this.
This was enabled by the indoctrination of students within a system guaranteed to keep them unthinking and ignorant.
Agreed, but this was late in the game, 1920s/1930s at the earliest. The systemic brainwashing of the adult population was already well under way for at least 50 years by the time Rockefeller education started to enter the picture.
Note the sharp change between the inventive boom of the 1800s with the decline by the 1900s. Check when public schools were mandated.
There was actually an explosion of inventions in the 1900-1930 timeframe. A long, long list. I don't know when public schools were mandated, but I'd guess even later than this - post WWII for sure I'd surmise.
Baseline, the educational system requires extreme overhaul
It's going to be eliminated altogether within the next 20 years IMHO. That is, in any way resembling what exists today. Society will "regress" (which is really "progress" in relation to now) back to simple living in balance with nature when today's madness ceases to be.
As to your final paragraphs, everybody needs to essentially mind their own business, adhere to the golden rule and follow their bliss. Nothing short of this will do. And I firmly believe we're heading in this direction but it will take at least a generation or two to see tangible evidence of it. The obstacle is, we live in a society almost singularly based on the acquisition of money which causes all the antagonistic behaviors that are counter to this simple set of rules.
And don't get me wrong, I do get it that "it seems impossible and hopelessly deluded to think we can get from here to there". It must happen in stages of course.
The fundamental fix for it all is the masses taking back their power that is currently being unwittingly given away to our "leaders". And that can only begin after the masses recognize how profoundly they've been deceived on virtually everything they've been taught that they can't easily verify for themselves that gives the "leaders" a distinct advantage over the serfs. And this entails a long, long list that cuts to the core of every institution, bar none.
The "federal government" was established as a "business" from the get go. It had 19 clearly enumerated duties to fulfill, everything else fell back to the independent nation states. The elected representatives (Congressmen, Senators) were put in place to keep this "business" operating properly, fulfilling the wishes of the people of the states. All "legislation" these elected representatives passed applied solely and completely to the EMPLOYEES of this business (federal government) - having not a single thing to do with the population. Put simply; statutes, acts and codes were meant to be CORPORATE POLICIES exclusively applicable to federal employees only.
And look what we have now. Hundreds if not thousands of "federal agencies" and 92 MILLION statutes on the books later, the vast majority of which infringe upon and/or impinge our natural freedoms in one way or another. They're so universal and prevalent, we don't even notice them. It's just the "way it is", right?
It's at about this time when I often hear "well name one country that has it better than us?" I totally get it. We have more freedoms than any other country in the western world as far as I'm aware. But we're all under the thumb of the cabal ultimately.
Back in them thar olden' days, the county sheriff was the "top dog" and highest "official" of the land he oversaw. While by no means a perfect system, it was vastly superior to what we have today. The state government's duties and role in daily life were vastly diminished in comparison, really only having powers to regulate intra-county activities by and large. The federal government of course had zero authority/influence other than over federal employees in the county of course. And this system worked quite well for decades. If you didn't like the rules/laws being enforced by the sheriff in your county, you could move a few miles to a county. There was no need to expatriate under these circumstances. The county with the least restrictive sets of county rules/laws would attract the majority of the people to it. The sheriffs overstepping their powers would lose their next election. A near perfect system of checks and balances.
I believe this is the direction we're headed. There will be some sort of balkanization in the not-too-distant future as more and more wake up to the bassackwards, completely inverted system of government we somehow allowed to take hold. I've got some crazy theories as to how this was all allowed to happen. I'll only suggest that some form of mass collective brainwashing had to have happened that put everybody to sleep. And as such, we appear to be in the very early stages of the "Great Awakening".
Here's hoping we're about to shift this puppy into second gear soon!
Heck of a rant, tldr. But I think the gist of it is that we've got a lot of work, that you agree with the founding fathers' writings, and Tocqueville's as well.
Public school was mandated state by state starting in the 1800s but their Humanist designers were clear (testifying before Congress in the application for funding) that they were always intended to replace family and church with state and government, and to prepare a compliant workforce ready for the 'inevitable' consolidation with communism.
States are really nations, independently run, and must return to their power before we complete the maga path.
Vaguely recall my rant, lol, but I'm sure it was a doozy!
Everything changed after the coup otherwise known as the civil war. No more "nation states", "American" converted to "Federal" government, aka a corporation. Marx had made his mark with the right usurpers, no doubt.
I don't think the maga path works until another 50 million or so brainwashed sheeple wake up. Hard to believe but the vast majority still think everything is just fine and there's no need for any big changes in education, government, medicine, economy, etc.
IMHO, that much longed for "precipice" is still a ways off sadly.
