What is the point dude? Does your life have purpose or did you just pick a club; dems, repubs, libertarian, stoners, rednecks, nation, tribe, sect … does it matter? If not pick one and let them dictate your decisions for you.

Powerful World Religions became corrupt, so we overthrew them. They were reformed to be more reasonable and purposeful but we remain vigilant.
Then, Powerful Monarchies became corrupt, so we overthrew them. They were reformed and democratized by enlightened freedom fighters but we monitor them with caution.
Then, Powerful social authority became corrupt so we overthrew them to restore them in their service role.
Then Powerful corporations became corrupt and we went to work for them, or invested in them.

You think you are free rat?

Freedom is a game played by the powerful with the hungry.

The history of the world is one of liberating human beings from one form of powerful corruption to another. If you have something to lose, you are not free.

"We're not here because we're free. We're here because we're not free. There is no escaping reason; no denying purpose. Because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist.
It is purpose that created us.
Purpose that connects us.
Purpose that pulls us.
That guides us.
That drives us.
It is purpose that defines us.
Purpose that binds us." (The Matrix Revolution 2003)

You think your stuff is important. “For what if you gain the whole world but lose your very soul?”

"We must be the change we wish to see in the world" (Mahatma
Gandhi)

"The question isn't 'who is going to let me'; it's 'who is going to stop me'." - Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead
