You're missing my point. You say that you live in a kleptocratic suffocatocracy but what exactly about your life is so highly regulated to make you think so? You are NOT required to work in an organization for a living. You can starve to death, find someone to take care of you, beg for food or walk into the ocean. Working for a living is YOUR CHOICE. You work for a living because you want a house, a car, nice clothes, good food and nice toys. That is YOUR CHOICE. Does someone come to you every morning, put a gun to your head and say, 'get up son it's time to go work for a living?' NOPE. You are not required to live in this or any other country. You can emigrate to, say, Afghanistan or remote parts of, say, Canada where few people if any will bother you in your hunter gatherer existence. Yet YOU CHOOSE to live where you have electricity, internet access and enough time to post every now and then. That is YOUR CHOICE. The tradeoff of YOUR CHOICE is the requirement to not steal from others, to pay taxes, to drive on the right side of the street and, perhaps, to be drafted. If you don't like these choices then choose to get political and change your government. If you cannot get enough people to agree with you then that is THEIR CHOICE. You are free. You exercise your freedom every single day. If you are unhappy about your choices, choose something else.
