RE: The Illusion of Legality

The second part of your last sentence I agree with somewhat- but can you explain that first part?
Also, I don't think ANYONE can dispute a government's objective reality successfully in the case of war, for instance- and the world is NEVER at peace, so I think you have to grant its continuous existence, not just as some ephemeral metaphenomenon.
I totally accept the subjective reality of God, but can't come up with any demonstrable objective support (I don't need it myself, but there's a raft of anti-theists in the world who insist that without objective proof, God doesn't exist, CAN'T exist, and anyone who can accept subjective reality as "good enough" deserves ridicule they're glad to deliver).

Sort:  

When you are born in a country, like with the U.S. you are automatically made an extension of that country due to citizenship, which is a "right" given by the government. What other "rights" you are given depends on the country and it's particular laws, but the laws that are in place are all essentially parts of politics and decisions you had nothing to do with. You are raised in education systems controlled by the same government that basically forced you into being a part of it without ever asking your permission. You are then taught that this entity that has controlled your whole life is doing it for your benefit and that questioning it or doubting it is unpatriotic and of course you don't want to be unpatriotic, because they also teach you that they are the best there is and going anywhere else is dangerous or less "free." The point is that all of these thing inherently influence your free will from a young age and play a part in the course of your life. That's the logical part of it. As far as evidence, do I really need to go find sources? Declassified government documents make it clear there is always an agenda to control the masses, I mean the Patriot Act alone was more or less, "give up some of your freedom to protect the rest of it." That's without even getting into the events leading up to it being legitimate or false flag.
