The Rule of Consent
Make it make sense, if you can.
With consent, it is lovemaking.
Without consent, it is rape.
With consent, it is a sparring match in a karate dojo.
Without consent, it is assault.
With consent, it is borrowing your cordless drill.
Without consent, it is theft.
The Rule of Consent is so clear to all human beings that it does not even need to be explicitly stated as a formal rule. Everyone just knows it. And everyone knows when it has been violated. It is a foundational moral truth.
And yet…
Government subjects you to governance without your explicit consent.
Government takes your money without your explicit consent.
Government imposes force upon you without your explicit consent, even if you have not first imposed force upon them or anyone else.
So please explain the precise moral calculus by which something that is foundationally immoral is transmuted into something moral—or even just allowable—when a government does it.
Any discussion is welcome here. If you believe you can make it make sense, I want to hear it.
I challenge you to look this squarely in the face.
I challenge you to set aside a lifetime of indoctrination and millennia of cultural programing. Sweep it all away and really look at it.
See the white-hot logic. Feel your intuition. Listen to the song that nature is singing.
They are all telling you one thing. People who want to control and exploit you are telling you another.
Choose wisely.
Actually, our parents and their parents etc...DID give consent to be governed. Innocently.
From what I have learned by doing deep dives into sovereignty, our birth certificates ARE our consent. Registration means giving over control to the thing you register with. There are many places to search and find this information but I’ll just leave this here in case you wanna look at it:

Let me know what you think!
Wow, I see your point and have to agree as disturbing as it may be. Yet as imperfect as it may be it still seems the best currently in practice. Although I have found myself pondering have we technologically advanced enough to now truly put the power in the Peoples hands where it belongs?
Can we develop a secure online voting platform that would enable the elimination of elected officials. However at the same time it has to be implemented in such fashion as to protect against mob rule hence the electoral college system. Along with protecting states rights as the original rules for the US Senate had them appointed by the state governors and ratified by state legislatures did before being changed under the Wilson administration.
I for one am of the opinion it’s time to empower the People!
