Tyrants only have power as long as we give them the power. Unfortunately, in the West, people in countries like Australia, America and Canada are just too comfortable. They also think they cannot change anything, so they accept things as usual. They also believe the messages that the tyrants put out over and over. However, in time, even the most oppressive regimes can fall. Let's look at Eastern Europe.
Ely, well done, you have focussed on the one premise we Voluntaryists start from: governments--any would be "legitimate" rulers--can only rule if the ruled allow them to by believing in their moral right to rule.
“Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break into pieces.” Étienne de La Boétie, The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude
I was astounded how many came out into the streets, the Canberra march was truly historic, as were Sydney and Melbourne...
The media SERIOUSLY DOWNPLAYED the crowd numbers, the pictures don't lie... These people marching haven't changed their stance on Covid, and if anything have more people on their side now than they did back then!
Well said Ely..
Hey Dirk, nice to hear from you.

No one rules if no one obeys.
I double like this!

Hopefully this is the start of a positive turnaround, I won't hold my breath, but I can feel more people than ever doubt the narrative.
