Agree, John, the proposition has always been there, its baked into the cake. All your nice things are subject to a license to participate in the System. Like the terms of service nobody reads. Take any of their actions to the logical conclusions and it's a fool's errand to think one can avoid being presented with the new terms.

This is a spiritual war. Or in a pragmatic sense, a war of will. They know we are largely willing to trade liberty for comfort. This is clear. So now we are just negotiating the price. Oh, the price just tripled? Go ahead and switch cable providers. Of course, its all the same. That's the point.

So, our strength is not in negotiating with the system that seeks to enslave us. It is in the myriad of ways in which we demonstrate we do not need the system. That is a state of mind. That state of mind is something they can never take from us.
