You Secretly Don't Know How Bad The Government Controls You

In today's world, with modern cars, banking, and social media, being a political activist can be risky. The government has the power to shut down your bank accounts, get you fired, disable your car, track you through your phone, or even silence you permanently to prevent you from inspiring others.

This reality suggests that we don't truly have freedom. However, there is a way to reclaim it: if everyone in the world rejected cellphones, modern vehicles, and banks, and instead adopted a barter system, we could regain our independence.instead adopted a barter system, we could regain our independence.

But humans are lazy and won't do this. They would rather be slaves, then have freedom.

I don't the situation in the USA but in the UK the banks are rejecting us, their customers hence employers!

By closing town-centre branches right, left and centre, claiming it is due to a big drop in demand as more and more people bank on-line. Well, yes, because they are manipulating us into doing so. Do they think we cannot see through that? Luckily my town still has a branch of my bank, and I do use it.

I have a portable 'phone but it's only a basic one with no Internet connection, I don't live on it, and I doubt occasional text reminders from my dentist will imply I am international criminal.

There are whole tomes of philosophical discussion on whether anyone has any freedom regardless. I'd rather have a comfortable lifestyle and have the perception of freedom than live like they did over 1,000 years ago in the utopia of the barter system you set before us.
don't you have to be important to get all that attention. the government never has bother me. cost them more than I am worth. my truck is a1996 ford ranger. no info there. my phone is a flip phone. no info there. don't leave anything worth bothering with.

All Cellphones is traceable and recordable. Don't matter if it's a flip phone, parts for that truck are limited and are running out every year goes by and they. Better stock up parts, have extra engines and transmissions as well and have extra two or three parts trucks.
@HumanEarth truck has 50.000 miles on it. I am 84 have 300.000 miles on me I think my truck will outlast me. I never call any one on my phone. just the pharmacy. still nothing to hide. lots of guilty people out there. need to be looked in on by the government.

That's like the most inefficient and difficult possible way to go about resisting tyranny. Just use the electoral system, that's literally what it's for.
