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.

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.
