    there’s no such thing as “governmental overreach” in a well working system that is FOR the people and BY the people

    Nope: two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.

    Coercive power can be turned against the individual democratically. A system that gives government the power necessary to protect individual liberty but also denies it authority to abuse liberties is necessary.

    civil disobedience, not by corporatist overreach

    “corporatist overreach” can be civil disobedience & legal challenges.
