 My point was that you have freedom to do all that you listed, IF you are willing to face the brutal government consequences for that!
So, what you don't have is #liberty.

And there's not really such a thing as your or any other "country".

It's everywhere just an armed gang of thieves and bullies that call themselves "lawful legitimate #government" and rob and abuse everyone else as you said, on the territory they claim and call your "#country".

The abuse is real, but their whole construct is just an illegitimate protection racket for #taxes.
