 The family is the link between corruption of the whole society and the freerider mentality where people leave it to a minority to fight for freedom.

It goes like this:

"I know what my employer does is wrong, but I do what I'm being told because I have an obligation to feed my family.

"I cannot join the freedom fight, because I risk losing my job, which would be a violation of my duties to my family.

"Besides, I know other people fight even if I don't.

"Yes, I know it makes me a freerider...

"I don't want to talk about it...."

***A few months later***

"Why does the world come crashing down around me?"

***

"Why did I lose everything?"

"Have you seen my family?" https://image.nostr.build/08f366e42e6103ac2678eb843d02e6746e0a1aa190481685598a7b8e43ea10d6.jpg 
 I never feel like I'm doing enough. 
 We never do enough, so that's an honest feeling then. 
 Scream about infringements on free speech  -> posts goes viral.

Remind people about who's ultimately responsible for defending freedom 👇 -> few care to read it.

This is the cancer we deal with.

And the screaming is mainly about signalling that others must fix things for them.
