This is so true:

“How did a bunch of peasant farmers and citizen militias manage to defeat the largest and most powerful army and navy in the world to gain our independence over a 2% tax on tea… and somehow this spawned a nation with the central idea of “you can’t fight city hall”?”

Well said.

How did we get to this point? We’ve become way too apathetic. Heck, people have learned from the media it’s “cool” to mock the very people who do get up off their couches and question the status quo.

The mockers actually feel pride for accepting whatever they’re told to do (ie work months out of the year just to pay taxes that then go to our govt’s crony capitalists, lobbiests, etc). And they feel noble for having done so.

Very sad.
