Imagine thinking you employ someone who steals from you. While the reality is that those "employees" get to boss you around & could put you in a cage that was paid for by the value they have already stolen. Obviously they aren't employees, but they also aren't all knowing or all powerful.
"We the poeple" is a thoughtless, voiceless abstraction that is impossible to distinguish from "the public" or "the majority" which is exactly what authoritarians use to manipulate & control individuals.
Let go of ideas & concepts that do not serve you.
You don't need any sort of collective or a "we" of any kind to quietly stop obeying & stop funding your own destruction one step at a time.
