2 Gangs live among my community; LeftXgang and RightYgang.
They both claim to offer protection/perks and constantly urge for my support. Many people in the community belong to one or the other, but I and a few others do not. The people who belong to either gang insist that I must join because those are the two choices in my community.
I and a few others ignore the 2 gangs and do business among ourselves. We help each other with removing a fallen tree, a wiring job for an additional room or house, mechanical help with our cars, and trade/sell food that we grow/raise in our gardens/farms.
Every once in a while, somebody in the community sees and understands what we are doing, and decides to quit the gang they belonged to and now do business with us.
There are some things that are inescapable, but over time as our numbers grow we can ignore those things altogether.
Yes, I know all about
Red Pill versus
Blue Pill. When freedom/liberty come from within and are actually practiced every day, no pills are ever needed. With no pills at all, that is an added savings.
Oh, and we never need to pay strangers [politicians] to act as a "third party" to get in the way of personal/private contracts.
