Because none of us - not you, not me - are willing to pay the sacrifice to actually be free.
I've mentioned sacrifice before but it's not just some abstract concept. For me, personally, I know the sacrifices that I would need to make. For me to make a meaningful contribution to the fight for freedom, I would need to forfeit my savings, my job, my hobbies, and live basically the rest of my life as a hunted and wanted criminal. I'm not willing to pay that sacrifice.
But if I did -- even as a lone individual -- I am confident that I could make a meaningful contribution to liberty, and potentially even change the course of history with my actions.
I just choose not to.
