Though many efforts to "improve," "fix" or "reform" the flaws of this system are often well-meaning and decent efforts, the inherent criminality of the State – which only usurps power for the sake of more power and control – makes it so that true reform is impossible. The many points of corruption are tied to an underlying nervous system of tyranny that refuses to give an inch in the only direction, and uses the rest of the system to protect the whole.

Though our free speech rights to protest and redress the government for grievances is important to stand up for, the system is incapable of responding to this from the ground up.

Like so many great movie monsters, the Deep State must instead topple by its own weight. Pressure on its many fractures may well give, and cause the whole system to implode. If so, we should all take a big step backwards to avoid the destruction, and then take a good long moment to reflect before starting the whole thing again.
