how is this kind of blatant shakedown even still a thing?

It became a part of revenue about 5 seconds after it was introduced. Now governments are dependent on it and removing it would have severe consequences.

It started out as a good idea to remove the profit motive from drug dealing but has long since become corrupted.

This is the same ACLU that doesn't believe in free speech. Who cares what they have to say? They're morally bankrupt.

Libertarians think that they should give up defending freedom because Americans hate liberty, but Libertarians should keep resisting tyranny for selfish reasons.

While the elites control the money, government, and media, the 99% have the numbers.

One Libertarian may not be able to resist being sent to the concentration camps, but one million people might.
