The cost of freedom is eternal vigilance.
We have systems in place to push back against the slow but incessant march (back) to plutocracy, but we don't always use them in a timely fashion. After almost 250 years there's been some... entropy.
Except it's not entropy, it's order (which helps with the sales pitch). Just not the kind of order everybody needs.
