This is a deeply insightful and well-argued essay. The idea of the “social contract” as an unchosen, coercively enforced agreement hits home—especially when we see how the modern police state operates not as a neutral arbiter of justice, but as a shield for those in power. The analogy of a “hidden collar” is especially apt: most people don't realize how tight it is until they try to move freely.
I'd also like to invite readers to explore a related satirical piece I wrote: Live from Coronavirus Field: The Permitted Dissenters Take On the PCR Superstars. It looks at another aspect of the system's control apparatus—namely, how even “approved” dissent is carefully stage-managed to prevent deeper questioning of germ theory and public health dogma. In the end, both pieces point to the same truth: we’re not really consenting—we're complying. And recognizing that is the first step toward reclaiming dignity.

Thank you for the feedback and comments.
Your link seems broken. I tried it, but it will not open.
