   > Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed.
   
   Please describe the part that does not apply.

     @miscbrains @sun @pwm Specifically it says that governments are Chesterton's Fence and goes on to say that when things are terrible, people will put up with them long after they should. These things are accurate.

     @p@fsebugoutzone.org @sun@shitposter.world @pwm@darkdork.dev enjoy the decline? Was the 3% tax worthy of a revolution and current day is not? It is somewhat schismatic to hew to dictates to just take it and also celebrate revolution.

     @p@fsebugoutzone.org @sun@shitposter.world @pwm@darkdork.dev It's difficult to celebrate deliberately woozy positions.

     @miscbrains @sun @pwm The part I'm celebrating is not that things can become terrible; I was addressing your suggestion that people are the government by noting the difference between people and government by quoting the Declaration of Independence.

     @p@fsebugoutzone.org @sun@shitposter.world @pwm@darkdork.dev That may have been the case at one point, but by the civil war it's reconfiguration to be by, for, and of the people is generally understood.
