People of "privilege" are often in the class doing the destroying.
Our opinions may be diametrically opposite. The only people "squandering" anything are the ones who enjoy parts of liberation, and agree with it, yet aren't even willing to at least stand in vocal solidarity with those who actually fight for it. The only ones who "squander" anything squeeze as much opportunity as they can out of freedoms and stand silent, from complacency or from fear, while civil liberties are destroyed. People rejecting oppression and acting upon what they know is right are doing the opposite of squandering.
One of the great lessons to nurture a skeptical mind is to learn to question everything. Question everything. Question everything especially when it's in the face of those who stake a claim to authority. Often the people who seize authority are people most eager to dominate and objectify others, and to blindly follow abusive orders. The DoJ and state entities, as it happens, are motivated by political victory, increased funding, and indirect monetary backing from corporate entities with ulterior motives. Impartiality doesn't exist, and is near nonexistent without a lot of money. "Truth" is rarely a motivating factor unless it's convenient. The US justice system is rotten in countless aspects. This especially includes the FBI. We can agree that it's good to not become a useless pawn or useless martyr to them when wise options exist. However, a voluntary market is a peaceful, wise option for many people. Yes, the system is still primed to threaten, cage, and destroy people who engage in it. It is that system and appeasers who should be vilified, not peaceful people. They are not "squandering." They are merely trying to live their lives.
You assume that DPR "put a hit on someone." Very little of what was chatted about makes sense whether or not the transcripts are accurate and attributable to him (and not someone else). To my distant vantage, the transcript suggests the person thought he was talking to a fake and was essentially toying with the fake; on the internet, we're all super heroes and can say anything extreme, facetiously. Who knows...
Wise is the one who continually perceives and questions. Ignorant and careless is the one who swiftly reaches judgment.
