[Would anyone offer you anything for ‘free’ (without apparent cost or obligation) in the short run, unless they hoped that the exchange would ‘obligate you, in the long run’?
An alternate approach is to offer ‘free stuff’ means ‘ with strings attached.
These strings (words) are co-opposed to bondage.]
[Progressive values1b are supposed to underlie our choices2b.
There should be no contradictions, when values1b align with desire1a.
Our choices2b touch base with Schoonenberg’s use of the word “service3b”.
Some value1b must be worth serving3b.]
Schoonenberg wrote that we exercise freedom in serving either God or Satan.
[Progressive institutions insist on a litany of obligations, expressing what the citizen ought to be. Their demands backed by the sword of the sovereign.
Progressive institutions compete with the family, tribe and religion. They want to be responsible for you (not to you).
They work through words: legal codes, deceptive labels, surveillance, indoctrination, mandatory education, rewriting history, agenda setting, ridicule and ostracism.]

[The claim, “I am not responsible.”, touches base with the modern definition of the word “freedom” as lack of obligations, especially impositions by family, tribe and religious cultural institutions.
The irony is that this assertion, rather than achieving a lack of obligations, merely transfers one’s obligations to institutions that declare themselves to be responsible.
How clever the Progressives can be.]

[The elite’s desire to blame others for whatever bothers them2a is the ‘something2a’ that holds Americans in bondage.
Progressive experts thrive on representing the good ones and identifying and destroying the bad ones.]

[My own inadequacy in understanding how to fulfill God’s laws2a was the ‘something2a’ that held first century common-folk Jews in bondage.
Paul, on the other hand, originally felt that he counted among the elites.
He knew how to fulfill God’s laws:
Persecute the followers of Jesus.]
[In the above examples, what do I desire?
I want to get along.
Therefore, the elites must never be satisfied with me.
They will always be morally superior in order to force me to pretend to desire things that I would never would desire on my own.
I desire to be left alone.
What I do to accomplish that desire validates the values that valorize elite moral superiority.]
[All systems can be scammed.
All sovereigns are prey for competing infrasovereign religions.
All sovereigns strive to contextualize themselves.
They do so through forced conversion of the ruled populations.
Big Government Liberalism is a state religion composed of an alliance of infrasovereign religions.]
