[How does sovereign^infra ban tobacco cigarettes?

Regulation and taxation increase the cost of tobacco cigarettes.

Smoking is banned in particular locations.

And so on.

Some Progressive law firms make lots of money by suing the tobacco companies for elevated health costs from tobacco-related illnesses.

Progressives also raise the cost of the research and development of substitutes for tobacco cigarettes.

Today’s substitutes, available in niche markets, were developed outside the United States of America.]

[What happens to the tobacco smoker?

The mirror of the world (including the progressive regulatory zeitgeist)_3a no longer allows value_1b to coincide with desire_1a.

The following diagram shows the interscope restricted to sensible construction (a two-level interscope.

The next diagram shows the intersection, occurring under the influence of the think^pro-object of citizen health.]

[‘Responsibility₃₍₂’ and ‘freedom₂₍₁₎’ expand or contract together.

Responsibilities_3a(2acontextualize and embrace the somethings_2a that my freedom_2a(1a) supports.

Contrary to Modernism’s false opposition, responsibilities and freedom are in co-opposition.]

[The technical term is ‘reciprocity’

Each of us intuitively knows that nothing is truly free. To accept a gift is to accept the responsibilities of reciprocity.

This raises a fascinating sociological question:

How does one engage in reciprocity with an institution?]

[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.]

[So what happens when, in the Modern opposition, “freedom” is defined as lack of responsibility?

Do less responsibilities mean more freedom?]

[The following are equivalent:

Responsibility_3a(2a

The following are equivalent:

something_2a( potential of my desires_1a))

[Progressive values_1b are supposed to underlie our choices_2b.

There should be no contradictions, when values_1b align with desire_1a.

Our choices_2b touch base with Schoonenberg’s use of the word “service_3b”.

Some value_1b must be worth serving_3b.]

Schoonenberg wrote that we exercise freedom in serving either God or Satan.
