[The co-opposition of responsibility and freedom allows us to appreciate Schoonenberg ‘s text more fully.

Schoonenberg’s key opposition is between bondage and freedom.

Bondage is in co-opposition with words (expressions and impositions of organizationalobjectives and thinkgroup).

Freedom is in co-opposition to responsibility.]

The true oppositions are between freedom and bondage and between words and responsibilities.]

As part of the plea bargain, the individual is sent to a camp.

Thus, the court system, created to serve justice, may be bent to serve the sovereign’s social justice.]

[While America has not instituted camp, yet, attempts to destroy individuals through legal assault intimate the future.

Political enemies of the Progressives have been subject to intimidating and costly lawsuits. Progressive prosecutors do not seem to pay any cost for these show trials. They build a repertoire of legal assaults to launch at anyone who becomes identified as a ‘bad one’.]
