Hello fellow Freedom Festivians 2025!
A really key idea- thats really just so simple- we wanted to share with you was Direct Democracy, A.K.A. Decentralization. This is the system that enables the people to decide, not politicians. Its not impossible or unworkable, there is other countries that do use it and allow the people to overrule the government on issues that do not work for the people. The idea is to listen to ALL the people not just a few elites.
The Interplay of Personal Opinion and Democratic Processes
Democracy, at its core, is a system built upon the principle of informed consent. Citizens, through the process of voting, collectively decide the direction of their society. This process hinges on the ability of each individual to form their own opinions, based on available information, and express them through their vote. However, the relationship between personal opinion and democracy is complex and often misunderstood.

The Crumbling Pillars of Democracy: A People’s Cry
The very foundation of democracy rests on a simple, yet profound principle: the right of the people to have a genuine say in the decisions that shape their lives and their nation’s destiny. This isn’t merely a matter of ticking boxes on a ballot; it’s about ensuring every citizen, regardless of their political affiliation or ideology, feels heard, respected, and valued in the processes that determine their future. For too long, this fundamental right has been eroded, chipped away by a growing disregard for the citizenry
How do Cantons work in Switzerland?
Switzerland’s unique political system allows for a high degree of direct democracy, particularly within its cantons. This means that citizens have a direct say in shaping their local laws and policies, going beyond simply electing representatives
#IndividuallyTogether
We feel the pain, the indignity, of every mad sounding public decision you’ve seen made in recent times. We know, like you, there’s little to no connect by the decision makers or today’s chiefs to common sense, to spirituality, to your essence, to our essence. They serve their own master, they don’t even communicate with…
