But society wasn't foisted on us without our consent.

I don't recall having any say in it. Where's the opt-out clause?

At one point it might have been America (if you were European). Supposedly, the colonists had a lot of trouble with their indentured servants going native, thus the early colonial emphasis on freedom and natural rights as a mitigating measure.

Later, it might have been the West.

But today? How do you opt out now? Where's the release valve?
