Obama officially jumps the shark.
effectiveresistance replied to your post: To the people who want to actively destroy…
This post is nonfactual and very dangerous.
Well, no. The reason why some people are willing to use any means necessary to fight back, is to save the earth. The earth is what’s at stake. Civilization will very likely make the planet uninhabitable on it’s way down. We desperately need to act.
Is it now? Just look at all the governments through out history. They all eventually crumble. Every single one of them.
To save the Earth? Hilarious.
If we nuked ourselves off the face of this planet, the Earth would be damaged, but over time, it will heal and correct itself and move on. We will be gone, the Earth will be here. The amount of damage we’d have to inflict onto the Earth to destroy it is nearly impossible because humanity wouldn’t be able to survive the process for long enough to see it through.
We do need to act, but not violently. That’s relying on the same force that government uses to bring about our preferences. How is that justifiable? It’s not.
Put down the violence and pick up the knowledge. That’s our only hope.
To the people who want to actively destroy government, I ask “Why turn to violence? Don’t even bother.” In the long run, every single government will inevitably destroy itself.
Explain the appeal of anarchism without using the letter ‘e’.
“Individual autonomy is paramount to social stability and human dignity. Anarchism supports this goal, that’s had through a combination of voluntary association and working-class solidarity against all forms of involuntary subordination.”
What do I win?
“to be had”
So close.
Fixed.
“To all people who are sending me evidence of Rand Paul’s various heresies, you can save your bandwidth. I’m not interested in saint making or witch burning. I’m only interested in one thing: progressive reductions of the role of all government power in people’s lives all the way to zero if possible. Whatever brings that about, in whatever sector it happens, and whether it happens slowly by steps or all in one fell swoop, I’m for it. I really don’t care who or what makes a contribution to this end or how it comes about, so long as it is ethical and it actually achieves the aim of human liberation, the mother of all progress, order, and higher civilization.” - Jeffrey ‘BAMF’ Tucker.
I apply this same principle to voting. Many libertarians, voluntaryists and anarchists are completely against voting. To me, if you are continually voting to abolish the state, I’m all for it.
Like him or not, Rand Paul is now at the top of the 2016 ticket. Unless you’re a buffoon that would actually elect Joe Biden.
Let’s hope Rand Paul doesn’t turn into another Obama.
Or a George W. Bush.
W ran on free market economics and being against gov’t…
stop voting jesus christ its like you people get SO close to going full anti-state sometimes but then get pulled back in by your naive dreams and emotional triggers.
I’m full on anarchist but I think that you have to be reasonable about the process of creating a full stateless society. You can’t just hide from the state with your head in the sand.
You must vote to eliminate the state while you fight the state and educate the people.
You have to always cast a dissenting vote. Vote against all taxes, vote against all laws, vote against all growth of government. You don’t have to vote for actual representatives and I can understand why this is counter productive (lesser of two evils, blah blah blah), but voting against local measures and taxes is a must for any advocate of statelessness.
After all, the majority of people aren’t going to wake up tomorrow and suddenly be anarchists. I still live here and I still have to pay taxes and be subjected to the immorality of the law and the force by which it is enforced. While this remains true, I believe it is self defense to constantly vote against it.
I have only voted twice for a ‘representative’. Once for Ron Paul in 2008 for the primaries and once in 2012 when I wrote Ron Paul’s name in backwards. I think electing any national representative is a joke and should be treated as such.
But when it comes to local measures, where your vote isn’t just for the so called “lesser of two evils” and it can actually vote out a criminal activity such as taxation or unjust legislation, you not only should vote, you must vote. It’s self defense.
Matt Ridley, Adam Darwin
Watched this last night. It’s one of the best speeches on the all-encompassing application of greatness of decentralization. Everything from evolution and human interaction to economics and government.
It’s only 30 minutes long, watch it while you eat lunch at your desk.
Reblogging this because not enough of you watched this.
WATCH THIS!!!
Does anyone else realize how incredible of a time we are living in?
Practically the entire planet, every corner and certainly every civilized continent is a midst protect, culture change, revolution and questioning. Questioning our existence, questioning our actions, questioning authority and questioning our destiny.
Yet, it seems as if no one is appreciating the beauty of the chaos we live in. We are seeing a time of civil unrest and conscious awakening that’s greater than the revolutionary era of 1776 to 1799 that saw both the American Revolution and the French Revolution.
The last few years has brought us the Arab Spring, the global Occupy movement, Wikileaks, the dissent and move to third and even fourth parties both here in America and abroad. We are seeing the weakening of political unions and the strengthening of localized, accessible government and even the promotion of self governance. The rise of Voluntaryism. The belief that voluntary interaction is not only better, but best.
The entire world is changing, at once. There is a global alignment of thought without coercion.
This isn’t the new world order that conspiracy theorists have feared for decades, this is the new world order that humanity has desperately seeking for millennia.
Fill in the blank.
There is no wrong answer.
I believe in the separation of PEOPLE and STATE.
