“Socialists seem to think George Orwell’s 1984 is a suggestion, or at least are unashamed of mimicking the methods of the totalitarian state Orwell depicted. Libertarians know it to be a warning, and a government that micro-manages all aspects of humanity an intolerable reality.”
— A.E. Samaan

Statism is a Cult.
Many people fall into it nowadays with such ease. Worse yet, it is an extremist cult.
You have people so crazy for Trump that they believe every word he says and because Trump nominated Kavanaugh, these people have threatened death on Dr. Ford for her accusation and testimony.
Then, you have the left, who are so sure that what Trump says is wrong and what any Democrat says is right, that they will completely ignore Due Process, theyre ready to tie the noose around Kavanaugh's neck without even asking themselves if they could possibly be wrong, that maybe Kavanaugh is innocent, because they dont care.
Statism has people on both sides getting violent because they think theyre cause is righteous, and in the end, when we have a camera in every home, with government watching our every move, not being able to say a single word against government without fear of arrest or worse, these same people will ask themselves, "How did this happen?"
You people, you cultists, you statists, you let it happen by asking your God, the government, to protect you at all costs. Because you didnt want to accept responsibility for yourselves.
"Not My President."
It's been awhile since this has been relevant. The whole "Donald Trump is not my president!" movement that started on November 9th, 2016 when the results were in.
Only reason I'm talking about it now is because I still occasionally see facebook posts from a page called exactly that, "Donald Trump is Not my President." So it still has some traction around social media.
The downfall of these people who make this claim is their inconsistent logic.
He isn't their president, yet they complain about how he is making us Americans look bad, about how he needs to be more polite and stop antagonizing other countries. How is he making you folks look bad? He isnt your president, is he?
Fact of the matter is y'alls collectivist values won't allow you to critically take that stance. If you did critically take that stance, not only would you support secession, but it'd have a whole movement petitioning to have it on the midterm ballot.
Dont get me wrong, I am in favor of secession. But despite y'all believing that he isnt your president, all you've actually done is protest him and havent moved towards any steps to actually cutoff some of his reach.
The last thing I want to mention though is that I've expressed my opinion on voting in the past, and as George Carlin has said, people who vote have no right to complain, you wanted a master, you got one. If you voted, even if it wasnt for Trump, you got exactly who you voted for, a Master to tell you what to do and how to live your life.
"That wasnt real communism!"
To the people who claim that communist countries during the 20th century wasn't "Real Communism." Allow me to humor this thought.
These countries maybe werent really communist for X reason. But they were an attempt at communism. So the attempt at Communism killed 100million+ people during the 20th century.
Meanwhile the attempt at True Capitalism brought the amount of people in poverty down from something like 90% of the world population, to something like 10-20% of the world's population.
To recap: Attempted Communism killed 100million+ people in the century it was implemented while attempted capitalism raised hundreds of millions out of poverty in the same timespan.
To the Writers of Teen Wolf, Season 6 Episode 17.
First of all, yes I am a fan of the show. My girlfriend had me watch and I got hooked. The story is fairly solid.
In reference to tonight's episode, Season 6, Episode 17, Werewolves of London, I only have one thing I want to talk about. The obvious Fear Mongering you wrote in about guns. I am an advocate of the right to bear arms and I'd like to talk about the specifications of the gun Peter, Ian Bohen's character, talked about.
1) The G36 does not shoot 750 rounds in 1 minute. The math on that is easy, that would require 12.5 rounds to be fired a second, which is not possible. Rather, the G36 has a 750rounds/min CYCLIC rate of fire. Cyclic rate of fire basically means that it is the average it could fire if certain variables wouldnt take effect. Several different measurements are used. The fastest and most commonly quoted rate is the cyclical rate of fire. However, heat (possibly leading to weapon failure) and exhaustion of ammunition mean most automatic weapons are unlikely to sustain their cyclic rate of fire for a full minute. That is why lower rates apply in practice and it is incorrect to describe the cyclic rate of fire as "the number of rounds a weapon can fire in one minute."
You're not wrong in the sense that you quoted the correct cyclic rate of fire, but youre holding out on some facts that it would not be possible to sustain the cyclic rate for a whole minute.
2) The length of time the hunter was shooting is another big thing. I would say that the amount he shot out of the G36, once it was loaded, was about the full clip that Peter gave him, which the magazines available for the G36 are either the 30 round magazine or the 100 round drum mag, so yes it was definitely a 30 round mag that Peter tossed to him. But when it jams up you can only see about 14 bullet holes in the glass. Even though it was shot for about 30 seconds, give or take 10 seconds. Even if it did have a slightly lower rate of fire, it would still be out of ammo after that much sustained firing. It would not be jammed up, it'd be empty. Yes, i really did use my DVR to count how much he fired, and in the time between he loaded up and started shooting, to the point where Scott McCall said "There's something wrong with him." He had shot at least 22 rounds and was still shooting, at least another 10 more rounds.
3) Ownership of fully automatic weapons is illegal in America. The G36 does have a semi-auto option, but a full auto version would not be available to private citizens. Mind you, Gerard is a licensed arms salesman, but he still would not be allowed to legally sell that weapon. So, in a sense by providing a bad guy with a gun, you are proving that prohibition of guns would not work. You believe that gun laws would work because they are laws, but prove with Gerard and his hunters that bad guys dont obey laws. By limiting free trade, you create a black market of things you dont believe should be available. It's the same reason I am opposed to the War on drugs and believe ALL drugs should be decriminalized, because limiting the sale of drugs creates a black market and makes the sale and use of drugs and guns a lot more dangerous.
Guns are morally neutral, theyre only bad based on the intent of the user. Some people's moral compass is pointed in the wrong direction, that is obvious as there is an abundant amount of people in this country who believe that by voting for the right person, theyre new master will solve all of our problems, whether by force or not. But dont forget, the amount of people who couldve voted in the 2016 election and did not vote is still the majority.
World War 3
WW3 is coming, Trump wants to place Nukes in S. Korea while China sends 150,000 of it's troops to defend N. Korea, meanwhile there is more than likely going to be a huge conflict between Russia and America for the Syria bombing. This is the set up for WW3. I oppose any war and my intent is to dodge any draft, I will not fight for any government, especially the US Government which has clearly been the aggressor so far. If I go to jail for my beliefs, so be it, but I will fight in the courts for freedom. A Man Chooses, A Slave Obeys.
Big VS Minarchist
A Friend of mine posted in an Anarcho-Voluntaryist group on Facebook asking about the logic behind saying ALL forms of government are equal.
There is no logic in saying a Minarchist Government is equal to a Totalitarian Government. My Favorite comment was someone who said “Yes, a non-dumbass can recognize that less government is better than lots of government, without actually condoning government. Most of the important things in life are NOT merely two dimensional.”
Your Thoughts?
Debates
The other day, while I was arguing for Freedom of Association, I was told “Not everything has to be a debate.”
I agree not EVERYTHING has to be a debate. But when you threaten a person’s freedom, basically by saying “There should be a law...” It absolutely has to be a debate.
Surprise to me.
I'm honestly shocked Trump won. I wasnt expecting that. I will hold this L over my head but not proudly. I didnt want Clinton, but I didnt want Trump either. To the folks upset by this election, maybe now you'd be willing to talk to a Voluntaryist today about Voluntaryism. I would also like to welcome back the anti-war left. You've come back from the dead after 8 years. No easy feat.
Talk Shit about the prequels all you want. This particular moment when Padme reacts to the Galactic Republic being converted into the Galactic Empire is spot on. Liberty Dies with thunderous Applause. Just watch, Hillary’s inauguration speech will have her in a dark cloak and announcing the first American Empire, then 20 years later she’ll disband congress.
(S)Election Day
Alas, it is here. The Day has come. Selection Day, and I call it that because the establishment has predetermined the results of this day for months, if not years. Hillary “The War Candidate” Clinton will be the next President of the United States.
Corrupt politicians, Corporatism and War are the only end result of this woman’s presidency. Your taxes will increase, your wage will become more meaningless and socialist policies like Obamacare and Social Security will become more rampant.
The only hope we have is the same hope we had with Barack Obama. The republicans will constantly try and block any attempt she makes at plunging our country into ruin. Unfortunately, anything she doesn’t get through the proper channels of the constitution, she will use an Executive Order, just as Obama did.
As hard as it is for me to admit, Donald J Trump was the lesser of 2 evils. Rampant Nationalism is preferable to Rampant Globalism, no matter who the President is, the Individual loses.
With that, I leave my endorsement for President. Giant Meteor 2016. Still Hoping on you buddy.
Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest majority on Earth is the individual).

(via 51 Quotes On Anarchism By People Who Actually Understand What It Means - Liberty Upward)
This Election is NOT an insult to our intelligence.
Don’t let anyone say that this Election Cycle is an insult to our intelligence. It is not. This election is a REFLECTION of our intelligence. Through decades of voting for the lesser evil, the American Voter has rewarded evil with power. As such two collectively agreed upon evils are now major party candidates and no matter which wins, Blatant Evil will win.
The only people who are allowed to say this election is an insult to their intelligence is the anarchists who refuse to vote. Enlightened individuals who don’t believe in the democratic process. Democracy has been called a system based on the consent of the governed, in reality, it is a system based on majority rules. When 50+% of the population doesn’t vote but still get harassed by the government, they are not consenting but are still being governed. As such the act is immoral.
50+% of the population does NOT consent to be governed. In 2008 or 2012 when Obama was elected, only 21% of people in the US voted for him. 19% voted for someone else and 60% did NOT VOTE. The Democratic process is majority rule of the consenting governed.
Non-Arguments
Had fun with a Trump supporter on facebook. I posed the argument that Trump and Clinton are equally Authoritarian... he responded with questioning my sexuality. Because I claimed that he made a non-argument, he assumed it must be true because I didn’t deny it.
There was nothing to deny. The instant you make an argument insulting the person who made the original query, the original argument, you have lost credibility. You attack the argument, not the person. If you want an intelligent debate, please think about the other person’s argument, ask questions and offer counterpoints, but never attack the person making the argument.
Trump’s Taxes
First off, I’d like to start off by reminding anyone who may read this, Taxation is Theft/Extortion. It is enforced by the threat of physical force. When Trump says he is smart to avoid taxes, he isn’t wrong. But he is a hypocrite.
Trump says he’s smart for avoiding taxes, but he wants to tax the citizens of America and he wants to deport illegal immigrants because they don’t take part in paying taxes or Social Security.
I commend him for avoiding extortion, but he is a hypocrite at the end of the day for running for a position where he would tax other people. If he wants to be completely smart, he should endorse the Libertarian position on taxes and offer to eliminate the IRS and get rid of taxes. But he won’t do that.
