OMG!!!
I rarely meet People who know who he is, much less have read any of his writings, and YES, that is a very good read....
Have you read Vattels The Law of Nations: Or, Principles of the Law of Nature Applied to the Conduct and Affairs of Nations and Sovereigns??
I've read all five books....
Oh, and how about the Catechism of the U.S. Constitution???
And S.A. Steeles The South was Right???
or another might be Republic of Republics???
We have the entire World of solid knowledge at our fingertips, and just look at our society trying to figure put which toilet they should use....
It's absolutely shameful....
Thanks for the reading suggestions. It's been a long time since I've delved into Ancap literature and my memory is fuzzy on what I've read.
Some of my reading included: Hayek, Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson, Hans Hermann Hoppe's Democracy The God That Failed. People need to learn that Democracy is poison.
Stefan Molyneux was a big influence on me in my early exploration of Anarchism, but I ended up not agreeing with his deontological approach. I don't think natural rights exist, though I did for a long time. So I'm on the side of David Friedman's consequentialist take. As George Carlin said:
“Boy everyone in this country is running around yammering about their fucking rights. "I have a right, you have no right, we have a right."
I think rights were a nice narrative weapon or tool to use in our quest for freedom, but now people are comfortable and complacent. Now everyone has a right to use whatever bathroom. As you said, this is how far we've fallen.
I will say the reason we have any freedom at all is because of our culture and our culture was influenced by the idea of rights. But I like to be specific and not pretend something actually exists because we get into trouble that way with dumb people believing in positive rights which leads us right back to Communism. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
A big part of my political views comes from just being a big history and philosophy buff. I'm amazed historians can be left leaning, as many are.
Well.
A self admitted idiot of a wise man (who was a prosecuting attorney for 20 years and president of local county Bar association) once told me, I guess, 8 years ago now.
(In regards to my "unique" political views and individual beliefs)
"That's all fine and dandy.
But do you want to make a point or do you actually want to make things happen?"
And
Somewhere around the same time -
"Your mad because you are just now finding out that you dont have to be smart to get things done, you just have to not be stupid. Think about that."
So. Anyway point of this being. To everyone here.
Get involved the right way. Don't be a little right wing snowflake with your libertarian views splitting hairs about anarchy and a free market and etc.
The laws and politics have a 250ish year ebb and flow behind them that you have to catch up on first. Sheesh just look up union history and employment law for example.
Point being. Study politics, history, law, get involved locally and start doing stuff.
It's the best thing, our state/federal structure.
The true Achilles heel against a tyranical government is always present in our system but it relies on a willing and competent people to enact the procedures necessary.
The "off" button to this shit starts at your city.
I'm not disagreeing with you. I certainly vote and I voted for Trump, who I think decided to destroy the system from within using "accelerationism" as his strategy.
Many Anarchists think the system will destroy itself so they're fine making it happen faster and Trump did that with "Warp Speed".
You'd be surprised how epic the scale of corruption is at a state level, even in little ol NH. We have certain laws in our books that make NH a great money laundering state, similar to Ukraine. So we have $100s of millions being laundered through here for massive cartels and politicians throughout the country. Our judges are bought and paid for to look the other way. Our governors are selected. We absolutely voted for Trump over Biden, but we have Dominion.
Biden got 5th place in the primaries here. NH LOVES populist candidates on the left and right. Then Biden smoked Trump in the general even though he had no ground game and no enthusiasm. How Biden did WAY better than Hillary Clinton in NH makes No. Fucking. Sense.
For sure, and I'm 100% with you.
I'm just wanting to use this as springboard for other readers on this site.
For a long time and still I have unique political views and a fairly well assessed world view. But also sat on it and just complained when it was a relevant to a conversation.
I am in aggreance with a lot of the philosophy and values behind what you are putting down but my sentiment can be best described as
Sometimes we have to play the actual game, fuck around and find out a little. In relation life. Which it seems to me you have already done this, what concerns me is like the other 80% of readers on the site who are absorbing and learning all of these things and doing nothing.
What the corruption loves best is for everything to be typical and routine.
What they hate the most is new idiots in the town hall blabbing about some irrelevant topic and sniffing around - exhibit A look how flustered school boards are getting even about the gay erotic material.
The parents are sniffing around and putting the slackers to work and that's what they hate the most. Most people in some hierarchy of public admin thar have influence or authority in any capacity love to maximize how much they are able to weird that influence or authority for their own personal gain while doing the least amount of public good or work. It's like quiet quitting. Except it's always been like this at least for as long as I've been alive that I can tell.
Literally just getting involved in local town halls and asking what you can do to help the community, what projects are taking place, what is happening- just being aware and involved puts them to work and the bad ones hate a bunch of new residents etc coming in and asking how they can improve things when the bad ones were content utilizing their influence to enrich themselves and do nothing at all.
Everyone here should be asking how to help their community and how to get involved, not to necessarily be righteous, but to make their immediate elected officials get off there fucking ass. Shine a light on them, everyone would be surprised.
It's literally the single most antagonistic and simple thing to do to begin seeing how fucked shit is - just try to do good things for your community and get involved. Receiving push back? Interesting. Why? Because you local government is full of lazy corrupt covksuckers and its up to you to force them to perform work.
And everyone can do it. Whether your a cashier, trade, white-collar, whatever. Everyone can do it but no one does. And that's that they love.
The easiest way to see how shit really is to be active and not passive within your local government. But who will?
We have a huge online community but we need more physical communities.
Again, like my old mentor said
You don't have to be smart to get things done you just have to not be stupid.
Stefan Molyneux, let me guess, he left out the key part that says that Anarchy is a system that has no leader, or a system where everyone is vying for the position of Leader....
""Rights""....
Yeah, it's a thing, and we all have problems finding the median between Rights and Privileges....
We do in fact have ""Rights"", odd as it sounds, but we can only call them ""Rights"" due to not having a better word to describe them....
On the other side of the same palm, not the opposing side of the hand, we have ""Liberties"", where ""Rights"" make it so we may open a business of our choosing, say a Bomb Making business, our ""Liberties"" make it so we are Clothed, Housed, Fed, Watered, and other things with the expense carried by the Business and not ourselves....
""Rights"" would be the Thumb side of the hand, whereas ""Liberties"" would be the little finger side of the hand....
It's a really weird world we live in, but we do what we can to Comprehend it....
