Why not just put every American in prison when they're born?
Why not just put every American in prison when they're born?
Weâre getting close to the end now. Can you feel it? I do. Itâs in the news, on the streets, and in your face every day. You canât tune it out anymore, even if you wanted to.
Where once there was civil debate in the court of public opinion, we now have censorship, monopoly, screaming, insults, demonization, and, finally, the use of force to silence the opposition. There is no turning back now. The political extremes are going to war, and you will be dragged into it even if you consider yourself apolitical.
There are great pivot points in history, and weâve arrived at one. The United States, ruptured by a thousand grievance groups, torn by shadowy agencies drunk on a gross excess of power, robbed blind by oligarchs and their treasonous henchmen and decimated by frivolous wars of choice, has finally come to a point where the end begins in earnest. The center isnât holding. Finding a center is no longer even conceivable. We are the schizophrenic nation, bound by no societal norms, constrained by no religion, with no shared sense of history, myth, language, art, philosophy, music, or culture, rushing toward an uncertain future fueled by nothing more than easy money, hubris, and sheer momentum.

@TheMadPirate @dcjogger @qt Corporations are created by the state to collect stealth taxes. Every tax of corporations is paid for by increased prices to the consumer. Republics are cartels run by the mob called Congress.
The US is the largest corporation in the world; a monopoly. There IS no corporate socialism. It is a tyranny of control through taxes and regulations.
Wow.
Americans are so enslaved that they think government agents are holy gods, but since the elites and the government are the same now, asking for government protection from businesses is like asking a thief to watch your house when you go on vacation.
FAA regulates airlines, but airplanes still fail.
SEC regulates stockbrokers, but markets still crash.
FDA regulates drugs, but drugs are still dangerous.
EPA regulates the environment, but the EPA pollutes.
The USSR was a Socialist utopia, but the Soviet Union was polluted.

Maybe the real reason there are laws against car repair is because car dealers lobby for them.
Maybe the real reason there are food stamps now is because food and banking corporations lobby for them.

Maybe the real reason tax filing is so difficult is that tax preparation corporations lobby for complicated tax forms.
Maybe the real reason there are laws against ridesharing is because taxi cab companies lobby for regulations against competition.
Maybe the real reason there are mandatory vaccine laws now is because pharmaceutical corporations lobby for them.

Maybe the real reason the US is a police state now is because private prison corporations lobby for it.
Maybe the real reason the US is a warmonger now is because defense corporations lobby for wars.
Maybe the real reason there are mandatory health and auto insurance laws now is because insurance companies lobby for them.
Maybe the real reason there are bailouts and subsidies is because corporations lobby for them.

The government takes away your freedom, but wonât protect you.
The way to deal with danger today is to do what worked in the past.
Government needs to be small and people need to take personal responsibility and embrace freedom.
Being dangerous is not in the best of companies.
The big difference between private business and tyranny is that you can boycott the free market, but the government forces you at gunpoint to do something or not do something.
Look not to the politicians; look to yourselves.
Liberty is always dangerous, but it is the safest thing we have.
What do we need government for anyway?
Everything the free market does is better than what government does.
Would you rather graduate from Harvard or the University of New Mexico? Would you rather own a Yugo or a BMW?
If a private association like the MPAA can regulate movies, why canât the private market regulate other things?
When the TSA fingers your asshole and pulls your cock, is the real purpose to protect you or to make you feel like a degraded slave?
When people smoke now, people just call the police on them, but people in the past either took some personal responsibility and ignored smokers, moved away from smokers, or asked smokers to go somewhere else. The problem with a police state is everyone now is either or a slave or a criminal. Who pays the taxes to pay for tyranny?
If smoking is dangerous, canât nonprofits raise funds to pay for educational campaigns that warn of the dangers of smoking instead of outlawing smoking?
Canât people use the BBB to verify if a business is good or not instead of forcing companies to pay fees to get a government business license?
Canât private charities funded by volunteer donations provide homeless shelters and soup kitchens instead of being at forced at the point of a gun by the government to pay taxes that fund welfare?
Canât people use guns to protect themselves instead of relying on the Gestapo?

Think.
Many Americans feel powerless to do anything about the expanding police state, but they can still fight back.
What if Americans just dropped out and stopped supporting US wars, debt, and tyranny?

@dcjogger this country's foundation is still a moral and beautiful ideal. That ideal is worth reviving, and even if it seems an impossible task, worth attempting to achieve.
I think the issue is how to do so in a modern age in which literally all forms of of life are different than the 1700's

The US used to be a moral, peaceful, and free country with a balanced budget. Now the USA is an immoral bankrupt warmongering police state. Saying nothing just seems wrong.
The US government is no longer legitimate.
http://www.newsandsentinel.com/uncategorized/2017/02/is-our-government-legitimate/
The USA is no longer a democracy. Why obey the law or pay taxes when Americans have no control over what laws are made or what the tax rate should be?
