When Fighting Monsters…

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork, being shared by an acquaintance, and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“I’ve been separated from my parents!”
“Because of Trump’s Nazi border policy, right?”
“No, they got caught with a plastic straw!”

My Commentary: Well, that’s awkward…

“Border Control” and “Gun Control” Crowd Share Same Flawed, Authoritarian Logic

I originally posted the following information and commentary onto my Facebook wall…

Two Statist Peas in a Pod:

(Larken Rose) It’s amazing how much the “closed border” crowd has in common with the “gun control” crowd, in how they think, in how they feel, and in how they talk.

My Commentary: Peel away the outer layers of the “arguments” being used to promote “closed borders” and “gun control” to discover the same exact violent ideology underlying them both.

Government is the Institutionalization of Bullying, Coercion, and Non-Consensual Relations

As I scrolled through my Facebook memories, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “The Great Work,” which I originally posted to my own wall in November of 2016, and decidedly re-shared it, while adding a commentary…

“Maybe its time to question a system that allows millions of people to dominate millions of other people with a flick of a pen.” – Carey Wedler

My Commentary: Bullying, coercion, and non-consensual relations are duly considered criminal… UNLESS, of course, these sociopathic behaviors are properly laundered through the machinations of the Great and Almighty State!

(Claire Bernish) Without laws to guide them, police around the country have begun collecting people’s DNA — even when no crime has been committed — using private labs which then store the genetic material for unknown periods to make identification simple in the event a crime is committed in the future.

Known generally as “stop and spit,” the practice of requesting the DNA of adults and juveniles during routine traffic stops and even basic interactions with police, ProPublica reports, is not only wholly unregulated and unlegislated, it is alarmingly common.

My Commentary: More immoral warrantless searches that we’re forced to fund, because pre-crime…

Know Thy Enemy!

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Vote 4 Nobody, Nobody Tells the Truth,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"If you have the power to hit people over the head whenever you want, you don't have to trouble yourself too much figuring out what they think is going on, and therefore, generally speaking, you don't. Hence the sure-fire way to simplify social arrangements, to ignore the incredibly complex play of perspectives, passions, insights, desires, and mutual understandings that human life is really made of, is to make a rule and threaten to attack anyone who breaks it. This is why violence has always been the favored recourse of the stupid: it is the one form of stupidity to which it is amost impossible to come up with an intelligent response. It is also of course the basis of the State." - David Graeber

It is also of course the basis of the State.” – David Graeber

My Commentary: “Know thy enemy.”
