50 Shades of Tyranny

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Liberty Outlook,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"I will act violently on peaceful people to acquire... Total Socialism: energy, clothing, housing, food Modern Liberalism: universal healthcare Modern Conservatism: unemployment insurance, retirement insurance, limited healthcare (for seniors and poor), limited housing, food, energy (for the poor - 'safety net'), education Classical Liberalism: fire protection, roads Minarchism: police, military, courts Anarchy: I'm not willing to act violently on peaceful people. I will seek to acquire desired services without aggression through voluntary relationships."

“I will act violently on peaceful people to acquire…
Total Socialism: energy, clothing, housing, food
Modern Liberalism: universal healthcare
Modern Conservatism: unemployment insurance, retirement insurance, limited healthcare (for seniors and poor), limited housing, food, energy (for the poor – ‘safety net’), education
Classical Liberalism: fire protection, roads
Minarchism: police, military, courts
Anarchy: I’m not willing to act violently on peaceful people. I will seek to acquire desired services without aggression through voluntary relationships.”

My Commentary: 50 Shades of Tyranny. Enter through the narrow gate, and embrace the Law of Liberty.

Never Forget American Abuses at Abu Ghraib

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted a graphic being shared by the page, “The Abolitionist Movement“…

Rayn:

"Taxes are the price we pay to live in a civilized society"

“Taxes are the price we pay to live in a civilized society”

Stephen K.: What is happening in these photos, I have no idea.

Rayn: No? These images represent just a few of the many photos available to the public, showing American soldiers “just doing their job” by abusing and torturing detainees at Abu Ghraib prison, and happily posing with the dead body of one of their murder victims, Manadel al-Jamadi. This is a part of the U.S. government’s “War on Terror,” and it is, of course, a tax-payer funded operation. Ironically, we are supposed to believe that this sort of State-sponsored terrorism not only protects us from “the terrorists,” but that the tax-dollars pilfered from us all to fund these crimes against humanity (and other such horrors that almost no American has ever consented to), actually represent “our fair share,” as well as “the price we pay for a *civilized* society.” In other words, I’m supposed to accept these sorts of barbaric, criminal “services” because my tax dollars also go towards Muh Roads, muh schools, muh “law and order,” Muh Borders, and muh “aid for the poor.”

Complacency is Complicity!

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Freedom and Liberty for All,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"Anti-war protests 1966 Anti-war protests 2016"

“Anti-war protest 1966
Anti-war protest 2016″

My Commentary: Complacency is complicity.

Exercising “Freedom of Association” in Response to Open Celebration of Crimes Against Peace

The following debate originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I shared my artwork, “Spreading Democracy

Rayn: Are you doing your part to help spread democracy, tax-serf?

"I'm doing my part to help spread democracy! ARE YOU?" (by Rayn)

“I’m doing my part to help spread democracy! ARE YOU?”
(Artwork by Rayn)

Morgan S.: HAHAHAHA we did tooo.

Morgan S.: aint nothing better then watcvhing a two thousand pound JDAM take out those donkey fuckers that were just shooting at us from a building. KAA-BOOOOMMMMM. Say hello to Allah you fuckers.

Morgan S.Marine Hornet Drops 2,000 Pound JDAM Missile on Terrorist Target:

Rayn: Perhaps you missed the point, Morgan, but the artwork I shared above is completely ANTI-WAR in nature, and derides the terrorism of spreading “democracy” with bombs. From now on, please use your *own* Facebook wall to eagerly and gleefully celebrate the American government’s Crimes against peace, their imperialist occupation policies, and your hatred towards Muslims, rather than doing so upon mine. I am not even slightly interested in reading such comments, and am annoyed and disappointed to read yours, here. And, now that I have made myself explicitly clear, if you continue to exercise such “freedom of speech” on my wall, I will respond by exercising my “freedom of association.” Consider this your first and final warning. I can only hope that you understand my request, and will show it the full respect it deserves, so that we can continue to be friends on Facebook without issue. And, please try not to take exception, cousin, because many others wouldn’t even receive a warning. I would simply take action, instead, with the “unfriend” button. Thanx for your time.

Anke M.: Such BS! Genaire you need to step away from these right wing nut sites, papers and FOX! Jesus, wTF is wrong with you?

Genaire: ? Just sharing the info.

Anke M.: Honey, that’s not information, that’s nasty lies and propaganda!

Genaire: It really isn’t. I’ve seen this from multiple sources and have witnessed it first hand with the lowering of the requirements it took to become a police officer.

Genaire: Question Anke. The only true media in your mind is liberal media? And the Washington Times becomes a right wing but site to you? Lol (Click Here to Continue Reading This Post)
