The Average Statist Constantly Flip-Flops, and Only Places Any Major Passion and Conviction into Horizontal Enforcement of Their More Freedom-Minded Peers

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

"'This is a REVOLUTION. A revolution of the PEOPLE. No long are we going to bow down to the 15 and the two-party syste...' Bernie Sanders endorses Hillary Clinton"

“‘This is a REVOLUTION. A revolution of the PEOPLE. No long are we going to bow down to the 15 and the two-party syste…’
Bernie Sanders endorses Hillary Clinton”

My Commentary: Yup… That’s about the exact level of passion and conviction that guides the average Statist… *sigh*

You should see how much effort they put into HORIZONTAL ENFORCEMENT of those who advocate for human self-ownership over life-long enslavement within this corrupt “legal” system, though! Now, THAT’S where their dedication really shines through! They have perfected the art of defeatism and cowardice!

“Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” – Frederick Douglass

Without a Hint of Irony, Statists Believe “Freedom is Slavery”

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

“It seems strange that any thinking human being would not be naturally open and receptive to the idea that he owns himself and should be in charge of his own life, unhindered by any human ‘authority.’ However, the average person who hears such a message often lashes out at the messenger, insists that actual freedom, a world without masters and subjects, would mean chaos and destruction, and then vehemently advocates the continued enslavement of all of mankind, including himself.” – Larken Rose

My Commentary: Debate a Statist about government, and you’ll soon discover that they truly believe “FREEDOM IS SLAVERY.”

Meditating on American Contempt for Liberty

The following correspondence originally took place here, upon the Facebook page of Walter E. Williams

Walter E. Williams:

“People who denounce the free market and voluntary exchange, and are for control and coercion, believe they have more intelligence and superior wisdom to the masses. What’s more, they believe they’ve been ordained to forcibly impose that wisdom on the rest of us. Of course, they have what they consider good reasons for doing so, but every tyrant that has ever existed has had what he believed were good reasons for restricting the liberty of others.” – Walter E. Williams
