Statism is a Cult

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

"Statists be all, 'Sit your black ass in the back!,' 'Stand your black ass up!'"

“Statists be all, ‘Sit your black ass in the back!,’ ‘Stand your black ass up!'”

My Commentary: Statism is a cult…

As Long as You Have a Master, You Are Not Free!

As I scrolled through some Facebook pages, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Campaign For a Longer Leash and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

As long as you have a master, you are not free

As long as you have a master, you are not free

My Commentary: Pssst… spread the word.

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.”

Don’t Like Corporations? Well, Guess What? Governments Are Responsible for Legally Creating Them!

The following debate originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “V is for Voluntary”…

Rayn:

“Democide: if you support government, you’ve probably never heard of this.”

“Democide: if you support government, you’ve probably never heard of this.”

Daniel F.: And when corporations essentially have all the power of governments, what’s the difference?

Rayn: So, you’re telling me that you STILL haven’t realized that governments are the ones responsible for “legally” CREATING these “power[ful]” corporations you speak of? LOL!

Either way, both of these legal fictions essentially function as protective Straw-men, by LIMITING THE PERSONAL LIABILITY of those humans who operate them, while maximizing their personal profitability! But, alas, you’re missing the point of this post…

Did you even take a moment to notice the comment that originally came with this picture before posting your response to it? It says, “Statists be like, ‘but corporations are evil’.” In other words, your Red herring fallacy of a response is such a predictably off-topic digression, it might as well have been pre-programmed into you by an outside influence. As it stands, I view it as your means of quickly eliminating the cognitive dissonance you experienced when you attempted to reconcile your active support of Statism with the fact that it is WELL-ESTABLISHED as the number one murderer of human beings around the globe for the last century.

"Governments murdered 262,000,000 disarmed civilians in the 20th century. Anti-Statism is a life saver." (Artwork originally located here, where it was posted by the Facebook page, "Bastiat Institute")

I would suggest you engage in some deeply Critical thinking about the topic of hundreds of millions being murdered by their own governments, aka “Democide” and you’ll soon find yourself completely out of excuses for supporting the State, and might even feel ashamed that you ever even remotely consented to such an abominable system of coercion, exploitation and violence against your fellow man.

Otherwise, simply ignore me as a “lunatic fringe,” and keep on voting harder for more of that “necessary” evil (the lesser of two, of course) to keep you feeling safe and secure in your person. If that’s the case, then I wish you well in your journey, and hope that you are able to find some semblance of comfort in being “ruled” by an “elect”-caste of sociopathic, morally-inferior “betters.”

In the words of Samuel Adams:

“Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”

…With a Capital “G”

I originally posted the following video and statement onto my Facebook wall…

You’re “Christian”? “Jewish”? “Muslim”? “Atheist”? Hmmm… How can that be, when you so faithfully believe in, practice, and even proselytize for, your personal Lord and Savior, Godvernment, just like a loyal Statheist?

Capital G:

“I pushed the button and elected him to office and, uh
He pushed the button and he dropped the bomb
You pushed the button and could watch it on the television
Those motherfuckers didn’t last too long

I’m sick of hearing ’bout the ‘have’s’ and ‘have not’s’
Have some personal accountability
The biggest problem with the way that we’ve been doing things is
The more we let you have the less that I’ll be keeping for me

Well, I used to stand for something
Now, I’m on my hands and knees
Trading in my god for this one
And he signs his name with a capital G

Don’t give a shit about the temperature in Guatemala
Don’t really see what all the fuss is about
Ain’t gonna worry ’bout no future generations and, uh
And, I’m sure somebody’s gonna figure it out

Don’t try to tell me that some power can corrupt a person
You haven’t had enough to know what its like
You’re only angry ‘cuz you wish you were in my position
Now nod your head because you know that I’m right… alright!

Well I used to stand for something
But, forgot what that could be
There’s a lot of me inside you
Maybe you’re afraid to see

Well, I used to stand for something
Now, I’m on my hands and knees
Trading in my god for this one
And he signs his name with a capital G”
