Democracy Violates Consent

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

“If John told you that you had to obey him or he would violate you, that would be wrong. Even if John claims that because he and his friends are in the majority, you must obey or be punished, that would still be wrong. Even Iif John and his friendsvie to have an institution work on their behalf and that you must obey its dictates or be punished, that would still be wrong. If you understand this basic concept then you understand that government neither has the legitimate or lawful right to violate you just because some people decided to vote for it.”

My Commentary: Your public education camp instructor might have taught you otherwise, but this is not how consent actually works.

Ending the Gun Control Debate

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

“If society is honest and historically accurate, the only question that has any relevance to the gun control debate is, ‘Do you trust those in government, now and forever in the future, to not take your life, liberty, or property through the force of government?’ If the answer to that question is ‘no,’ the gun control debate is over. – KrisAnne Hall, JD

My Commentary: Oh, I’m sorry. Did I break your concentration? I didn’t mean to do that. Please, continue. You were saying something about voluntaryists / anarchists / non-aggressionists being “naïve utopians”?

The Tyranny of Presidential ‘Executive Orders’

The presidential throne that Donald Trump currently sits upon was built, piece by piece, by the joint efforts of both the Democratic and Republican parties

No Mr. President, You Can’t Change the Constitution by Executive Order:

(Omar Jadwat) President Trump said this week that he is preparing an executive order to try to take away the citizenship guarantee in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which says that people born in the United States are United States citizens. On Tuesday, Sen. Lindsey Graham announced that he would introduce legislation with the same aim.

But the president cannot repeal part of the Constitution by executive order. And Congress cannot repeal it by simply passing a new bill. Amending the Constitution would require a two-thirds vote in both House and Senate, and also ratification by three-quarters of the states. The effort to erase the citizenship guarantee will never clear those hurdles — for very good reasons.

My Commentary: Wait a minute… With a *single* executive order, even the liberal hero, FDR, was able to force 100,000 Americans into concentration camps (also disenfranchising them from their homes and businesses, in the process). As far as the State is involved, there are no depths too low to sink!

American Tax Dollars Fund Mass-Scale Imperialism, Murder, Tyranny and Racism

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

“If there is even one homeless child in America, we have no room for illegal aliens a $700B military budget

My Commentary: Repeat after me: hating taxes is all about “hating the poor.” Meanwhile, slavishly acquiescing to a State-run extortion racket that, above all else, finances the imperialistic and racist “war on terror,” and the tyrannical and racist “war on drugs” is “progressive,” and “humanitarian.” Skillz!

(David Brennan) Saudi Arabia has announced it will punish online satire with jail sentences of up to five years, as the kingdom continues its crackdown on political dissent.

Saudi leaders are treading a fine line between societal reform and political repression, seeking to retain absolute power while modernizing the conservative nation.
