The following correspondence originally took place here, upon the Facebook page, “Young Americans for Liberty“…
(replies from all third parties have been omitted for clarity)
Young Americans for Liberty:
“Every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all.” – Frederic Bastiat
Rayn: A non-sequitur logical fallacy, to be sure.
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “The Monopoly on Force,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“Statism is the utopian ideal that just right amount of violence used by just the right amount of people in just the right way can perfect society.” – Keith Hamburger
My Commentary: Come again, Statheist? Did you really just call anarchy a “naive,” “utopian” ideal? With a straight face, and not a hint of irony, too? Ha!
At least anarchy is the natural-borne state of humanity, and doesn’t require the enactment of force upon the innocent and the peaceful, nor a monopoly on violence in order to apply to society, much unlike the Statist cult religion you have so much mindless, unwavering faith in! As a matter of fact, it takes the daily, relentless, gratuitous violence of the genocidal death-system you hold so dear to initiate aggression against, and subdue, a stateless society into the soul-crushing subjugation you whole-heartedly worship!
Keep petitioning your Lord and Savior, Big Government, in prayer, Cult Material! Waste your time voting, and call your congressman, begging for “change”! Humanity needs just a few more laws, passed by the professionally-lying, sociopathic, criminal-minded, morally-bankrupt pathocrats you bow to, and we’ll finally live in peaceful bliss! 🙂
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “TRUTHgasm,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“TO BE GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so.
It is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished.
It is, under pretext of ‘public utility,’ and in the name of ‘the general interest,’ to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, ROBBED:
Then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, villified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed.
And to crown it all, it is to then be mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored.
THAT IS GOVERNMENT; THAT IS ITS JUSTICE; THAT IS ITS MORALITY.”
My Commentary: I’ve shared this quote previously, but this time, I’ll note that these words might appear to be recent, but they were actually written by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in 1851!
As you can see, Truth transcends time!
(note: though I previously shared a shorter version of this quote in February of 2013, within my post, “To Be Governed…,” I still felt compelled to offer up an alternative commentary when I saw it again, due to the inspiring nature of these words)
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Libertarian Rant,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“Hates monopolies… Loves Government”
My Commentary: Good thinking, Harry Potter. *face palm*
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following graphic here, being shared by the page, “Statism Is A Cult,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
My Commentary: Just a couple of hundred million more mass murders to go, and the governments of the world will finally achieve societal bliss!
