I Never Hear the Word “Escape” Without a Quicker Blood…

I originally posted the following information and commentary onto my Facebook wall…

The Right to Ignore the State:
https://www.libertarianism.org/publications/essays/right-ignore-state

(Herbert SpencerThe Right to Voluntary Outlawry: As a corollary to the proposition that all institutions must be subordinated to the law of equal freedom, we cannot choose but admit the right of the citizen to adopt a condition of voluntary outlawry. If every man has freedom to do all that he wills, provided he infringes not the equal freedom of any other man, then he is free to drop connection with the state — to relinquish its protection, and to refuse paying toward its support. It is self-evident that in so behaving he in no way trenches upon the liberty of others; for his position is a passive one; and whilst passive he cannot become an aggressor.

Without a quicker blood
A sudden expectation
A flying attitude!” – Emily Dickinson

Something Tells Me We’re Not in America, Anymore…

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

My Commentary: “Something tells me we’re not in America, anymore.”

Discussing Thomas Paine, the Liberty-Lover!

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Thomas Paine, the Liberty-Lover!“…

Rayn:

Thomas Paine’s FB Page: “Thomas Paine needs no monument made by hands; he has erected a monument in the hearts of all lovers of liberty.” President Andrew Jackson

This TRUE “Founder” wrote “Common Sense” (the inspiration for the “Declaration of Independence”), is considered the “Father of the American Revolution,” argued for the EQUAL rights of WOMEN, and was a SLAVERY ABOLITIONIST! Check into Paine, and you will NEVER AGAIN allow a single immoral individual to tell you that you can’t SH!T ALL OVER the memory and reputation of the other so-called “Founding Fathers” for their disgusting white supremacism, male chauvinism, and slave ownership! NEVER ACCEPT the cowardly, illogical, disingenuous and collectivist argument that you are looking at the despicable deeds of these revolution-hijackers through a “lofty,” “modern day understanding” of what actually ALWAYS HAS BEEN, and ALWAYS WILL BE RIGHT! Any sheep that would say such a thing only seeks to reduce their own cognitive dissonance at the expense of YOUR SOUL – bidding for your silence, just as those of their ilk ALSO did BACK in the days of Paine, TOO!

Alison K.: Pardon my language…but FUCK YEAH!

Discussing Silence in the Face of Tyranny As the Answer of a Slave

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Silence in the Face of Tyranny is the Answer of a Slave“…

Rayn: Silence? “That is a slave’s answer!

“If You’re Afraid to Speak Out Against Tyranny, You Are ALREADY A SLAVE”

Renat S.: What about stoicism?

Renat S.: (i didn’t say i am a part of it)

Rayn: Being “afraid to speak” isn’t stoicism, as far as I can tell. 🙂

Renat S.: being afraid isn’t always the only reason of silence

RaynAbsolutely. The statement in the above graphic is simply an “if-then” logic clause. It pertains only to situations of silence based on fear. In the reality outside of the exclusionary “if” referenced here, there are many other reasons for not speaking. Some are philosophical, such as the stoicism you previously mentioned, while others are physical, as is the case with deaf mutes. 🙂

Renat S.: indeed
