As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “The Mad Statist,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“The fatal attraction of government is that it allows busybodies to impose decisions on others without paying any price themselves.” – Thomas Sowell
My Commentary: Control-freaks cling to their superior numbers to enforce their inferior beliefs…
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following quote, being shared by an acquaintance, and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“Anarchists relationship with the state is akin to an arranged marriage. We didn’t want any part of it, yet here we are. Even worse, our spouse is the fat, Neanderthalic, useless, abusive dirtbag who chases brown kids off the lawn with a broom. Unfortunately we can’t run because they can find us anywhere, can access our bank account and have superior firepower.
This is why we cheat every chance we get with that sexy mistress known as freedom. Any creative way to circumvent the rules of this relationship are as euphoric as the blossoming of a new love affair after years of misery, and we will continue to do so until we eventually find a way to get rid of it once and for all.
Statists are the ones with Stockholm syndrome that embrace this relationship. Just like many victims, they don’t want to listen to our advice because they’re comfortable and complacent. These are the friends we generally avoid because we dislike their spouse.
Libertarianism is simply the spouse loving you back but still not allowing you to leave the house unsupervised.
That’s why it’s said ‘Anarchy is for lovers’. ”

My Commentary: Anarchy is for Lovers! Consensual Interaction is the currency of co-existence! Peace Love and Anarchy!
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following quote, being shared by an acquaintance, and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“I don’t trust the average person to make his own choices. I therefore want everyone subjugating his own judgment to that of an external law-making authority. But that authority can’t just be arbitrary and unlimited, so I want the common people–who themselves can’t be trusted–to choose other people to be the authority. That way all the people who would behave like violent, wild animals can select the best and brightest among them to force the rest to behave in a proper manner. Because while I don’t trust the average person to run his own life, I do trust him to choose someone to run everyone else’s life. Because I am a statist. And I haven’t gotten around to questioning all the patently insane bullshit I was taught when growing up.”

My Commentary: Doublethink much?
The following debate originally took place on my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “Free Thought Project“…
Rayn:
“When someone calls you a conspiracy theorist, what they are really saying is they are too lazy to do their own research & we should just trust the government and media to tell us the truth.” – Immortal Technique
Rayn: Bring it on!
Sam B.: No, but anyone who says this in any seriousness is claiming that failing to support their unsubstantiated claim makes you a sheep, and that the only real research is watching conspiracy YouTube videos and lurking on Infowars.
Rayn: That’s a nice straw man you’ve got there. Yet, I never made any such claim, nor have I made any unsubstantiated conspiracy theory claims, for that matter. I also don’t watch “conspiracy YouTube videos,” nor do I lurk in InfoWars. Sorry I don’t fit into your neat little box of dismissal. Meanwhile, anyone’s failure to support their claim that I’m a “conspiracy theorist” makes them a lemming.
Genaire: Several credible news outlets have YouTube videos, that have done credible journalism to expose the fraud which was the Iraq war, the fraud in which was the Libyan invasion and the list goes on and on.
Rayn: I remember when a bunch of lemmings attacked me as a “conspiracy theorist” over my views about the police…

As I scrolled through my Facebook memories, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Vote 4 Nobody, Nobody Tells the Truth,” which I originally posted to my wall in June of 2016, and decidedly re-shared it to the wall of family, while adding a commentary…
“Politics is the entertainment division of the military industrial complex.” – Frank Zappamus
My Commentary: Some words of wisdom from Zappa…
