Which Side Are You On?

As I scrolled through my Facebook memories, I discovered the following artwork, which I originally shared to my wall in July of 2014, in my post, “Critical Thinking Protects the Mind Against Acceptance of Tyranny,” and decidedly re-shared it, along with a new commentary…

My Original Commentary:

“It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.” – Albert Camus

Critical thinking!

My New Commentary: Damn shame that this has to be pointed out…

A Very Short Debate on a Full Gun Ban in America

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

Rayn:

“Liberals: Cops are shooting black people based on race.
Also Liberals: Only cops should have guns.
Republicans: Don’t question cops when they use force.
Also Republicans: The 2nd Amendment is because we can’t trust the government”

Sam B.You’re right. The cop shouldn’t have a gun either.

Rayn: But… without an army of domestic terrorists, funded by victim extortion, and operating under color of law, how exactly do you expect to disarm an entire population of innocent, peaceful human beings?

“The People” Simply Cannot Delegate to the Government Rights Which They Do Not Have

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

Government is Magic:

My Commentary: If government derives its power from “the people,” then they can only do those things which “the people” have the right to do… “The people” cannot delegate to the government rights which they do not have. This is bullet-proof logic, and yet, for the Statist, it simply does not compute, because they cannot accept the cold, hard truth that NO ONE HAS A RIGHT TO STEAL, OR INITIATE VIOLENCE against others…

“Understand then all of you, especially the young, that to want to impose an imaginary state of government on others by violence is not only a vulgar superstition, but even a criminal work. Understand that this work, far from assuring the well-being of humanity is only a lie, a more or less unconscious hypocrisy, camouflaging the lowest passions we possess.”
– Leo Tolstoy, “The Law of Love and the Law of Violence” (1908)

The “Logic” of the Average Statist Has All the Depth and Consistency of a Puddle

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Government Does Not Exist,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"You don't like it? Then, move to another plantation."

“You don’t like it? Then, move to another plantation!”

My Commentary: The “logic” of the average Statist… has all of the depth and consistency of a puddle.

Patriotism is Cultism

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

"Patriotism is an immoral feeling because, instead of confessing himself a son of God... or even a fee man guided by his own reason, each man, under the influence of patriotism confesses himself the son of his fatherland and the slave of his government, and commits actions contrary to his reason and conscience." - Leo Tolstoy

“Patriotism is an immoral feeling because, instead of confessing himself a son of God… or even a free man guided by his own reason, each man, under the influence of patriotism confesses himself the son of his fatherland and the slave of his government, and commits actions contrary to his reason and conscience.” – Leo Tolstoy

My Commentary: Statism is a cult!
