The people donât live by it until it becomes voluntary to live under its rule. If you canât opt out then the âbeliefâ is nothing more than Stockholm syndrome.
Discussion
I... had not considered that đ
Why canât you opt out?
Because people with guns will throw you in a cage or shoot you
Just leave on a boat, nobody cares.
People shouldnât be forced to float around on a boat the rest of their lives to avoid governments that have a monopoly on violence (which is all of them).
What are you willing to give up to get what you want?
Iâm willing to give up mandatory theft and threat of violence for voluntary agreements and human cooperation.
That doesnât sound like you are willing to give up much.
I posted a while back about how freedom isnât free. However, the problem is that most people wrongfully think they are free and that government âauthorityâ is legitimate.
Yes, itâs all trade offs. Liberty for Security. Itâs a barter system.
You canât trade liberty for security. There is no security without liberty. And you canât gain liberty alone in this world. Which is why we try to wake people up to the lies. It doesnât help when you just say if you donât like it then leave. Why defend the slave masters? There are more of us than there are of them.
Then fight, those are the choices. Fight or flight.
If you canât opt out, then what makes people think the government will let you leave? They could easily prevent you from leaving. A lot of countries have done so in the past. All they have to do is make up a new law. They constantly violate the constitution and theyâve gone after non Americans living in other countries lmao just leave is the silliest argument. Where should I go? You canât even go through an airport without being molested đ
Youâre assuming you canât opt out, but I donât know if thatâs true. It comes down to trade offs and what you are willing to give up to opt out.
Iâm not assuming you canât opt out. Iâm saying that even opting out is permissioned.
Right. Everyone is going to have an opinion. I am saying âopt outâ until someone stop you, then get ready for the fight.
You canât really opt out. People have to tried to opt out and start their own civilizations. They find open farm land and live on their own then get raided by military. All territories have been claimed to be ruled by some state. They will never leave you alone because you claim to have opted out. If you give up citizenship and manage to flee, you will eventually be considered a tax resident in the new country you live in.
You want a land printer. Maybe the we get there with the bots we are building. đ
All forms of governance is a subset of religion that people subscribe to by either choice, force, and/or ignorance.
In places around the world religion of government is beyond strict. Through over taxation combined with unjust laws and a zealous passion for unrelenting buerocracy. They become an overt, or covert cast system built on slavery. Such as in the european union, or India.
Through governance, spiritual religion, and social traditions based on local customs and beliefs. What you see around the world is layers of control designed over millenias. To manipulate the human body, mind, and spirit into subserviance of those who have achieved dominance over others. They are those perceived as the alpha primates in our social groups. Exploiting a primal instinct that has evolved and still exists since humanity's conception.
True freedom in the form of actual free countries is not known to exist anywhere in the world. For they have yet to be created, or publically disclosed. Countries themselves are the playground for which all of these factors intermingle. To form nationalism over each of their local populations. Each with their own distinct shared layers of beliefs and social contracts for what is common acceptable behaviors.
If we are then to choose the lesser of all the evils, because the average human is not intelligent enough to recognize all of these layers of control. That are forever working in harmonic disharmony with each other as a planet. As well as collectively unable yet to enact any meaningful change on a larger scale by replacing this common way of life with a better system that actually works.
I then choose the USA. Even though taxes and class systems still exists here too.
For at least the social contracts and the documents that this country is founded upon. Even though they have been drastically eroded. Still enables me as the common man to defend myself righteously with firearms. While also giving me the ability to seek my own definition of personal freedom in the pursuit of happiness and speech.
Life is unfair. Until people as a species are able to increase our intelligence levels and collaborate together to discover more innovative solutions. We are all slaves of varying degrees to our chosen religions of governance.
So try your best to choose your religions wisely. Live in a location which allows you to have maximum freedom in an enslaved world. For even though it is challenging to save and change the world. One can find solice and freedom through being stoic. Facing the challenges of this harsh reality with peaceful grace and tenacious grit.
