The state’s greatest fear? A man who needs nothing from it. We are that man. That woman. That future.

I am not an anarchist, but there is deep truth in what you say. There have been many times in human -- and pre-human -- history when the more highly evolved separated themselves from the more primitive, and went their own way -- no longer saddled with the endless drag of lower minds, lower abilities, and the kinds of social structures such types demand. Seen in such a light, those who, today or tomorrow, successfully throw off their fiat/fractional reserve chains may truly represent an evolutionary turning point.
It is wild to me to listen to people that cling to government benefits. I have never understood what you expect government to do for you? When I got my first job after college I started a retirement fund for myself. I earned basically nothing so my contributions were pathetic, but it was a start. I added a basic medical plan when I could so that a serious accident would not financially ruin me. I’ve been self employed most of my working life so it just became the norm to plan and take care of myself and my family.
Why would you look to someone else to do your job for you?
The problem with benefits is how do you know who really needs them? You can’t just look at who is at a certain age - not everybody at age 60 needs help. In fact, if you do need help at age 60 there should be pretty damn good reason for it. You’ve had you whole life to plan for this. Things certainly happen and some people do need legitimate help, but how do you distinguish from the people that hit the casino every Friday night, or could not hold down a job, or consistently made bad decisions over their whole life that put them in a bad place at age 60?
Exactly what I mean!
when man turned to the government to provide from him we turned away from God, instead of praying to the lord and savior now people warship at the alter of SNAP and EBT. American politics clicked for me recently when I realized that the godless party of the democrats act the way they do because they have no moral base or knowledge of how tax money and federal funds are obtained. These people are the most entitled people on the planet. "Vote for me I will make everything free!" absolutely genius no way anything will go wrong with that
Expecting the government to do anything beneficial for you is futile.
