Thanks. I've gotten sick of how the vibe here is allegedly anti government but every time I turn around someone is putting right wing news script BS into my comments and feed. Time to choose violence.
The right people will stick around. I'm not worried about my follower count.
Yeah, the right was a nice refuge for me for a while after October 7, but the weird shit on that side has gotten extreme too. I’m embracing being politically homeless. Camp Distrust The Government is still small, I guess 🤷♀️
Look up agorism, we might be a home for you.
I lean right though 🤷♀️ on libertarianism
I used to. Then 2 points pushed me farther.
1. Historically every government grows until it collapses in on itself. Any limited government today is just a monster waiting to grow up and be a massive government for our children and grandchildren.
2. Basically think of it like informed consent from #metoo but applied to all human interactions. All governments continuously use force to get compliance from unwilling citizens which is immoral. You can't do a moral good by giving to charity if your only means of getting that money is armed robbery.
It’s a good point
It was a long journey and one comment didn't do it for me either.
Nostr has the highest per capita agorists of any place I know of. Watch and see them speak for themselves for a while. Who is kinder in interactions? Who holds positions that seem most rational and coherent to you?
Having true confidence I'm right gives me the ability to not be impatient or try to force my beliefs on you or anyone else. You'll see it when you are ready if you are ready some day.
There is an unfortunate amount of naïveté in utopian Libertarianism, as if the absence of the state isn’t simply an invitation for authoritarians to roll in and conquer them.
Precisely. Humans will always compose a heirachy. There is no liberty without order. How the order is implemented is important for liberty.
I agree with this. It will mean more personal responsibility. It will not be a utopia that guarantees you happiness.
It is a demand that the base of societies interaction starts with consent instead of the threat of violence. It is the belief that a society not built on a foundation of violence is morally superior to one that is.
