I could honestly care less. To sit on your hands and say “poor me” is a copout. To get up, stand tall and do something about your situation is what a man would do. No one is gonna take care of you but you - so if someone wants to live in a shack and eat grubs thats fine - and if they dont they will get off their ass and do something about it. j
Every man for himself, no schools, no fire depts, no hospitals, no police for murderers right? I respectfully disagree. j
Do those NEED to be government monopolies? You think those didn't exist prior to government? If you want to go it alone you can, if you want to organize in a community, you can. Just because you think government shoyld subsidize all of that doesn't give you the right to force everyone to fund them for you. You like some communism but talk shit about other communists? C'mon man, be consistent.
Well I would say protest and forcing systemic change falls under the umbrella of doing whatever the fuck it takes to better your situation. Sure, if it's just you in a shitty situation you're on your own but when you have strength in numbers you may as well band together and effect change for a whole group of people.
Yeah but I think the problem is that their energy is being channelled in the wrong direction. Labelling everything racism then going after racists (which ipso facto includes just about everybody) means they will be met with a lot of needless resistance. Whitey isn't the problem, it is government and banks/federal reserve and a plethora of manifestations of those two. And people have this ridiculous idea that their socialism will be able to just loot the wealthy and equalize things, well that isn't going to work. Once wealth starts to get looted, capital/resources will flee for a safe haven, that won't be good for anyone. You have to foster an environment that welcomes and attracts capital investment, not threatens to rob it.
Btw I agree if you are under duress you are justified in doing whatever it takes to restore your natural unrestrained state of being, but it has to be demonstrable. Just because a lot of bankers are Jewish doesn't mean I can start a race war against Jews and label everyone a Jew and demand all of them owe me something. Ya know? You can't fight phantoms. If someone is being held as a slave, we can know who is responsible for the injustice, it is demonstrable.
I agree that the way they're going about it isn't the best. They're alienating a lot of would be supporters by claiming there's only one right set of opinions about the subject and claiming anyone that doesn't follow them all down the line is either racist or enabling racism. Also I agree about trying to pillage billionaires through a wealth tax. It's only going to cause them to take all their money and leave the country. I think we do have a problem with corporations and wealthy people controlling far too much currency and using that to control the direction of the country through the use of the two party system. I don't see an easy solution to this aside from getting people to stop voting Democrat and Republican but I fear any replacement party will take the money when it becomes available to them.
and let's not forget about all the data social platforms collect of everything we post. i have not checked the veracity of these claims made by this gab.com ceo but he presents a very plausible scenario that in fact is already being played out in china big time. it makes one think.

I think this is where religion has a lot to answer for regarding poverty in a lot of places. Poor religious people are taught to just accept life and never question it. This is your lot and this is all you need. If it's hard then It's gods way of testing you. Just put up with it, do nothing and god will love you. Absolute cop-out in the highest degree.
Maybe a thousand years ago but these days, if you want to build a school you need tax paying citizens to fund it. In order to get that money from them you must have a govornment and a way of enforcing it. Otherwise there is no education and things can only get worse.
That isn't true at all, just an unfounded opinion. Why are some of you so convinced that people cannot function without a coercive government and forced taxation? It is a very bizarre cult.
You’re saying a police dept existed prior to government? A private police dept? To pay these things sounds suspiciously like taxes? And I’m pretty consistent - by the time that second cup of coffee hits me... j
Hate to get off topic too much although I do find it an interesting one. What happens when the Jones down on Maple dont pay their share? Let their home burn or no policing from The Bad People for them? I’m sure there are other examples. j
You do realise that if there wasn't forced taxation there would be no electricity on earth. There's be no oil or gas, no mass supplies of running water. We'd all be back in the stone age having to farm our own crops or die. And you wouldn't have guns to protect as they also wouldn't exist so you'd be left yourself a knife or a stick trying to fend off all the people that come to take your land, rape your wife and enslave your children. If that's what you really believe then you shouldn't be on here moaning about anything. You shouldnt have the means to because the power and the device you're using to do so we're produced by forced taxation.
When the population asking for change ISNT THE MAJORITY it won't happen. Do you not hear yourself. You can't change the laws and legislation we have lived by for generations. You either adapt and live by the standards we have set. Which in america are high. We have high standards. You adapt to live by those standards and hold your community's accountable or you simply get left the fuck out or left behind and die out. Its simple buddy. Im not being a dick im stating scientific facts
I'm sorry - without government It wouldn't be a tax it would be voluntary. If you want the service you can pay, if the one providing the service is no good, stop paying or pay anothet one that is cheaper or better. You seem to imply you need forced taxation for the things you mention, why?
