Keep up the great work, Mike! I'm still incredibly busy and flying around all of N and S America for the next few weeks but hopefully soon we can do an Anarchast together! If not this month then next month for sure! Cheers
You think it would make sense to just have a video featuring talks both from advocates of voluntarism as well as from related ideologies such as libertarianism, minarchism, and non-volanturist anti-statism and just label it such that its meant to be showing you new ideas and opening minds rather than trying to sell a political idea.
I think when people think their being sold an idea they automatically put up mental barriers.
@sharperguy I don't think voluntaryism is that specific. It's not a full political theory, more of a tendency, people should be able to opt-in or out of things. For example voluntaryism could exist in a state or a stateless society. Anarchism with its many many variations isn't even that broad. Though libertarianism could be state or stateless, it's more philosophically developed than either anarchy or voluntaryism. Specificity is what I think is really needed. Terms get in the way.
@saffnpepa We are an educational movement based around the non-aggression principle. That peaceful people should have the right to do whatever they want to do as long as they do not infringe on others. We are against institutionalized coercion and pro-self ownership.
@shechaiyah Can you post a video directly to your channel, and then link it to this video? I will definitely keep my ears open as to if more people have this same problem. Thanks for the heads up!
@mikeshanklin I was sorta being silly, I was suggesting lens flares, but I think if you could find better transitions or something for your vid it would be a good idea. Also, even though your sectional is in remarkably good condition, I'd suggest a better backdrop.
A black and yellow back drop (top left corner is yellow, diagonally across from that would be the black) would be a great idea, seeing how it's the colors of voluntaryism.
@mikeshanklin You could try using this image as a backdrop:
tinyurl(dot)com/4xwqtt7 (the voluntaryism symbol)
or
tinyurl(dot)com/3e9z6yc (the diagonal colors I was talking about)
I'm not sure if you would want to stand in front of a blue or green screen doing it, or if it would be simpler to simply paint it on a big sheet of paper, or some other material. What do you think?
@TheNeodoxian This video really is intended for individuals speaking into the camera, to show real people talking about voluntaryism. I do ask that you include your face... maybe start a new youtube channel and upload it there if you don't want people to see you on your other channel (if that is even a concern). Peace and Freedom
I volunteer for the animals now ..., show the corruption there

Sure. I'm kind of a Luddite, but I'll figure it out.

Are you aware, our video cams are blocked from creating a video response? I keep trying and rebooting and rebooting, and nothing unblocks it.

@shechaiyah I am not sure what is wrong, I unblocked video responses, as I do on all my videos.

@mikeshanklin . Check to see if other people are having this problem. I'm happy to reply to you in a video, but I'm not being allowed to. :Grrrr:

@mikeshanklin I'm ready to say, I feel Youtube is BLOCKING video responses.

@shechaiyah Let me know if it will allow you to add a video response to my video from your video upload list.

Does the visual section of the video have to be the video maker talking? Could I have the audio playing to pictures instead of to a video of myself?
