Freedom Is Positive & Obtainable - It Starts With You Opting Out Of Statism

[mannzymunster]

how dose one opt out?

[StateExempt]

The only difference between the state and the mafia is how people react to the crimes of each.

“The masses have never thirsted after truth. Whoever can supply them with comfortable illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.” Gustave Le Bon We are free, truly free, when we don't need to rent our arms to anybody in order to be able to lift a piece of bread to our mouths. ~Ricardo Flores Magon, speech, 31 May 1914 Its tuff to be positive when there are so many blind people. Thanks for your encouragement. Please vote Ron Paul 2012.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because Law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. Thomas Jefferson Freedom is that instant between when someone tells you to do something and when you decide how to respond. ~Jeffrey Borenstein

It all started when we started the idea of globalism and Capitolism, deregulating banking, letting China take over our country, ie Wal Mart came into small communities and ran everyone out of their business. We dont have small business any more, the American dream is dead when you cant own your own business. No one can compete with these Corporations; they make billions of dollars, give CEO's millions in bonus, while we cant even get health care.

[PyroPortrayal]

Really nice video. Can you suggest any movies to watch or books to read?

[PestControl02]

well done.

I sold my LLC last October...after I cancelled my cable, paid off and destroyed my credit cards. I stopped voting in the fixed elections. I went from 4 vehicles & 2 houses down to 1 car & a 2 bedroom apartment.

I now work for a not for profit company that takes care of sick children.

I opt out.

Somebody will own violence, regardless. Without a strong arm mediator or strong community value system, it's just a matter of who's violence is better. Think about how criminal enterprise works, and yet those involved are still under some protection by the state, i.e if you're murdered in drug related crime the government will still try to find your murderer. Crime & black market are the only things that act outside of the state and any player must always be prepared to deal with violence.

[PluralOfEverything]

@JizzonTheDark That sounds like an excuse to remain complacent and accept government thuggery. "Someone will always own me, so it might as well be the people who pretend to be on my side." Stop thinking like a slave.

[JizzonTheDark]

@PluralOfEverything "Stop thinking like a slave."

Haha, the only thing worse than being a slave is being in denial about your servitude. I'm about as far off the gov't grid as one can get. I got out a long time ago and live very well, so don't presume on my behalf. You miss what I'm saying entirely. I despise government, but to pretend that violence would just go away if the state stopped using force is just naive and nonsensical. All people need food, water, and Protection to survive.

[PluralOfEverything]

@JizzonTheDark Then your comment was completely pointless. The violence that currently exists outside of the government would not likely increase in the absence of government because government does not prevent crimes from happening. I would become no more violent if the government disappeared tomorrow because I don't want to hurt people. Most people are like that. There would be no more police or military violence, which means there would be a great deal more peace overall.

[JizzonTheDark]

@PluralOfEverything

Your comment is speculation. I"m wrong just because you say so? You're telling me people in general would be less violent if there were no cops? Wow, Prove it.

I believe in non-aggression, but I'm not about to give up my guns or forsake knowledge of self-defense. Sure, governments may be the greatest purveyors of violence, I won't argue with you on that. If you prefer lynch mobs as opposed to cops and juries,great, but the threat of violence is ALWAYS in the cards.

[PluralOfEverything]

@JizzonTheDark No it's not just speculation. Cops impose violence. If there were no cops, there would by no violence caused by cops. They attack people committing "crimes" in which violence is not a factor, thereby causing unnecessary violence.

You definitely should be able to defend yourself. It's not all violence that I'm against. It's unnecessary violence. Self defense is necessary violence.

[JizzonTheDark]

@PluralOfEverything

ok, there you said it, "necessary violence". You want to make this about corruption and militarization of police, when I'm talking about the violence inherent in the system (the simple threat of violence) If there are no cops are you ready to protect your family, neighbors and property with lethal violence? How do you punish people(or groups) or prevent outsiders from harming your community. Are you going to pay to lock these guys up or simply put a bullet in them?

[PluralOfEverything]

@JizzonTheDark Yes I am ready to protect my family, neighbors, and property with lethal violence. I'm willing to anyway. It would be better than a mafia who never requested my consent being in command of it all. If other people want to be governed, I have no problem with that, but I don't want other people's laws being imposed on me without my consent, and I won't acknowledge the authority of such organizations.

[JizzonTheDark]

@PluralOfEverything

I agree with you for the most part, but currently it's illegal for the common man to kill in order to protect his property. Offenders have to know there is some sort of threat of violence for the actions they commit, whether that threat comes from you, the police, or both. If you fail in your defense, who will avenge your death? Would you want them to use violence on your behalf (without your consent of course because you're dead) to bring justice to your murderer?

[PluralOfEverything]

@JizzonTheDark If I'm dead, I don't care about revenge, but in the absence of police, anybody who cared enough could step in and avenge me.

[kempion]

@anarchovoluntaryist Superficial. Until you address those who own you, then you aren't saying anything that hasn't already been said.

And, @AnarchoSyndicalistt, you have even less to offer. Throw away a functional blend of capitalism and socialism for what purpose? To satisfy YOUR hatred for your miserable life? If you had a better solution, then you would be doing it.

[PluralOfEverything]

@kempion Look who's accusing people of having nothing to offer. The system isn't as functional as you seem to want to think. Education is the solution, and it is being implemented with videos like this. Things might be going ok for you at the moment, but you're a slave. You defend your owners because they leave you with enough entertainment to distract you from your serfdom, but turn off the tv for a second and look around.

[kempion]

@PluralOfEverything Ah, the complete failure of reading comprehension strikes again. Re-read then pie-hole it.

[PluralOfEverything]

@kempion That's a funny way of admitting that you have no argument and that what I said has made you reevaluate your position, but I'll take it. That was humble of you.

[kempion]

@PluralOfEverything Make whatever assumptions you wish to make. Your assumptions speak of you not me.

[PluralOfEverything]

@kempion That's not really what you think. That's why you came back to say that. You're trying to convince yourself that running out of arguments is the same thing as making an argument. It's not.

[kempion]

@PluralOfEverything You continue to make assumptions. I don't need to make an argument to defeat assumptions.

[PluralOfEverything]

@kempion Keep telling yourself that.

[kempion]

@PluralOfEverything Keep believing your mindless drivel has any value, kid. ;)

[PluralOfEverything]

@kempion Keep pretending that's what it is, kid.

[kempion]

@PluralOfEverything You look like you are 12, kid.

[PluralOfEverything]

@kempion I'm rubber, and you're glue. Whatever you say to me bounces off me and sticks to you.
