RE: Why Im finally speaking out against the worlds most dangerous religion

in #dtube6 years ago

I narrow the world down to those who want to control others and those who do not. I do not. It is very frustrating to me too that so many seemingly intelligent people cannot understand even the basic principles being discussed.

A good example is the difference between rules and rulers as you pointed out, and another is how government is not the same as governance. Our objective is not chaos either. It is individual liberty. Sadly though, the vast majority of people around us don't want the individual responsibility that is required to have individual liberty.

Government implies a ruling class, so again, as you wrote, there's no such thing as good government. It isn't a necessary evil either. It's just evil. Controlling people against their wishes and subjecting them to a double standard under the law will always be evil.

It doesn't matter what reasons people have for doing it too. It's still evil. Either you want to control other people or you do not. That's really how simple it is. I don't need to control other people and don't want other people controlling other people either.

They say it is impossible, but look at any crowded place like an amusement park. All of those people are interacting peacefully and voluntarily naturally. It is the natural state of 99% of humanity. Then you have a small minority of predators.

Those predators love governments, for it gives them the perfect place to work.

Sort:  

I agree with the sentiments. I am also someone who doesn't want to control others. There's moral problems with it, obviously.

I see a pragmatic problem too though. Liberty requires a sort of leap of faith or understanding. It takes courage to embrace. You have to essentially believe that it works.

I think this is where most people stop.

"If there's no government then who will take care of us!"

They think all their neighbors are going to turn into rabid thugs.

I think it's more likely that those neighbors share the same fear and band together to help each other out.
