RE: Rapper DMX Sentenced To A Year In Prison For Tax Fraud - Songs Played In Court As Defense

in #news • 7 years ago

Slavery has manifested itself in many forms throughout history. The chattel slavery of the antebellum South is not the only one. We are objectively not free, and as evidence of that, I point to every mandate for government permission, including licenses, registrations, permits, and regulatory red tape to buy, sell, or even build on your own property. Every tax is a claim of superior ownership over your life by the government. As for beatings, look at every instance of police brutality in enforcing laws against non-crimes. And as for sales, we can't even buy our freedom from the government's plantation system.

    you might want to check out NH, there are surprisingly few permits required, you don't even have to have car insurance.

    the vast majority of people are arrested without any police brutality and police brutality is not legal, they are both criminally and civilly liable for it, slaves can be brutalized all you want and they don't have legal redress.

    a key difference between you and a slave, among other things, is that you are free to go.

      Ergo decedo is a non-response.

      Evidence that we are subjects and slaves rather than free people:

      • Anyone arrested for a non-crime. If there is no trespass against life, liberty, or property, there is no crime. If there is no crime, the law is unjust and the arrest or fine is criminal.
      • The US has the highest per capita prison population in the world.
      • Police brutality is an epidemic, and only the advent of the modern camera phone with a 24/7 web connection has allowed any evidence of this to be brought to public attention.
      • The government steals more than "criminals" in civil asset forfeiture alone.
      • The government demands we get permission to do everything.
      • The laws against police abuse are woefully under-enforced and under-prosecuted.
      • Legal redress is quite difficult to obtain in reality when the party against whom you complain is part of the same organization promising redress.

      Unfortunately, you probably won't realize any of this until you find yourself on the wrong end of corruption, brutality, or legal abuse yourself.
