Could they stop lying if they wanted too? https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/20/politics/government-shutdown-house-republicans/index.html Everyone knows that the government is not "shutting down" under any circumstances? They will eventually raise the debt limit, that's a forgone conclusion. At the very worse, federal employees may get a short vacation after which they will be paid. This is just another distraction from the fact that the State abuses people both foreign and domestic.

I don't believe comfortable slaves will try to escape. Even if a few of them are whipped, if the rest are content they won't even slow-down if they might suffer even the least additional discomfort. After all, it's what they know & that sets a very low standard. #abolishTheState

So yes I've looked for the answer, but the numbers I'm hearing do not seem right. How much of the economy is dark money? Between drug cartels, CIA money for shady ops, and all of the other money that would need to be laundered to use it legally. Including alternate forms of money. I read that some big players use drugs as money to settle costs. How big is dark part of the economy? Recommend a book. Share a link. I have a bad feeling about this.

Jordan Peterson suggests it’s time to ‘scrap banks’ and use Bitcoin

Dr. Jordan Peterson sparked a debate on September 14, about the ‘unbanking’ movement and Bitcoin (BTC) being a tool to “scrap banks”.

"All laws are restrictions..." that's a bit of a soft pitch. Laws are ultimatums, enforced by violence, up to and including death if resisted. These are the consequences for which you advocate. You reject freedom and prefer slavery.

Every claim of state authority is special pleading.

Does a manifesto mean you're just pointing out the obvious?

Okay so I'm studying Spanish, an it makes me wonder if I understand English. Let me explain... One of the first words you'll be taught in a Spanish course is the Spanish word "estar". Estar means "to be". Sounds easy so far right‽ Define "to be". Remember, don't use the word in your definition. I think it's cheating to use words with those words in its definition. That would be circular reasoning. And maybe I'm over thinking this but I'm wondering how I would teach a non-speaker, maybe a baby, the concept "to be". I raised to speaking kids to adulthood. So it happened. Just a weird thought I had. #totd #spanish #grownostr

This was a fun thread... In the end libertarians are still statists hoping this time the State will fix it

If you work for the State, you work for organized crime.

Today, I want to complain about the industrial mailbox complex. The State requires you to buy a mailbox, and once it's installed it becomes theirs. It's legal magic, don't ask. Someone ran over mine/theirs, I suspect the UPS driver, but the evidence is circumstancial Without the mailbox they won't deliver. The cheapest I could get away with to replace it was about 100 bucks plus taxes. This is so insane...! Anywho, gonna spend the next hour in free labor to the State... This really sucks. Please, share your nightmare mailbox story with me

Yeah, I can zap again!

If we didn't have a government who would listen to us without engaging in discussion‽

If there wasn't a government who would save your house from fire‽

What‽ How can this be? It's almost like all the fear mongering was an attempt to manipulate the masses; like public servants were/are pulling the wool over the public's eyes all the time.

Where would I see your status if you had one?

Why can't I zap?
