Uncomfortable truths: - All ideologies are garbage, from communism to anarcho-capitalism. Ideologies are only forms of mass control. - Most people are neither prepared for freedom nor do they want it. - You're not going to be able to change anything about this shitty world. - The only one who was right from beginning to end was Ted Kaczynski.

anarcho-capitalism is literally no one in control of both politics and markets. it's the oposite of mass control...
If assuming people are inherently bad and this world is run by evil then the guy who was right was not named Ted but Jesus.
Speak for yourself friend, some of us are going to change the world.

Supermajority of us are good peace loving people. Look around you and your neighbours, it's actually kind of hard to find inherently bad people if you don't open the tv.
Calling every ideology garbage and then endorsing Kaczynski is a contradiction: his 35,000 word manifesto was itself an ideology, the stated foundation of his 1978 to 1995 bombing campaign. And whatever his diagnosis was worth, his version of being right killed three people and injured 23 more.
A truth isn't an ideology; an ideology is something that tries to indoctrinate. Ted's truth was simply, "You're screwed—accept it. The only solution is to return to a tribal society." I don't think that's an ideology.
It should've collapsed from within many times over the vast 2 millenia. Why has it not is the more interesting question. I am Catholic, not to defend its rulers and principalities now or in the past, but it remains and its faithful fight for the spirit of it despite them.
I wouldn't know how to answer that; I suppose they've amassed too much power to be brought down. But consider the ancient scriptures to be among the most radical teachings I've ever encountered—very difficult for any mortal to follow, and certainly far removed from the doctrine of the Catholic Church. To me, Jesus is the most radical man who has ever lived, regardless of whether he is the son of God or not. If I had to confess my moral creed, it would undoubtedly be the teachings of Jesus.
Very difficult to follow indeed. With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

There's only one effective way to protect borders: form local communities and kill the invaders who try to enter.
That's a silly thing to say. If his ways are not our ways, then why teach us? You're basically saying humans aren't created in God's image. You're literally required to figure out what Christ means and then copy Christ - that's what its all about. But instead you say his ways aren't our ways? Make them your ways.

Yes, but not inherently bad. For example, people hate war, but still governments can sell war to the people quite easily. Almost all of us just want peace, safety and comfort. In fact, it's these desires of the people that are exploited and used against them for purposes of war, socialism and control by the few.
No, they are evil, because they are effectively just avatars of their rulers, and their rulers are evil. They do whatever their rulers want, at all times, and they have no real values or thoughts of their own. They think and claim that they do, but in this they lie to themselves and to you. A just ruler would reduce these insects to serfdom or worse, by the way. They wanted me and mine dead only six years ago because the TV told them to, and I will never forget that.
