Thus, the violence will resume.
It really needs to be clear that the threat of violence is the reason we have society. It's the only way to prevent usurpation in the future.
Maybe we do need to constantly throw off government. I am coming around to the Anarchy way of thinking.
Your earnest participation in the discussion is laudable. I consider us of like minds, because I'm willing to alter my position in a heartbeat if it means coming into better alignment with truth. And I did this, many times. I only fully realized most of this stuff recently.
I always thought, "Who the hell are these guys to stand between two consenting adults making a transaction for drugs, sex, whatever" but then I'd go out and vote, knowing they'd impose themselves in one form or another. I just didn't make the connection that "who the hell are these guys to do
anything at all?!"
When I realized that fully, I was scared, because I thought "Holy hell, the world will fall apart if this construct goes away". But little by little I realized that most of its contributions are an illusion. The people come up with all the good ideas, the people design and build stuff, the people pay for it all, then politicians step in and take credit for it. Typical political bullshit - do nothing, and claim everything.
And yeah, you're probably right - it's probably going to come to blows. But it IS possible that it doesn't have to, and I'm trying my best to keep that from happening in whatever small way I can. I'm trying to get people to realize that we can just turn our back, withdraw our support. We don't have to fight them because they're mostly just a bunch of fat or frail fuckers, and they've got nothing if people won't pick up a gun and do their dirty work.
Police and military are a key part of this. We've got to make it socially taboo to take those jobs, instead of praising them. When Johnny comes home and says, "Mom, I want to be a cop", parents should be like, "No son of mine!"; girls should be like "Ew, gross"; friends should be like "What happened to you, man?" You get the picture. Many of these people are brave, noble, courageous, and if they could just be made to understand that their efforts would be more in alignment with their values if they fought for true freedom, they'll become valuable members of a free society (probably still doing the same job, but feeling like a true hero, instead of stressed out and suicidal).
When a lone "nut" comes out here and promotes true freedom, people call him a "kook". But if a discussion starts up and half the people are arguing for freedom, the idea will get through people's pre-conception filter and become subject to their critical process. At that point, it's a done deal, because the logic is so obvious and irrefutable that it only takes earnest consideration for it to be seen as truth.
