Anthem

[Dissent]

Anyone ever read it? Its a book by Ayn Rand. I swear to god the first chapter is a statist's wet dream....it was scary to think how close we are to that kind of country.

 

[theDoctorisIn]

I've read Anthem.

How are we "close" to "that kind of country"?

 

[Dissent]

Close as in

NDAA
Public Indoctrination Centers aka public schools
Everyone is equal bullshit
Government controls
our money
food
health insurance
etc etc etc...

So why do you think of yourself as a slave?

I live in the same country, yet I don't think of myself as a slave. Freedom is largely a state of mind. If you want to believe you're a slave, no one can stop you.

 

[Dissent]

I don't...but that doesn't stop the elite from trying to make us slaves.

Dissent is having a put y'all back in chains moment.

 

[Dissent]

What the **** are you talking about?

 

[mamooth]

I'm trying to think of how I was put in chains today, but I can't come up with anything. Maybe I'd understand how enslaved I was if I read more Rand. Now there's some incentive.

 

[Dissent]

They control our money,food,our lives,hell at any time for any reason any of us could be taken under the NDAA and be kept forever without trial or charge...that's a free nation? Pft.Yes read more Rand...Also read Rothbard,Mises,Ron Paul...tons of good books out there to read...

 

[LoneLaugher]

What a crying shame. Someone help this man.

 

[OODA_Loop]

[Dissent]
