I personally have pretty much given up on fixing the world. But, basically I am pro freedom and anti government. I think it's hilarious that we have this massive government and call it the land of the free. It's such obvious indoctrination once you see it. Politicians are always lacing their rhetoric with the word "freedom" when we are all slaves to the taxes and inflation.ddraig wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 5:22 pmFirst step? Eliminate the popular vote for Senators and place the selection process back into the hands of State Legislatures. Right now we have 100 "Little Presidents" as Senators. Make the Senate more responsible to the states and eliminate the money train for Senators. There would be more oversite as well. Second step? Term Limits for ALL in the federal government including bureaucrats. No more than 12 years in office, either House or Senate, and no crossover. Finally, outlaw former government employees from ever working for lobbies! Then too, move the State Department to New York, Agriculture to Nebraska, Transportation to Los Angeles, Education to Oklahoma, etc. Get them all out of the echo chamber that is Washington, D.C.
Step one would be to eliminate the Senate. That's an obvious way that the whole thing is easily controlled. 100 people ruling over 300 million people and nobody even questions it.
Step two would be to eliminate the Federal government and let each state run itself. The larger the so-called "government" the more opportunity for tyranny. Also, the less opportunity to flee to somewhere where you will be treated differently.
Step three would be further decentralization where the 50 states become 500 states. We could get rid of the states and let each county run itself independent of any other "government" entity. Government generally only grows. It never shrinks. We had far more liberty when we were under colonial rule. There were barely any taxes or regulations. You didn't need a passport to leave the country. Now, we are supposedly the land of the free and you can't even cut someone's hair without a license. So, the goal should be to decentralize, break apart, and stop recognizing the illegitimate authority being imposed.
The ultimate step is each person as their own sovereign entity with zero geographically based jurisdictions. Government is inherently immoral. Nobody has any right to rule over anyone else. It doesn't matter if it's a King, dictator, or some bullshit presentation where we supposedly elect our rulers. We shouldn't be forced to elect anyone to rule over us. We shouldn't be forced to pay taxes to anyone. All human interaction and association should be voluntary. I should be able to be a citizen of Ireland even if I live in North America. You shouldn't be born into a jurisdiction without your consent. Even the lauded "Constitution" was implemented without getting the consent of the people that would be subjected to it. This is not how contract law works. There must be consent by each party for the contract to be valid. Aside from that, the only true law is natural law.
I try to explain the concepts of liberty and why statism is immoral and illegitimate. But, really, Larken Rose already nailed the explanations in a short book called "The Most Dangerous Superstition". I was still clinging on to the concept of statism until I read that book and realized that my morality and good conscience won't allow for me to support statism any longer.
