Francios Tremblay’s Feb. 6 line that “Our society is built on the principle of generalized competition” is sort of the inspiration for the comments below, but I do not mean for this to be a rebuttal of Tremblay’s entire post, if only because he nevertheless makes many valid points about the present nature of [...]
Both politicians and assassins agree that aggressive force is an acceptable means of influencing society. They disagree over exactly which tactics are best to accomplish their objectives.
Take Sarah Palin. She supports hunting down WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange “with the same urgency we pursue al Qaeda and Taliban leaders” if only other people would [...]
This is just too much. I am almost beyond words.
CBS News reports (also on YouTube) that Dallas police officers will have the cost of their cab fare paid with union dues if they have had too much to drink.
Arresting peaceful people and depriving people of their property can take its [...]
The response from politicians to the WikiLeaks dump of American embassy cables has been almost universal condemnation, save of course for Ron Paul, who somewhat facetiously made a public request of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to release undisclosed Federal Reserve agreements with foreign governments.
Predictably, you have the Obama administration calling the release [...]
I was listening to an episode of The Fuze, a local internet show co-hosted by Ken Emanuelson of the Dallas Tea Party, with former New Mexico governor Garry Johnson as his guest.
The show got contentious when the discussion moved to immigration. From my understanding, Emanuelson is concerned that mass immigration will drive down [...]
In her own way, commentator Diana Wong [above] made some good points about Rand Paul. [Note: I encourage everyone first to watch to the video, which was also uploaded to YouTube; otherwise, this response might not make sense. The title for the video apparently comes from another video posted by Lyndon LaRouche [...]
A supposed justification for a monopoly government is the need for an impartial judiciary to resolve conflict.The idea is that, in a conflict, people will be biased in their own favor, so an independent third party is needed so that a fair hearing can be had to prevent a further escalation.
Even taking that at [...]

Re: People who Piss me off: Free Market Anarchists
Ad hominem attacks aside, YouTuber hawanja’s video on free-market anarchists seems to make the point that people “naturally organize themselves into hierarchies” that require violence to be maintained, so anarchism runs counter to the human condition. It is left unstated why violence is needed or ethically justified to maintain these hierarchies if they were [...]
