Re: the current lunacy: There are ultimately only two paths — violence and non-violence There are two paths: live and let live (private property), or brute force violence (statism/politics). https://read.cash/@VoluntaryJapan/intro-to-voluntaryism-decentralized-individualist-order-2fae301c Those who think penetration should be forced on others are part of the latter group. The simple solution to this is to abolish government and all “public property.” That way there are no…
I own myself. Full stop. I don't care what you say about "government." I am not one of America's "citizens." I am not the property of any government. I do not recognize the authority of any other individual over myself. Not police. Not politicians. Not lawyers. Not priests. Not friends, family, or loved ones. Not the gods of religions. I own myself. What is called "government," is simply a collective abstraction of human individuals like me who have arbitrarily declared…
Believing the Atomic Bomb Was Necessary Is the Same as Believing the Holocaust Was Necessary Regardless of the fact that military brass and other experts on the matter historically said it was unnecessary, and that the Japanese government's representatives were attempting surrender to no avail, some individuals still wish to maintain "We'd all be speaking German right now if those bombs hadn't been dropped!" Or that "More lives would have been lost had we not ended the war."…
Control by Confusion, Part 1 **Dr. Gites:** David! You should be at home! Are you feeling sick? **David:** Oh, nothing at all Dr. Gites, I just stopped by to make a payment for my last visit and I — **Dr. Gites:** — I'm certainly sorry you're feeling unwell today. What seems to be the trouble? You know, David. There's something you should be made aware of. **David:** What's that, doc? **Dr. Gites:** Well David, there is a terrible disease going around right now and I am…
Control by Confusion, Part 2 *Continued from* *Part 1* https://read.cash/@VoluntaryJapan/control-by-confusion-part-1-63f7b1b5 ******* **David:** Okay well, sheesh. I'm just going to pay Shirley here and then head home. **Dr. Gites:** Here David. Take these. (*The doctor extends two individually wrapped antivirus bracelets*) **Shirley:** I'm awfully sorry David. But this concerns everyone's health. And while I respect your lifestyle, sometimes we've got to consider the needs…
Control by Confusion, Part 3 *Continued from* *Part 2* https://read.cash/@VoluntaryJapan/control-by-confusion-part-2-2e695143 ******* *The scene opens on David, one year after his disconcerting visit to Dr. Gites' office, sitting in a dimly-lit living room and watching the nightly news on a newly-purchased flat screen television set. A cigarette burns in a ceramic ashtray next to the sofa, with David's TV tray directly in front of him, dinner untouched, a fork standing…
Control by Confusion, Part 4 *Continued from* *Part 3* https://read.cash/@VoluntaryJapan/control-by-confusion-part-3-38923854 ******* **Dr. Gites:** David! It's great to see you. I think last time was way back at the beginning of all this mess. **David:** That's right, doctor Gites. How's the clinic been handling the influx of patients? **Dr. Gites:** Well, for a while things got busy — in the winter — then stabby came, and now it looks like our little town here did pretty…
Original song about the Covid cult's attempted takeover and why we must continue to breathe. *(link to downloadable audio below — the whole low-fi, acoustic recording is avail)* ****** **"When the City Breathes"** I'm in the language school and I'm waiting for the comedown where everyone gets up and leaves all this rundown sophist treachery far behind now it's just you and me with an open mind in the open air, in the open air from the mountains I saw the city nestled below…
Fuck KYC — Do What You Want With Your Money (in non-violence) Lots and lots of cheering for anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations as they are perceived as helping bitcoin and crypto to achieve wider adoption. While this may be true in one sense, in another, bowing to these regulations unthinkingly and giving up on permissionless, peer-to-peer exchange of electronic cash is suiciding bitcoins' #1 value proposition: *economic freedom*. While…
Short Poems/Haiku — Vol. II **Lepers** Buddha’s balls have been clipped Christ died for nothing Screaming of babies from a nursery on a gray, stuffy, random day just before fall The illusion of sickness now a clever excuse And now to be unremarkable, is amply rewarded A race of cowards And yet: Resplendent faces prevail Shining beautiful new diseases into the world Our human kinship leprosy The timid passers by avoid us I’d love to leave it at that. But they have smelled…
If the Government Cared... (just think about it) If the government cared about your health and well-being, they wouldn't break up families over a plant. If the government cared about climate change, they wouldn't be dropping bombs around the world decade after decade. If the government cared about children, they wouldn't force them to participate in a cookie-cutter education system that doesn't allow for their individual interests to be pursued. If the government cared about…
Who Owns You? My body and my life are not the property of a government, a politician, a cop, a judge, a lawyer, an employer or any other human or group of humans. Anyone asserting a claim over my body — there are many — is my enemy. I do not recognize any masters over myself. Unfortunately, these parties leverage violence against me in order to take my money, restrict my freedom, and outline what I may or may not do with my body and my life. Where I may go, how I may take…
Melancholy But not for no reason. The days just fade into one another and slowly drift past, but at a speed that is so fast it is impossible to truly recognize until they are long gone. I'm watching the outside world fall apart and crumble into a mess of authoritarian destruction of the human spirit. Just waiting for the real war to begin. But also hoping for more time to prepare. It's not just the proverbial calm before the storm. It's the storm already happening all…
