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 themselves to be my owners. They extort me for money and presume to dictate how I may or may not live my life. I correctly recognize this behavior as violent. I correctly identify them — insofar as these humans are operating in this authoritarian capacity — as my enemies. I don't care if you say I must follow a "social contract." I did not sign one. If you are too lazy to figure out how a non-violent man might be left to live in peace without participating in what you deem to be the "right way" to organize a society, that is your own problem. If you would rather violate the peaceful who wish to opt out than to develop a universal, workable property norm for all — or work out how to peacefully disassociate — you are a sociopath. Mentally and spiritually ill. Vaccine mandates are currently being implemented. Scientists questioning the corporate media narratives are ignored, slandered, and mocked. Families are broken apart. Friendships ended. Hypocrisy reigns. This is an actual war. And those in favor of statism seem hell-bent on making it a bloody one. Please reconsider.
