What the fuck are you talking about?

How does all this philosophy and esoteric argumentation affect me?  What the fuck are you talking about?

 

 

The things you value are either in your control or relative control or you are letting someone else control them.  You determine the things you value through political decisions.  You either let government get bigger—for allegedly good or necessary reasons; or you keep government smaller—which actually makes your wealth and freedom bigger.  Always in the long run.

 

If you work and trade for the things you value, you control them.  If you check the government or any authority, you control your own life—but you have to work some.  Not a lot anymore compared to before the advent of money and trade and liberty, but some.  Also with liberty and voluntary association, there is much much more philanthropy and distribution of wealth than with any centralized charity or authority.  And recreation and sexual liberty.  From things like contraception—which wouldn’t exist without capitalism.

 

If someone else is deciding what you deserve or your welfare, they are deciding what you have—if you fit into whatever cause is the just cause—at best.  Usually well-intentioned revolutions end up with a totally poor population and a police state: the police or government can do anything they want to you—and do; and you have what is rationed to you.  Things like your house, your transportation, your work, your internet, your marijuana, your alcohol, your sexual liberty.  They can raid your house or your car or arrest you for driving home from the bar or club; and even take your car or house; or you can lose your job or not be able to keep up with rising costs; or they can censor your social media or stop anyone from disagreeing with them.

 

If someone is claiming to be doing good via a centralized authority, they are either fooled or they have a profiteering agenda.  No better has ever been done by a centralized authority than by voluntary association; by a socialist nation versus a capitalist nation.  In fact, the general welfare is much worse.  There is much less philanthropy and distribution of wealth.

 

This has been true throughout history if you look at the empirics of capitalist nations versus socialist nations versus communist nations.  And that’s in the free world—after the after the advent of liberty and democracy and freedom of choice; after monarchy and feudalism and despotism and worse.  

 

But the utility follows the morality (or, if you prefer the word principle to morality, according to principles).  Some believe that we are autonomous individuals.  Others believe—or espouse—that we owe others (according to the philosophy and sociology du jour).  Where we owe others, we all fall to the weakest link; where we are autonomous, we all rise higher than ever before.  And it is actually a justification to steal your stuff.

 

Someone included—stole—the trump card that you would never argue with of having your third eye opened with their version of goodwill or revolution—so you feel indebted to them and support their theft agenda.  They actually stole this this magic and brokered it.  And they indentured you.  All while indoctrinating you since you were a child to believe in these material causes and justices—in an allegedly spiritual revolution.  That’s strange.

 

The people who brokered this spirituality indebted you—or got you to indebt yourself—and you will have to pay back this spiritual—and material—"revolution.”  

 

And if you are one of the pirates, it turns out you have no place to sail back to at the end of this plundering; and you have to pay all of it back.

 

For the record, someone deliberately and meticulously and barbarically discredited me on every point I would ever make.
