Episode 84 - The immorality and impracticality of obedience to so-called authority

The purpose of talking about the negativity of politics is to create a better world for everyone The moral double standard of government must be challenged People comply all the time for all kinds of reasons "Agents of the State" do not work for us; they work for those "in charge" Cops: America's one and only--by force! A legalized monopoly on police force will always use that force against you Public property leads to making victims out of all of us, by "agents of the State" Impounding equals theft equals extortion racket Many "businesses" collude with those in government and use the force of the State to make money The goal of government is to maintain obedience (in order to "make" money and keep control) In traditional education, kids are managed, watched, and told what to do by those who presume to be "authorities" over them, which leads directly to statism Arbitrary enforcement of unjust laws makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Typical "news" stories don't have truth and freedom in mind Government as Jabba the Hut...

It's incumbent on parents to see their kids as equally deserving of respect Unschooling principles are based on a mutually respectful code of morality And kids who are unschooled according to rational moral principles won't tolerate tyranny as adults Each generation is within reach of complete liberty; it's just a matter of how much of your life you want to take back that has been stolen from you "Public property" is a contradiction in terms, and a sure-fire way for authoritarian sociopaths to treat others unjustly Our distinct lack of freedom is the issue and idea of our age... The common denominator of socio-economic problems is government, and the irrational/unjust memes fostering it Hernando de Soto's misguided ideas about property rights http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/commandingheights/shared/minitextlo/int_hernandodesoto.html The illusion of property rights serves the interests of those in power to essentially harvest the products of the free-range slaves Lack of understanding in economics and human motivation leads to fears about exploitation by property owners Re-educate thyself in the nature of freedom: http://tolfa.us Feel free to rate and review CLP... http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=254220370 The fundamental difference between Marxism and Objectivism (property understood and applied) is logic http://wiki.objectivismonline.net/wiki/Introduction_to_Objectivist_Epistemology http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/epistemology.html http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/objectivism.html Most philosophers throughout history have denied the validity of the senses and thus forward illogical epistemology Do you think that freedom should be the highest value for human beings? Reason, purpose, and self-esteem all require freedom Both personal and political freedom are necessary to live a life proper to a human being Rationalizations for statist memes serve as sick substitutes for genuine choices in a free marketplace The founders of Sudbury Valley School unfortunately incorporated "democratic" statism into an unschooling school (free school) environment - http://tinyurl.com/leukmc Being told that you have "a voice" in a democracy is basically saying that you don't exist as a respectable person The obedience meme is widespread, even among the liberty movement Some have decided NOT to obey - Lauren Canario Eminent Domain Arrest (in 2005) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-ElrlwnMrA Is the lack of freedom in your life preferable to experiencing the consequences of living freely? With the moral code of altruism, there is no end to the sacrifices and thus rationalizations Only a tireless disobedient minority (of agorist intellectuals) can accelerate the process of achieving complete liberty If you're not doing anything to protest the injustices of those in government, and if you're not demanding better behavior, nothing is going to change Lots of wealthy businesspersons "legally" try to pay as little taxes as possible, which concedes the immoral premise of statism and emboldens statist oppressors Civil disobedience--based on the principle of self-ownership and property rights--is the moral thing to do, because individuals should be respected "Under a government which imprisons unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison." H.D.T. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Disobedience_(Thoreau) Reacting violently to political oppressors not only plays into the hands (fists and guns) of the authoritarian sociopaths, but it also leaves the authoritarian/obedience memes intact Nothing trumps your mind, volition, and life The greatest motivation and benefit of defying unjust demands is internal Those who believe that they are moral must come to terms with enslaving and incarcerating rights-respecting individuals Supporters, video cameras and the Internet are the primary methods of showing the immoral and unjust behavior of governmental "officials" (and shaming them) Complying--remaining libertarian talkers--makes it seem as if injustice isn't happening Stefan Molyneux's contrary messages: http://www.freedomainradio.com/Traffic_Jams/FDR_1448_working_for_the_state.mp3 http://www.freedomainradio.com/Traffic_Jams/FDR_1369_Tricky_Trollz.mp3 If we believe that it's moral and practical to obey, then neither those in government (nor bullies) will change their behavior as a consequence You're never going to get a significant fraction of people on board the liberty movement unless you do disobey, and incur the consequences of the code of immorality that's being foisted on people Violent resistance to governmental "officials" unjust demands basically would lead to your death and their death, and perhaps death of the liberty movement The authoritarian/obedience meme has existed for centuries--but it's time to evolve, and it would be a shame if we didn't Check out the activism in Keene, NH - http://freekeene.com Freedom Roundtable - 2009 Liberty Forum - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUAoeQ-6Q2o In America, we have the rhetoric and pretense of freedom The next-step challenge is to get rid of the behavioral contradictions, to walk the talk All those in governmental schools need to listen to Brett's School Sucks Podcast - http://edu-lu-tion.com The horrible injustice perpetrated on Irwin Schiff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irwin_Schiff#Convictions_for_1997_through_2002_tax_years Peter Schiff on his father, Irwin Schiff - http://motorhomediaries.com/schiff/ The immoral man whose job Schiff wants - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_history_of_Christopher_Dodd The IRS is an institution that is evil to the core--they aggress against rights-respecting persons and their property Even if you're fully educated about complete liberty, as long as you comply with tyrannical attitudes, nothing really changes for the better For the convenience of the government, and on account of his heroic efforts, Daniel is no longer part of the Navy: http://immoralityofwar.blogspot.com/2009/09/day-131-end-of-my-military-enslavement.html War is the health of the State, and the State promotes war, first and foremost on "it's citizens" via taxation and regulation http://warisimmoral.com bumper music "Rise Above" by Black Flag (and Intro: "Richard Feynman: Disrepect for Authority" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhD0MxacnIE ) http://www.myspace.com/blackflag80shardcore  http://www.sstsuperstore.com/product.asp?showproduct=SST007-CD to comment, please go to http://completeliberty.com/magazine/category/91697
