"You're mad about this, but let me explain why it's already been worse than this for a long time. Get over it."
So many times when government supremacists make the case that you shouldn't be angry that government can get away with violating your liberty, they seem to be trying to make the case that your liberty was never safe from government in the first place. I agree.
Where I disagree is when they then pivot to saying you need to get over it and just accept the situation.
Instead of looking like a reason you should accept the violations, they are making the best argument for abolishing the State.
Scott Adams, on his Thursday live stream, was talking about the case in which Liberty Safe (which neither respects liberty nor keeps property safe) told the Federal Blue Line Mafia how to get into a customer's gun safe (of course, Scott had ALL the important details wrong).
As usual, when he's right he's right; when he's wrong it's because of his government supremacism.
As a government supremacist, he apparently believes "law enforcement" [sic] needs to have a way to get into people's safes. That's not a reason to accept this violation of your property, it's a reason to abolish the State.
Then, to keep making his case, he was talking about the fear of digital money and how it is misplaced because government has been able to cut off your money any time they want for a long time. Again, not a reason to accept the situation, but a reason to abolish the State.
He makes the same case about your privacy-- it's been gone a long time, so why are you talking about it?
He's not the only one with this blind spot. It's a defining feature of statists/government supremacists.
I know all the arguments for allowing The State to exist. I have heard and evaluated them all-- I haven't seen an original justifcation in decades. They are all balderdash. They are a child's reasoning.
When even government supremacists admit that the State is there to violate you, but then try to justify it with twisted "reasons", it's a clear indication they know they are on the wrong side, even if they don't want to admit it.
The State has been allowed to molest humanity for too long. Abolish it.
I read this post earlier today ... and then thought of you again tonight when i saw the following headline:
ReplyDelete"New Mexico’s Democrat Governor Suspends Second Amendment Rights in Albuquerque with 30-Day Ban on Open and Concealed Carry"

Kind of underscores your message that gov't apologists "try to justify it with twisted "reasons""

She has always been authoritarian trash. This doesn't surprise me at all. What would disappoint me is if anyone listens to her.
DeleteAnd I have a trip to ABQ coming up in the next couple of weeks. Bad timing-- but is there ever a good time to go to ABQ? Maybe I can get out of it.

That reminds me of a statement made about a decade ago by the Sheriff of Wake Co. NC when addressing a 'conservative' 2A rally ... "There are NO unconditioned Rights".
DeleteHe was so confident of his 'position' that he had his attorney and several Deputies accompany him on stage.

Of course, she'd believe that...
Delete""There are NO unconditioned Rights".-- When someone says something like this it tells you 2 things: They don't understand what rights are, or don't want YOU to understand, and they plan to violate your rights.
DeleteMostly the last part ... they plan to violate your rights.
DeleteDavid D. re-posted a link to the 2013 MCMM meeting where the Sheriffs and their lawyer explained how they were going to follow "the enacted legislation" even when it clearly conflicts with the language of the Second Amendment.

"the enacted legislation" is what keeps them employed, unfortunately. So of course that's what those parasites are loyal to. Without it, and by respecting natural human rights, they would be out of a "job" and they'd have to find a real job.
