As mentioned previously, even without government-imposed tyranny in response to COVID 19 or the George Floyd riots, 2020 was destined to be a shit show as it was a national election year where the incumbent was hated by the majority of the population. And what were we given to go up against the “Reality Show Host-in-Chief? Joe fucking Biden. A man who can barely make it through a speech without looking like a completely confused jackass. A guy who likes children to play with his leg hair. A guy who went to war with a “bad dude” by the name of "Corn Pop.” He’s also responsible for the 1994 Crime Bill and has been one of the biggest promoters of the “War on Drugs” but hey, after four years of having a clown show in the White House, no need to talk about actual policy.
The state itself is a corporation. Twitter, your local deli in many cases, and the US government are all corporations. Why? The defining feature of a corporation is limited liability. Someone feel free to correct me if I’m incorrect because I’m no expert. But the point I want to make is that even on the playing field of libertarian rationalism boarding on autism, the logic of “it’s a private company bro” falls apart. Limited liability is a conspiracy between voters, lawyers, jails, policeman, mayors, governors, etc. How can you call that private? A corporation is a bit like a magical shield that potential thieves use as protection against other man who might potentially punch them in the face for not paying their debts. Is alternatives to the institution of limited liability an important discussion? Is it being had anywhere?
Checking on my terms, I found this useful reminder. “The US constitution is best understood not as a “social contract,” but as a popularly issued corporate charter. The earliest American colonies were literal corporations of the crown, and like all corporations, were ruled by limits governments established by their charters... The key federalist innovation was to substitute the people for the King as the chartering sovereign.”
It is disgusting, "the cathedral". and these are the people we have to live next to, be forced into their government systems or otherwise unable to "opt-out."
