People who don't live in reality until reality comes for them are not people you want to follow if survival is important to you
- Me
I don’t care what books you’ve read. I bet I’ve read them all and most likely before many of you.
If your answer to the man-made horrors we’re currently experiencing is to prattle on about some ideal world you want to live in, you’re useless to humanity.
You may believe you’re the most moral and righteous person out there but who gives a fuck? You’re useless against any enemy because you live in a fantasy world.
Your refusal to embrace the reality that a unified culture existing under recognized, unspoken norms is the most important factor to achieving peace and prosperity, even more so than economics (go ahead, clutch your pearls), makes any activities you may be engaging in, especially ones that run counter to these facts, moot.
Throughout the multiple wars of 2020, so many of you didn’t recognize the moment we were in, when society changed forever, and you refused to adjust your view of reality. You stuck to your imagined “utopia” and scoffed when I told you to “stop living in Ancapistan in your heads.”
Let me go back to this morality that is so important to many of you. If you have a vision for the world that you believe would increase human flourishing and bring about peace, what is stopping you from doing everything you can to make that a reality? Especially with so many people suffering around you? YOU are the immoral one for not using every weapon at your disposal to stop this suffering and institute your vision. My assumption is that many of you are satisfied with being able to say “I told you so” which is much easier than putting yourself out there and risking failure. This is why I only see weakness in you.
I know there are many out there active in politics, even at the local level. You obviously want to see change. I implore you to understand the game you are engaged in. If for some reason you are still applying the non-aggression principle to politics, why? They are your enemy and aggress upon you by default. Tread back! Use that power to grind them into dust and then move on to the next target. Yes, this is the language of war but politics is war by other means. If you are not doing everything to defeat an enemy who will stop at nothing to defeat you, you are just wasting donor money and time. And THAT’S immoral.
Please wake the fuck up! You need to not only see reality but embrace it. It’s the only way to realize what must be done.
Regarding your comments on the game of politics:
Yes! It has become clear that there is no such thing as "playing dirty". So many "Libertarians" want to "keep their hands clean", but this is akin to stepping into a boxing ring and crying about getting punched. That is how the game is played! If you want to engage in that game with the intention of "winning", you must play with the same ruthlessness that your opponents will. There's no shame in it. This is no violation of the NAP. That concept is just a tool used by our opponents to keep us from attempting to defend ourselves in THEIR system.
What yanks my root is the complete refusal to openly declare an enemy, by name or affiliation. They’re intellectual cowards, adrift on a sea of the prepackaged ideas of others.
Pitch MAGA outreach to a Mises caucus member and watch them recoil in purist horror. The fact is we all became defacto MAGA the second elites decided we were all domestic terror threats, like it or not. Meanwhile, more people, millions of people, are hearing a modified version of the Ron Paul message from guys like Steve Bannon on a daily basis. The difference is when Bannon says we need to end the fed, close the bases, end the wars, cut ties with the UN/NATO, wall off the border, dissolve the FBI/CIA/NSA/DOE/ATF/IRS etc. people actually know who he is, and right or wrong, respect what he says. Heise = King Nerd, protector of ideological purity, defender of obscure concepts. They talk of outreach and forming issue coalitions til blue in the face, yet there’s this one, glaringly obvious opening staring back at them, but it’s too icky with low-brow deplorables to to involve the ideologues. How is this different than Sarwark? Messaging? 😂 What a fucking joke. I’m ashamed at having ever been involved.
