Well written. To address the obvious straw man objection by statist apologists “but humans are inherently evil and selfish,” I say that it is this self-interest that makes statelessness and non-aggression possible. For the few people who are not driven by self-interest but rather self-destruction, there can always be common-sense stateless solutions to them, much better than anything the state could provide.

Always fascinating to think about how a truly free market would create incentives to behave in a decent manner.

I highly recommend reading the linked blog post.

Great article. You know, if everyone cared enough to take five minutes of time per day to think about how they can adjust their thoughts and actions to be less imposing on others, I know that the realm we’re in would be immensely more peaceful and free. Be less of an imposition to humans and animals and have the peace and freedom we all crave. It would be deserved.

Thank you! I absolutely agree with you. Unfortunately, many people have an attitude of "this should be forbidden" or "we need another tax on that" instead of just letting people live their lives.

The many are moral relativists. They haven’t discovered that there is objective right and wrong behavior. They align themselves with whatever whims or preferences that they find convenient.

Really great article David.

Could you apply your principle, and thoughts, to the natural rights for the western citizens to fight back against the Marxist-fascist war on mankind that is being waged with 5th generation warfare, a virtual civil war, against western nations citizens in particular, where the richest people in the world, the true communists that want to own and have a monopoly on everything, meaning the monarchies, the international bankers, and the billioinaires, who collectively run the global Money Monopoly and Monopoly Capitalism, and use these super weapons to STEAL all the wealth, to lockdown 4.5 billion people in their homes for the common cold and pneumonia branded COVID-19, both as a fear mongering tool and a code word for their global army of evil bastards, and then jabbed six billion people with biopoisons called "vaccines" spreading death, disabilities and diseases, and I haven't even started on the A-Z list of Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars (Civil Wars), as detailed in the 1954 training manual for the CIA insiders when the "International Elites" declared WW3 against mankind.

I would like to see an article explaining to people how far they can take action against people who are without doubt hell bent on killing them.

Cheers,

Thank you, Ivan. I agree with the problems you point out, but I don't really see a good way forward for the West. At the end of the day, the government of a country is a representation of its population, as it is the majority of the people that voted the current overlords into power. It's just like in Argentina (until recently): If you bring the communists to power over and over and over again, this won't end well for the country. Of course, the situation could turn around, but I really don't see that happening in the near to mid-term future. I believe if one is (rightly) concerned about where the West is going, one should have a plan B to get out of the West (either in the near future or when shit hits the fan).

Hi David, I don't see good ways out either. But I absolutely disagree with you regarding the 'representation of its population' - we are, and have been for millennium, enslaved under the Crown Monarchy System run by the Zion Imperial Empire, made up of monarchies (which includes the Vatican too), bankers and billionaires, and they are the true communists, the Evil that rules humanity, that have been raping, pillaging, and plundering the planet for millennium, and using the people as slaves, cannon fodder, and useful idiots. The communists have been power for generations except it is a hidden empire and the majority just can't see it because they are caught up in the Mind Control Matrix of the elites own creation.

What I suggested you write about is the ethical and natural law considerations considerations in taking the fight back against the evil bastards killing us.

I guess that is something we can agree to disagree on. However, I will continue to write about ethical considerations of living in peace (those that I can truly represent and try to live every day).
