Taxation Without Representation.

Have "we the people" become sheeple to the point where all we can do for the cause of liberty is whine and cry online?

Are Votes or threats of votes enough anymore?

Here's a start:

Nonpolitical Libertarian Strategies:
1. Voluntaryism - People simply withdraw consent through nonvoting, taxes, and will not consent to being governed by force.

Example: Colonials in America declared their Independence of England and no longer gave consent to their governors.

2. Agorism - People use blackmarkets to weaken the government. Markets produce better products than the state so people choose markets to do the services of the state. Blackmarkets cannot be taxed which weakens the state.

Example: Agorism in colonial America helped them bring about revolution through ignoring laws such as the navigation acts and other taxes.

3. Passive Resistance - People passively resist the government. Police are known to initiate force against the innocent and nonviolent. Through media and the internet, the populace will see the testimony against the state.

Example: Gandhi in Indian Revolution.

4. Education - People through learning and becoming smart tend to rebel. This is exactly why the slaves in America started to rebel. As a slave became smarter, that slave was worth more. However, that slave also attempted to escape more because he was smarter. Thus, slavery was dubbed the perculior institution.

Example: The enlightenment sparked the most revolutions in recorded history throughout the world.

Voting has never in history been able to achieve more freedom.

Time for civil disobedience. Time to get rid of the whole system, not just shuffle the deck.

This bailout bullshit is a real turning point, imo. This is when the average, apathetic joe begins to come to our side.

I know - I really wanted to answer that question myself but I'm probably already on enough watch lists. Suffice it to say that merely asking yourself the question is enough at this point.
