God damnit george
You are the fuck that started this whole thing.

One difference these days is that George isn't threatened to help Oliver all that much anymore, he's threatened in order to fund warfare, bureaucracy and corporations who have lobbied government favor.

Ooh, I like this video. Not that I didn't know this idea before, but it's easily digestible for newcomers to the idea that taxation is theft.

[ClayTrainor]

That was very well done. I have a few people I need to share this with.

Wow, that was an awesome and simplistic movie to easily introduce the non-aggression principle

Concise points colored with real world relativism end with suggestive keyword searches. the introductory illustration of liberty is better drawn out in "george out to help" than "the philosophy of liberty". in our hands, we hold a masterpiece.

Meh, showed this to a forum I regular in which the majority of members are leftist Europeans. Got called a bunch of names, got referenced to the social contract(ie: maybe he should move to another country). The one conservative amongst them, a South American, called me a dreamer and brought up the old "what about roads" argument.

[emazur]

The Constitution is the original social contract and the deal was that the government would stay out of your way and in exchange you would agree to stay out of other people's ways. If someone objects to the Constitution as a social contract, it is he who should consider moving to another country.

Anyway, sorry to hear it didn't make make it through their thick skulls. You could show them this as well but I'm not sure how much good it would do based on what you said

The notion of the social contract implies that the people give up sovereignty to a government or other authority in order to receive or maintain social order through the rule of law.

There is no social contract because I never handed my sovereignty to the government.

Awesome stuff, thanks for posting.

[BuddyRey]

I wish there was a way to circulate videos like this one on a more widespread basis so that it wouldn't just be seen by people who already agree with its message and those who vehemently oppose it. How do we reach the "blue pill" crowd?

Maybe show them this
