Clearly we have not been voting hard enough.

Sorry to hear this. And creatures like Biden and the Clintons live on…

glorious drama

RIP

The culture itself is racial. White people, with limited exceptions, aren't allowed in "their" culture. (Not that anyone in a right mind would want to)

There is no honor in uniting a divided country by force. It's just slavery by another name.

Ya sure ok

There is a place with almost no white people at all. It's called Africa Go there

I wonder if Zippyjuan was an early prototype for ChatGPT

It's gonna be real funny when there's no more women in the work force, because the hiring quota for women is filled up with men in dresses

Such a brave woman

Of all the ways for human kind to go extinct, getting killed by that annoying little fuck Fauci is probably the lamest. I'll take a Giant Meteor any day over that stupid fucking shit

We need to make viruses more deadly, so we know whether or not viruses can become more deadly

Deliberately.

It's just Tucker though. Everyone else on Fox has no problem with carrying the establishment narratives. Not everything is a hidden agenda. Perhaps Tucker is just on a long term contract and he was hired back when his views were different.

Normally I would agree, and I recalled you saying that as I was writing the post. But I do think it's worthwhile to try to find an alternative to "state" and "statism", in the context of "non aggression". Most normal people (rightfully so) equate "state" with "government", whereas the anarchist community equates "state" with "aggression", which only tends to exacerbate the public image that "anarchy" = "no government"

Random rant tangentially related to this thread: Anarchists (myself included) should really find better a better word to use than the "state" when what is really meant is "an involuntary political system". Using "the state" in this sense conflates the idea of having a central government, with involuntary membership in that government. Classically, some anarchists truly are against "the state" (having a central government of any kind) but I don't think that's what most anarchists here (and Larken) intend to mean when they use that word. Not intending to get into a semantic circle jerk, just an observation.

I don't think you're really even trying to understand any of my points. But I will proceed assuming you are at least making the effort. As with most things related to anarchist theory, these concepts tend to fall on the side of the abstract. The average farm scenario is fairly straight forward. If you want to secede, you stop paying taxes. That's what that would look like. I say "average farm scenario" because this can get complicated quickly and I'm happy to get into the edge cases with concrete examples if you prefer but that could of course be a lengthy discussion.

You're still not providing anything concrete to judge by, just a few vague, ambiguous statements about your beliefs that don't provide enough info to determine much of anything. Despite the fact that it appears to me that we might be about to start playing the definition game, let me try to help you out here. Let's say that I own and work on a farm. This farm was legitimately homesteaded by my ancestors and has been in my family for several generations. Let's also say that my farm is situated in a region in your hypothetical world that imposes taxes but does not "forcefully oppose" secession. How do I go about seceding so as to not pay the taxes? What does that look like? Another scenario: Suppose my farm is situated in a region where the people are fascist. Again, I want NOTHING to do with their fascism. How do I "opt out"?

Need more votes for Don ppl. Santis is catching up

I voted divisive Don for the delicious drama :cool:

Well then you tell me if I'm a statist. I self identify as a voluntaryist but maybe I'm in fact just a statist in denial. My views: - I don't think taxes are necessary and I would prefer to live in a region without taxes - Taxation in the current political climate is theft, but that's only because secession is forcefully opposed - Minarchism, Communism, Fascism, are all compatible with the NAP as long as the individual right of voluntary association is respected Am I statist?
