Does anyone else besides me believe Larken should get a slot in the Defenders of Liberty sub forum?

I’d agree with that.

Unfortunately, he’s not very popular around here any more.

If I were on an island with 50 people the first thing I would do personally is recruit 25 other people to join my army and get the other 25 to do our bidding.

But that's just me I suppose

There's really only so many ways to say, statism is bad, before the content starts to go stale/repetitive/boring

And the first thing I’d do is contract with the other 25 people for our mutual defense, secure some high ground and tell you and your “army” to pound sand.

But that’s just me I suppose. Well me and anyone else who values their freedom and is determined to hold on to it.

If that’s all you get out of Larkin’s stuff I’d suggest that maybe you’re only glancing at the surface and need to dig deeper and think harder.

And hey, repetition is the mother of retention and the fact that statism is bad could use to be retained a little more around here lately.

Let's be real here, 25 aggressive statists vs 25 autistic ancaps, who wins

Or maybe he's just preaching to the choir. And all his attempts to not preach to the choir, is just more... preaching to the choir.

Bring it.

Not you and your flock of Karens. I guarantee it.

Me, I would be worthless in a fight, I would just pretend to go chasing after a runner, while everyone else fights.

But my team would be hand-picked alpha Chad's and Deshawn's, that I assure you, no Karen's no sir no females at all except colored females if they brought knives (which tbh, they probably did)

Yes, I get it, keep chanting USA, Biden, the next "R" who runs, why bother with educating people and promoting actual freedom.

[TheTexan]

One thing I try to do is educate people on the uselessness of educating people

Which is admittedly, also useless.

There's a lot of useful things we can do. But educating people, besides yourself, is not among those things

Expecting an overwhelming number of minds to change overnight is of course ridiculous. But, I have evolved in my thinking, others in my circle have also. We all start somewhere, from indoctrination at an early age to xyz. The idea is to reach those looking for answers before they become consumed by the statists and keep the spark lit. It is freeing ones own mind and passing it along, hopefully creating small cell communities.

That's pretty unimpressive. Real statists would leverage the power of a small minority of the population to get the remaining supermajority to serve them.

Sure, but it never starts off that way. You have to conquer with overwhelming force, and taper it down over time. Takes skill, timing, and finesse to do this appropriately.
