I Pledge Allegiance to the Tribe

[nikcers]

Identity politics are just a sign of American cultural decline. People no longer feel the need to assimilate into westernized lifestyles. The left has been cultivating this with the shaming of American culture in order to enslave the population by shaming people for being who they are while pretending to be the party of immigrants they make people feel like immigrants in their own country.

Who needs him when we have you?

I have love for almost everyone here, but not for everyone equally. There is not a single person that I hold in higher regard than AF. He is and has always been the most sensible poster of the RPFs for the last 12 years. If anyone ever asked me who here I respect the most, the immediate answer would be Anti Federalist.

[Swordsmyth]

Got it...Yes, it is, but it wouldn't be a good idea to have a .gov operating in that realm, I think.

Keep in mind that, until fairly recently, the postal service would censor and limit what you could send in the mail.

Yes but the "private" sector is doing that now and they are not subject to the 1stA.

True.

Lucy is not a random victim attacked by mere accident, do you understand? She is a willing recruit, a breathless, wanton follower. I dare say, a devoted disciple. She is the devil's concubine.

That's what comes to mind when people speak of the "misguided" victims being manipulated by those wishing to sow the seeds of division. In the end, they are still our enemies, and will ultimately kill us if given the opportunity.

There it is.

What?

Let the statist flow through you.

I once said it would be a reasonable option for the PO to operate as one option in the internet business just as they are one option in the letter delivery/package delivery business.

Information distribution is vital to the health of a Republic, that is why the founders created the PO.

"You cannot deduct Reputation from the same post twice."

Does anyone here remember this site 5 years ago? These statist scum from Daily Kos or wherever they came from have shifted the overton window so far that this is treated like a point worthy of discussion.

My suggestion is no different for our tech level than the USPS was at the founders' tech level.

Information distribution is vital to the preservation of liberty and having a 1stA bound option is not a bad idea at all.

@Swordsmyth in your revenge neg you called me a"leftarian"; can you name a single leftist view I hold?

No way, you are probably one of the most principled libertarian on this site. Can't wait to see what he comes up with.

You oppose most measures to secure the border for one.

Can you name any measures to secure the border I oppose?

He's here for one thing only, to sow seeds of discord. ETA: I'm intrigued that he has any foothold here at all, he even claims that he is part of the liberty movement.

I wouldn't let that camels nose into the tent. Government is cancer and it always spreads. And it always starts with the call to "do something". Wrong direction, u turn required, it would be no different than government "fixing" health care.

This.

While it would be nice to apply 1st Amendment protections to online platforms, the solution in this case would be worse than the disease.

One can clearly see how the first amendment is treated in 'government' schools. This rot (cancer) has now spread into the public sector thanks to their indoctrination.

[acptulsa]

Of course he can't. He's such a collectivist he hangs labels on people first, then dreams up spin to support that lying label. He can't handle people who agree with him on some things, and on others agree with the people the MSM tells him to always disagree with.

A forum full of individuals just blows his little mind right out of the water. And believing in people who don't agree on 100% of issues, but still get along, is against his "religion".

[pcosmar]

So the founders were "statist scum"?

Many were.

And many were NOT. and warned of such...
and predicted exactly what happened...

There failed to be another revolution in 20 years. and the crap got out of hand.

[acptulsa]

So the founders were "statist scum"?

I know this is really, really, really hard for you to understand. It might even sound like a fairy tale to you, it's so weird from your MSM-fueled worldview. But the Founding Fathers were not a perfectly uniform batch of automatons from the same cookie cutter. They were individuals. Say it with me: In-di-VID-u-als. They did not agree on everything. They did not all prefer green beans to peas. They did not constantly finish each other's sentences.

Get out a nickel and look at the front. Not a statist. Now get out a ten dollar bill and look at the front. Statist like you. Nickel? Not a statist. Sawbuck? Statist like you.

I know it's hard for you to believe that two guys could be so different and both choose to wear powdered wigs. Get used to it.

[pcosmar]

What are you talking about? You constantly advocate for bigger government.

Yup,,as inconsistent as he is prolific..

[pcosmar]

Got it...Yes, it is, but it wouldn't be a good idea to have a .gov operating in that realm, I think.

and before that you could order a Thompson Sub Machine Gun through the mail.

You don't post much but you have exposed your position a few times:

Wrong. people tangled up in statism always say "we need thicker barbs," or "can we electrify this?"
@TheTexan knows one should NEVER ask God to damn the government.

Awesome response!

End the incentives!

Ending incentives is not enough without active measures to secure the border

Ah, now I understand. The debt, the tarrifs, the spending, the qe, it's all strategic. Once Trump makes America a third world shythole, the foreigners won't see the point of coming. Brilliant!

That was not the point, the point was that active measures are needed to control the border and immigration.



You also keep accusing me of being racist in neg reps for supporting immigration and border controls even though I make it quite clear that it isn't about race.

They can be forced to better than the Neofeudalist oligarchs can.

I take it you think the founders were statist scum for making the USPS?

They were not, they knew that Information distribution is vital to the preservation of liberty.

That's a nice try at deflection but the Post Office was not opposed by any significant number of the founders. (if any)

That is a legitimate concern and I would consider it before committing to support the Post Office offering internet services (notice that I don't make a bunch of posts pushing the idea, I just said it was a reasonable thought once) but that hasn't happened with the Post Office.
