The older I get, the more I seem to hate the government and the authorities. Also I don't really care anymore about political parties, because they are all sell-outs anyway. It seems we are losing freedoms by the day and nearly everything is criminalized. Am I the only one or is this sentiment getting more widespread?

Welcome to the club, friend. No, you are not alone by a long shot. Millions are waiting for the same thing. :check:

I am just waiting to fight the good fight and take many of these fuckers down, before I go down myself. :clap:

Hoping like hell that they declare martial law pretty soon, myself. :coolbeans:

Once Obiwan is in power, as a lame duck, you can pretty count on it. :check:

Yes I feel the same as you, every day the lies and the bullshit get deeper and deeper.

I don't have a problem with authority per se, once it's protecting the rights and civil liberties of others.

Regarding Government, I don't think we've ever had a more parasitic institution that's as rotten to the core as the one we call Government. A great example in my own country is our own Government running what was the biggest defecit ever in a peacetime country solely to bail out a delinquent, totally insolvent banking system, that's still running losses of billions of Euros a year.

Government is fine if it:

1. Stays out of education.
2. Stays out of healthcare.
3. Does not limit our Internet.
4. Stops printing money under the corrupt Federal Reserve.
5. Stops creating a nanny state.
6. Does not bail out banks.
7. Stops promoting the notion that Big Business is the enemy. Get a job, OWPs!
8. Stops acting as though it has a conscious over moral turpitude.
9. Follows the Constitution.
10. Stops empowering newer generations with entitlement free riding complexes.

yep. it feels like having to follow around a drunken infant with a gun. you dread the next action they will take, wonder when it is they will turn on you personally. I find myself rooting for the "terrorists" like anonymous, because they actually benefit us by usurping the government.

Quote:
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

Quote:
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Fuck governments!

I'm an anti-statist. I recognize that governments and politicians have already outlived their purpose and are not applicable to 21st century living. They need to be done away with, the sooner the better. Here in America, our freedoms are slowly being legislated away. There are somewhere around 50,000+ state and federal laws in this country, with new ones being written every year. Roughly 1% of our entire population is in prison or on probation. The private prison industry is highly profitable and is one of America's strongest industries. We're witnessing the beginnings of a draconian police state as it slowly creeps into every aspect of our society.
Our schools are like prisons today. In fact, the one elementary school near me is surrounded by a large fence with an inverted curve at the top, apparently to prevent the kids from escaping...? You can't make this shit up! Our elections are nothing but a popularity contest between pre-selected candidates who were already approved by the wealthy elite. Our medical system is mostly a scam driven by the greed of pharmaceutical companies. Our agricultural system is being taken over by Monsanto and their genetically altered crops, which when fed to lab rats in studies, the rats developed liver lesions and cancers. Isn't that just dandy!?

The governments have got to go if we're to ensure our freedom, health, and stability.

Problem is they all suck.

Even the American founding fathers, authors of the Constitution and Bill of Rights that set the benchmark for freedom and equaity in the world for centuries (until it was completely shredded under the Bush/Obama administration), were not immune.

Look at the Alien and Sedition Acts..... the same generation that for the first time in history recognized Freedom of Speech and the Press as the inalienable rights that they are, also hypocritically passed a law that could put you in prison for talking shit about the government. Not even George W. Bush was that brazen... though Obama is fast approaching it with his NDAA BS.

Representative democracy probably wouldn't work in any system, but it particularly fails a profit-driven economic system. Most people are corruptible and will sell out if the price is high enough.... that's why consolidating power in the hands of a few (even if they go in with the best intentions in the world) is a huge mistake. The Twentieth Century is a testament to that, as it saw more centralized power in the hands of a few all over the globe than any time in previous recorded history... and also more people murdered by their own governments than any time in history (over 200 million). The twenty-first century so far looks like it is off to an even bloodier start.

As appealing as the idea of no government at all is to the naturalist/primitivist in me, I have to recognize that the situation would not work like that for long... Unfortunately true anarchy would immediately degenerate into Lord of the Flies scenarios and ultimately a group of Warlord kings that would end up consolidating power like before, if not worse.

We have to have some minimal government, but now that we have the technology to pull it off I seriously believe direct democracy is the only way to go. Psychopaths will always go after the power roles as long as they exist... some people are natural leaders and will have more influence than others and this is unavoidable, but no man or woman should ever have any more or less statutory power than any other. Thus even the smoothest talking sociopath is limited in the damage they can do.

I used to be a lot more concerned than I am now. If women arn't interested in LS males then I am not in the loop because I have no kids to worry about, potentialy at any rate. A lot of women in the left are not concerned about me, so why should I be concerned about them and their governments? If the place wants to turn into a tyrany, I'm for sale.

I used to have moral turpitude myself, a sense of right and wrong, and used to be horrified at all that I learned through independant media, but my LS has been allowed by women to consume me to the extent that I could no longer afford to maintain a set of principles. I have since taken them out of immediate memory and compressed all contents and shoved them deep into the auxillary memory banks.

My view is this. I believe that an extreme government will eat away at womens rights and a warlord mentality will prevail where women will be reduced to a commodity. They will eventualy be kicked out of jobs and shoved into the recesses. I am in favour of this until a woman goes out with me. When a woman goes out with me, providing it's not too late, I will shift back to the left. Until then I am veering toward the right, and ultimately the far right. This is the nature of the disease. There is a cure for it but I am denied it. I therefore have absolutely no choice other than to veer rightward. We are not allowed to express ourselves normaly because women, not government, don't allow it, so we have to make do with what avenues best enable one's survival. Women must go out with me in order that I may think otherwise. Does this make sense?
