The state always grows, and always will. Its a parasite that feeds off the productive work of its host until it consumes as much as it can and collapses. Its the natural conclusion of the fallacy that we can't be trusted with freedom, but they can be trusted with power. We need gun control, but they can be trusted with the power to declare war, and hold nuclear weapons. We can't handle our own finances, but they can handle an entire economy productively. And the problems never change, the OPPOSITE is always achieved.
The war on drugs increases drug use, the war on poverty increases poverty, "universal" health care results in extremely limited healthcare
We say that human beings are too greedy to be trusted with freedom, so the conclusion is to give people guns and assume that they will use it for our benefit?
As long as we treat the state as some kind of demi-god who has completely opposite moral rules then what apply to the rest of us corruption and insanity are the only conclusions.
Everyone wants to use the gun for "good". Everyone thinks that their cause is the one cause that can tame the gun and use it productively, but you cannot give people authority and not expect corruption.
Government is a pseudo science "the government will take care of it" is not an answer, and like all pseudo sciences it is worse then useless. If they can get us asking the wrong questions, we will never come to the right answers. "Who should be point the gun at" is the wrong question, "Does a monopoly on coersion moral or solve problems" is the right one.
No collective abstraction can compensate for and individuals relationship with the truth.
The truth is what sets us free. Curiosity, honesty, empiricism. Reason requires no manipulation, or violence, because it is universal but unfounded prejudices have no other option other then violence. The free market and scientific method decrease violence because it is based on relationships of mutual self respect.
We all want to compromise, but the good has nothing to gain from evil, and evil has everything to gain from the good. The rational have nothing to gain from the irrational, but the irrational have everything to gain from the rational. The irrational by its nature is self destructive, and it can only survive by being a parasite of the rational and productive.
America started out as the smallest country the world had ever seen, and in the shortest amount of time it has become the largest, most powerful government the world has ever seen. How did this happen?Because the parasite can become so much stronger if it is based on a stronger host. The rational and productive had nothing to gain from the state, but the state had everything to gain from the productive.
We said that they we can't be trusted with freedom but they can only be trusted with a little power. But a contradiction is a contradiction. 2+2=5 and 2+2=4.1 are both equally false, and there is no compromise between food and poison.
If we intellectualize midstream, THIS is the conclusion.
Statelessness is the recognition that moral rules apply equally to those in government
Statelessness is the recognition that any corruption or condemnation that you apply to human beings applies equally to those in government because they are human like the rest of us.
Statelessness is the recognition that freedom can never be achieved by the opposite of freedom.
