A short video on a highly undervalued commodity in the market of free and voluntary human interaction.

Courtesy and kindness go a long way to thaw the layer of fear and anxiety which is often leveraged by the state to turn us as individuals against one another in a frantic, panicked, and non-thinking competition for survival.

With absurd polarization attempts via the mainstream media, hyper-publicized catastrophes and disasters, and politicized everything, the state seeks to keep us fearing one another and fighting amongst ourselves. This makes us as individuals much easier to control and manipulate.

While disobedience, non-compliance, and unapologetic advocacy for Voluntaryism are necessary, there is one small weapon that, though often overlooked, goes a long way to bringing an end to the violence of the state.

That small weapon is simple human kindness, and a basic effort at simple human connection.
