Here is My Favorite
(Please be fake, please be fake, please don't tell me these piles of mush are our future).
Look how PROUD they are
to spew that ignorance. It would be funny to me if it wasn't so sad.
My first mistake
was getting on facebook (my bad! I kept getting cut in line at the gas station because people don't know how to work a line up when there are two cash registers). Seriously people, have yall been to a bank before? Stand in line, the teller will call up the next available. It is the most efficient and far way to get people in, ringed up and on their way.....
But noooooooo. Evidently I was invisible today.
(Good to know.)
Why am I getting a flashback to 1982 on set at "Porky's"? I wasn't even born yet?!
My second mistake
was reading the comments
Oh boy, here we go!
I hope that man is on Steemit: he deserves an upvote for that.....
I'm sure THAT comment went over REALLY WELL with people that put the constitution on level ground as their bibles. (I never understood the draw to magical pieces of paper. Then again, Harry Potter was pretty popular).
The responses were expected. Lets all pile on the guy that is talking from an individual and moral standpoint (fuck him, right?)
Well: it happened.
I stretched out my arms, shoulders, elbows, forearms and fingers and did that gross "crack-every-knuckle-and-joint-in-both-hands" move us weirdos do.... And I was off and running.
My Response:
Okay guys: I know this is crazy but stick with me.
So... What is SANE is taking the majority vote, from a populace that doesnt even understand what to do at a 4 way stop or how to work a "double cash register" single line (person next in line goes to the next open cashier)....
What's sane is expecting people to vote between two sociopaths, acting like they are "educated" on the politics, but dont even bother to learn the difference between Austrian economics and Keynesian....
Has knee-jerk reactions to everything the media shoves down their throat...
Can be led by simple mindless rhetoric paraded out by strategists on cable tv shows that earlier were given scripted talking points by the political strategists...
Okay, so let me get this straight.... Over 100 years of "choosing the lesser of two evils" is NOT the reason we cant have nice things?
Seems to me that is what we have been trying and what is a fault here.
I DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO IMPOSE MY WILL ON YOU IF YOU ARE HARMING NO ONE - regardless of what a PIECE OF PAPER says.
I say the "reason we cant have nice things" is because we believe in this illusion of authority that sociopaths have the right to oppress YOU simply because idiots believe them.
Google "Bernays", the "father of" P.R. and propaganda (and, ironically, nephew of Freud).
Every fortune 500 company ceo and political leader has studied his work.
Paraphrased his message is this: if you are intelligent enough to fool people and get them to act in a certain way, you not only have the right to do so, but the obligation.
And that, my friends, is why "we cant have nice things"
Because people give authority to pieces of paper and costumes and not each other.
Because people believe they have the moral obligation to tell others how to live their lives... And if the majority of idiots decide to take away YOUR rights.... That is legal to do.
No... Sounds like y'all are the "reason we cant have nice things".
Response to my response:
And finally, my response to his response to my response:
Purist?
Utopian?
Where? Where?
I am speaking from an individual, moral standpoint that I do not have the authority to tell you what to do. How you feel about the matter is IRRELEVANT to my beliefs and my actions.
You're living in anarchy dude, every day. You have large amounts of autonomy to live your life how you want.
Your believe in magic spells and pieces of papers and costumes is cute...
Especially when you advocate for that authority to have more power over your life and has the ability to kidnap you, throw you in a rape cage (even if you have harmed NO ONE) and leave you there as long as the magical paper or some guy with a night robe says.
Yeah. I'm the crazy one, right?
Have fun doing the same thing over and over while expecting the same results...
And then have the audacity to have an attitude of moral superiority over people that think like me and blame us for the problems you helped create?!
Oooohkay dude.
I think Carlin is smarter than anyone in this comments section.... I am siding with him.
Oh and: when, (exactly) do you think that you will get "the right people in to fix it"?
Hows that been working out the last 240 years?
I have a strict rule: unless you are physically holding a mic, hold it out in front of you and drop it to the ground you can't claim it was a mic drop. It is like giving yourself a nickname, that's not how it works: someone else has to do it.
So, Steemians. Was that a mic drop or did I waste my time arguing with people that refuse to see things from a moral standpoint?
You tell me.

I tell you what, it just goes to show that the only thing Libertarians hate more than government is other Libertarians.
