Governments once had, among others, the task to protect the plebs against criminals. Now it is hard to not see Governments have become the biggest criminals themselves, but with a power monopoly.....

Politics itself and the structure of representative democracy within a Republic isn't the problem. When this country started only certain people could vote. They all owned land which meant they held a stake in the country. They were business owners. They read books. They were thinkers. The renter class holds no stake. Higher education, despite the warnings of Senator McCarthy, has been infiltrated by radical Marxists. The rest of the population is ignorant. People who have never read a provocative book in their life get to vote. People who pay no taxes get to vote. When the voting base is dominated by stupidity, greed, and short-sightedness, politics also becomes dominated by those things. We've been taught that giving every living, breathing soul in the country a vote has been progress, but has it really?

is voting an improvement at all?

Yes. If the people voting hold a stake and are intelligent enough to understand the ramifications of what they're voting on then yes.

A gun may protect you and your family from a crackhead thief, but it won’t protect you from the corrupt state. Better to find a new jurisdiction 🌎 😉

Let's ask Socrates 😁

it blows my mind that there are bitcoiners who self custody and are unarmed

weapons are illegal practically everywhere excet the US. we are sheep over here

Americans often forget about this… Myself included I take it for granted

Always were

All jurisdictions are going the same direction. No voluntary government exists in the world today.

Some are (much) better than others

You used to be able to say (or at least think) that about America just a few years ago

Your worship of government is the actual problem, sir.

Just keep voting harder, slave

They took my guns.

I'm not old enough to judge 😇

Get at least two guns. Shotgun and pistol.

None are perfect but some are FAR better than others.

Yes, but get a gun first.

Be on your top mind game... People with rifles need to meditate and get their Samurai self activated through discipline and awareness while in active training. Stealth and intelligence, in right relations and reverence to all of life. Activate the honorable warrior within. Might serve you to become a hunter.

I live in Canada and it’s going down fast, crazy fast. I wish i could move my family to the US….

As far as I'm concerned the shit hit the fan in 2020 and it isn't getting better anytime soon.
