The government only does 2 things at any given time:
1. Try to grow in power
2. Convince you that that was a good idea.
Good things happen sometimes as a result, but this is rarely if ever the motive.

@MrBeast @kaimcd27 Mastery doesn't mean you know everything and can't improve. Mastery means you know you don't know everything and can definitely improve.
@morganisawizard Pardon me for being an extremist, but this is yet another question best solved by ancap. No offices publicly held at all = no issues with age or ability of those holding such offices!
@beinlibertarian Specifically, they want to overflow because today's society is much less libertarian than our forefathers. Why expand the government around the bill of rights, when you can make a new government without such pesky things like the 1st & 2nd amendments?
@beinlibertarian This is not only a distraction, but a ploy to get you to not trust the government. I think there was a change a few years back where the strategy changed from wanting you to have faith in the government to wanting to get mad. I think the powers that be want a radical overthrowing
@selfhealerdiary @clownworld I wouldn't say mandatory but definitely customary. I used to work for a budget pizza company in a college town. You get all kinds there - $30 tip for a $100 order across the street, and a guy who paid $15 for his meal across town that cost $14.99, saying "keep the change"
@JoeBiden So I'm hearing, "to let the average citizen be wealthier, we need to take more money and use it inefficiently and in a way such that they never see a 100% return on (forced) investment." Awesome. Sign me up. Thank you so much for using more and more of my money against my will.
@JoeBiden Authoritarian governments and unelected bureaucracies have been used time and time again in mass killings of innocent children and people. It's time for the people to ban them.
@DefiyantlyFree This does not surprise me. Who is supposed to watch out for government corruption? The government? Who watches the government watching the government so the government doesn't get corrupt about its corruption?
@TulsiGabbard Citizens, but that's because governments need us for power. Government as an institution is no more than an organized crime syndicate who pretends to be legitimate by shallowly trying to convince us it does us good to keep it around.
@TulsiGabbard There's no irony here. Not really. Government does not care about its people. Some do-i think you do-but as a whole, governments are not about protecting citizens; they're about maintaining a power structure with them at the top. That happens to align with protecting its (1/)
@thtlibertychick I cut a few pieces, then eat those. Nothing regimented; just like, cut a strip off and cut that up. Allows for the juicier meat and also less work while eating some of the pieces.
@jgp94@Whyman5Whyman@RealMattCouch Just because government had a hand in development of certain technologies, it doesn't mean that it needed to have been so. GPS likely would have been invented in some way anyway, likely for cheaper. The internet certainly would have been privately developed as well.
@Bought82068482@LegionSteves@GaryWatling3@RealMattCouch In an anarchist society, you prevent being governed by simply being ungovernable. If everyone in America simply ignored the state and went about their business as if it didn't exist, there isn't much the govt can do. Same with an invading party.
We have world war 3 starting, endless debt, inflation, mandates still in place, your right to free speech and protest being prosecuted in DC, the left grooming kids at drag shows and yet all the right is talking about on social is DW and Crowder.
The right is asleep
@SMan274_ @atdanwhite I had an 87 Chevy Nova hatchback which had a Corolla engine and a number of other parts (it was a GM-Toyota collab). She was slow, ugly, and would oddly make perfect smoke rings out of the tailpipe on foggy mornings. I miss that car more than I should
