@AncapAir@DropTheMaskPod The spirit of the statement is great. But precision is important, so newbies get it. Liberty is not the state’s to give. It’s our own. All the state can do is interfere with it. So:
The state will never stop interfering with your liberty. Ever.
WE don’t do anything. The majority provide status quo inertia. They keep statism going because they believe it. We are transitioning at this point from a situation where statism has total buy-in, to a situation where it does not. Along the way, the inertia shifts from carrying forward statism, to not doing that. As propaganda erodes (and the internet is insuring this), the belief in political authority erodes. An unconscious but tangible increase in skepticism. Eventually (when the boomer and late Gen X are no longer here) that trend accelerates. The new direction is inhospitable to statism, which erodes. That social/cultural situation becomes the norm, and the majority secure THAT with status quo inertia. No ideological shift or conscious raising (for the masses) necessary.
@AGPbutbased@mz_storymakers Dorkas, are you familiar with Larken Rose? He wrote an entire book on the subject. His site is https://t.co/ualgrVRR26. He is expected to livestream an event on July 18, at which I am speaking.
I had a great time interviewing the always thoughtful, always fun Patrick Smith @NotGovernor. See below for the video link.
FYI, we’ll both be speaking at Larken Rose’s upcoming event ‘“Approaching Humanity”. Links are in the show notes. @larken_rose
@SallyMayweather There’s yet *another* white pill. The attempts to stoke fear, to divide, etc. are shorter and shorter lived. This trend is not going away.
@DropTheMaskPod Correct. Laugh at them. Mock them relentlessly. That helps others feel the permission to do likewise. A good wedge opening toward skepticism.
We can now give some of the line-up of people who will be speaking at our July 18th event, "Approaching Humanity." Woot woot! See first comment below for video link.
