Unfortunately, despite all hopes, Americans persistently persist in not revolting against their government.

I despair of the Revolution coming any time soon.



I honestly am far more fearful of what a revolution in the modern USA would look like.

The "Good Guys" have no assurances of being on the winning side. Who says we don't end up with a fascist dictatorship or, more realistically, a theocracy?


Revolution is one violent gang fighting another violent gang, producing a new boss that's same as the old boss. Instead, seriously consider ways of living and behaving which minimize your contact with and support for all gangs.


What gangs? Nobody I even know is involved with gangs or the mafia.

Oh, you're an anarchist, aren't you?


By "gang", I mean any organized group of people which systematically initiates force against others, or coerces them with the credible threat of force.

What "anarchist"? Nobody I even know is an anarchist.


You're a minarcho-proprietarian who considers government to be a gang. Yeah, that's actually worse than an anarchist. At least anarchists don't pretend they're not radicals.


I define a "gang" as any organized group of people which systematically initiates force against others, or coerces them with the credible threat of force. A gang violates my core moral principle, which is that relations among people should be by mutual consent, or not at all.

That I understand. Big chewy bloated terms like "minarcho anarcho radical yadda yadda" mean nothing to me.
