A. It is pretty well established that the US government spends billions of dollars a year on propaganda targeted at its own citizens B. It is pretty well established that drug users, and others who are not doing anything against libertarianism, are systematically hunted down and enslaved C. It is pretty obvious that writing letters is not going to stop this from happening D. I am upset about far more than the drug war. We are also taxed which is theft, we also have all of our rights routinely violated, people are sent to prison for looking at the wrong pictures, etc. I am upset because the government has restricted the freedom of and enslaved the entire population. E. Although I do not plan to go on a suicidal DEA killing rampage, I certainly would have no issue with pressing a magic button that causes all DEA agents heads to instantaneously explode. I mean, I can list a lot of things that the government tries to control. They try to control my ability to use drugs, they try to control what I can spend my money on by spending it "for" me, they try to restrict what I can look at, they try to restrict a fuck load of my life actually. This is all quite objective as well, you merely need to crack open a law book to see what all "they" are trying to control. Governments come and go year after year sure, when is the last time the USA had a president who was not part of the democrat or republican party? 1850! We have the choice between religious extremists and communists, and you make it seem like this means that we have freedom. Yay, we get to pick whether we are ass raped with a broom handle or a giant dildo! If we would prefer not to be sodomized we can of course write letters to our rapists asking them to please stop, I am sure they will listen. My unwavering crusade for anarchy is inseparable from my unwavering crusade for total freedom from oppression. It is not at all based on fear. The people who are afraid are the ones who support having a strong government, they are afraid of poverty and discrimination or of tolerance for those who go against their religion, and they need a powerful government to force others to conform to their political ideology. That is the difference between liberalism and conservatism versus libertarianism, liberals want to force people to accept others and force people to support others and conservatives want to force people to conform to their religious morality, whereas libertarians only want to force people to stop forcing other people to do shit! It is not possible to compare libertarianism to conservatism or liberalism because they are truly inverse ideologies, libertarianism is about freedom whereas liberalism and conservatism are just two different flavors of oppression. Also, I agree that there is no grand dictator, it is more like a council of power elites, encompassing the richest corporate leaders, the political aristocracy and their generals in military and law enforcement. The common man is given only an illusion of freedom, an illusion that you are experiencing to the point that it has caused you to be truly delusional. Sure corruption would be present even in a libertarian society. And the defenders of liberty would try their best to stomp it out. Corruption in the current system is not even considered corruption because corruption has essentially been legalized and normalized. Your adolescent relationship with the government is characterized by the fact that you seem to want to ask the government permission and hope that they listen to you. I don't want to ask the government for anything, and I hope that when they try telling me shit that a force arises that tells them restricting freedom is bad, and if they wish to continue trying to restrict freedom I hope that they are violently dealt with until they stop. I don't want to negotiate with terrorists. The current US style of government may be more similar to East German Stasi rather than Nazi Germany, but the Nazi analogy still holds. Yes kill the people who wish to oppress others. I don't have the patience or the desire to try to convince vicious criminals that they should stop being vicious criminals. The government has declared a war on drugs so why is it that all of the casualties are drug users and innocent bystanders? You seem to want us to be massacred while protesting our death and enslavement in a peaceful manner. I want the war on drugs to live up to its name, currently it is the massacre of drug users. The life of drug law enforcement officers do not matter to me. If there was a magic button I could press that resulted in the deaths of all hardcore supporters of the war on drugs, and I could press that button to end the drug war, the button would be pressed without a nanosecond of hesitation on my part. I do not hold these vicious criminals in higher regard than I hold myself, and I refuse to masochistically suffer at their hands like you seem so keen for us to do. Yes and then I can get all of the drug felons to vote for me....oh but wait drug felons are not allowed to vote. There goes your fantasy of a democracy.
