1. Ethics for Psychopaths

Stefbot | If a program does not achieve its stated goal, but still continues, then it is meeting its unstated goal. The social contract is a voluntary concept, the state is a violent enforcement. So the state is both voluntary and violent in the same breath at the same time… One of the marks of a sociopath and a psychopath is to contradict themselves in the same sentence with no reference to that contradiction.

2. The Nurture May Differ, But The Nature Does Not.

ZeroGov.com | When using the Socratic jackhammer against statists, it’s usually not more than a couple blows of the anvil before we arrive at what the state actually is–a group of individuals exercising the use of force against other individuals. Ultimately, this is the core of the state’s power; the use of force to maintain its order. This is a trait shared by all governments, from republics and liberal democracies, to totalitarian dictatorships and oppressive oligarchies. At their cores, that is, at the foundations of these differing political systems, the use of force is the fundamental premise upon which their theories are built.

7. Bureaucrats Keep Us Safe?

FreemanOnline | One of the Holy Writs of Progressivism is that government rules and regulations keep us safe.

FreeDomainRadio.com | In many fairy tales, there lives a terrible beast of stupendous power, a dragon or a basilisk, which tyrannizes the surrounding lands.
