RE: The absurdity of "The consent of the governed".
I totally agree. Last week in class my professor stated that the law is valid because of the social contract, but after that he went on to criticise every law that originated from an ideology he didn't agree with.. What the hell. I didn't speak up because he still has to grade my work and because I didn't want to make enemies on the first day of the new year...
Good post. Greetings from a fellow voluntaryist!
Hi rvanstel, thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's nice to see another voluntaryist comment on here. I understand because I'm also in college, and there were some times when I felt like speaking up but didn't because it didn't seem worth the trouble at the time, and like you mentioned, I didn't want to get on anyone's bad side.
I'm slowly trying to get over my shyness though, and in the meantime, I still have discussions regarding voluntaryism with people online haha.
Oh I'm not shy or afraid to talk about liberty. The thing is that I'm afraid it will impact my grades. But sometimes it's just hard to think like a statist again haha.
