RE: There is no Greater Scourge than Government
This is a fine, basic intro-level scribble that includes most of the required soundbites and clickbaity phrases, but I'm sorry I don't see how this is worth $75 in comparison to some of the other much lengthier, in-depth analytical treatises on anarchy as a philosophy and psychological state of mind. I just see no new ideas or concepts here. But upvoted for the passion which is obvious.
Hey Sarah.Interesting opinion...but I don't really see the point of your comment. Why even mention that you up voted for my passion? That is kind of backhanded. Don't you think? Nonetheless, let me respond.
The point of this article was to help introduce people to the ideas and get them involved in thinking about the depredations of government. It was not meant to be an in depth analysis or long piece fraught with jargon.
And not everything that is in depth automatically deserves high up votes. Not even my own pieces. I have written original material on my blog with new ideas and longer analysis, and those didn't do as well as this one. I have one piece that moves into territory that this piece never touched, and it only made 65 bucks. Some people just like soundbites or smaller, more palatable pieces. And personally, I enjoy and have a knack for writing succinct articles that hit home.
And if people like them, why shouldn't they be worth 75 bucks...or maybe 5k?
I have found that most people prefer to read a blog that is 500 words or less (definitely under 1000). I contribute to a little blog and I, along with other contributors, used to write much lengthier posts until we realized our shorter ones were getting more attention and shares.
