Governments love to create problems and then impose more tyranny under the guise of being the sole and necessary solution. This is one of the ways that governments around the world continue to grow in size and power.

The only possible solution to tyranny, is liberty. Don't be fooled by the propaganda and lies.

Focus on exposing tyranny and expanding liberty instead. (◕‿◕)♡ #Voluntaryism

Terrorism

The U.S. government has, for many years now, tried to use “terrorism” as a buzzword to garner support for intervention into the lives of others at home and abroad, especially since 9-11.

This boogeyman, the “War on Terror,” is fundamentally a farce as it is the government itself that causes the destabilization and terrorizes people around the world.

The U.S. government has overthrown many regimes, including regimes in Iran, Guatemala, Congo, the Dominican Republic, South Vietnam, Brazil, Chile, Iraq, and Libya.

The U.S. government has also armed terrorist groups, giving weapons to the Taliban during the cold war and arms to ISIS to fund Syrian rebels.

The intervention by the U.S. government in the name of stopping “terrorism” has lead to millions of deaths, with more than 500,000 civilian deaths from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan alone.

If any other country did the same to U.S. citizens as the U.S. government did to foreign countries, it would be considered democide.

Climate Change

Whether it’s warming or cooling, climate change has been a government boogeyman for gaining control.

Regardless of your views on whether climate is affected materially by humans, those in power make dire predictions to justify taxation for their manipulative schemes.

Those in power do not hold themselves to the same fearmongering, and the hypocrisy is obvious.

The U.S. Government’s Department of Defense is the world’s largest polluter with more than 4,127 installations spread across 19 million acres on American soil.

The U.S. government also has some 900 bases in over 130 nations, where millions of personnel travel by sea and air each year.

With such a global spread, it is easy to see how moving armies of people across the world to detonate weapons makes the U.S. Government the single most culpable actor in emissions and pollution.

The politicians promoting Malthusian fear are themselves living in hypocrisy, flying in private jets, living in large homes, and leaving large carbon footprints behind.

The fact of the matter is that when it comes to fears about pollution and climate dramatics, the government is the peak example of, “Do As I Say, Not As I Do.”

And the solution proposed by government, emissions taxes, exemplifies that those in power are less interested in being the change they want to see but, rather, want to gain for themselves an economic advantage.

The advocates for climate taxation want to steal from the middle class while enriching themselves through their own not-for-profits, which use cronyism to advocate carbon credit regulation.

Monopolies

The fear of “monopolies” is one of the most hypocritical boogeymen proposed by government, as government is itself a monopoly on legal violence.

The reality is that monopolies are not a material problem outside the use of violent force, as people are free to choose alternatives and make their own products if government does not intervene.

The government furthers monopolization through special regulatory status with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Without government creating forcible monopolies, people would be free to create and build new solutions to problems.

The U.S. government, under the guise of incentivizing innovation, actually creates artificial business monopolies that prevent innovation in the market by shutting down anyone who tries to make use of a registered invention without permission.

When government tries to scare people into thinking that business monopoly is some evil that must be eradicated, remember it is the government that is both a monopoly itself and it is government that creates violent business monopolies with regulatory licensing and racket protection.
