Statism is weakness of charactersteemCreated with Sketch.

Supporting government, and believing it is "necessary", is a sign of weak character. Moral weakness, perhaps-- ethical weakness, for certain.

Recently I saw where someone was told to "go live in the woods" when he said he believed all human interactions should be voluntary and this was why he didn't "do" politics. Really.

So the statist believes that in order to live among other humans, you must believe in molesting each other. Statism is insane, as well as being unethical.

How can a person with a decent character believe that way? They can't.

If you believe in governing others, you need to grow up. You need to face the reality that you are the one who needs to isolate yourself from society. You are the one with the serious psychological issues; not those you scoff at.

I agree with you. People's beliefs are basically different.

I think the governments where suppose to act on behalf of the people, that we know is not the case these days.

It's about power and ego, that it's better we dissolve the idea of centralized system of governance run by humans and let laws be written in code in a block chain environment.

We don't have to worry anymore about corruption by those we swore in to do our deeds, which they usually don't in the current context.

Are we speaking of no governing bodies or just a loose republic of states?

Govern yourself. Leave everyone else unmolested.

Then whom is left to settle disputes that individuals can not come to terms on?

Friends, family, private arbitration, etc.

I take what you´re implying is temporary when necessary governing bodies are your preference? Going without would leave the most powerful crooked people to asert control limitless... kind of like the politicians are doing now!

Right. This is just the "But the warlords would take over" argument against liberty. And, as you pointed out, they always do under government anyway-- and then make it "illegal" to defend ourselves and our property from them. I can do without that.

From the current scenario the bad guys trying to be government is my main thought besides the mediator aspect. Only reason is some people need to be told what to do.

Great writing skills @dullhawk... I always appreciate your content... Someone said that..

I totally agree with you @dullhawk.

The government pays its subject with bad for their obedience.

The government is bad!

I totally agree we should govern ourselves.The sad fact is that most people see government as a good thing that is there to help us.they are so blind and indoctrinated they don't see the extortion,mass murder, corruption etc...
