The Monetary Paradox: Voluntaryism Is Always Hard To Sell... Unlike Armageddon
Competition and the competitive mindset is detrimental to any civilization, yet a vast majority seems to be okay with it and always ready to walk into the "same" trap over and over and thus accepts to be the enablers of their own demise.
Voluntarysim is a neat concept but just there will always be bigger fish eating up small ones
The word "voluntaryism" implies non-coercive principles because fighting what is deemed "evil" requires a bigger "evil" to be applied. And so on. The world has been marching toward its day of reckoning sold to the masses as the only way to buy Peace. Military budgets are skyrocketing on a planetary scale. Yet a vast majority is stubbornly more interested in football, celebrities, crypto-speculation and living beyond their means.
Anybody speaking of voluntaryism is deemed as an utopian and the principles of non-coercion trashed because the Truth is way too painful to realize. So buying into the Armageddon scenario, hoping that the enemies will be destroyed first and quickly, must be endorsed no matter what.
Doomsday on screen: How Hollywood & the Pentagon combine to sell new ‘axis of evil’ (RT.COM)
Truth does not sell well and never will. Why, would you ask? Simply because Truth deals with the ego and its own cherished delusions and points to a radical inner change first. As a matter of fact, the world will not change until a majority grasps that expecting the environment to change translates a lack of personal responsibility, not only for the state of world affairs but their own very existence.
Reality Is Realistic: Why Is 'Voluntaryism' A Philosophical Axiom
Politicians are mere subterfuges and obviously do not give a damn about killing billions of humans in the next word war that is now taking shape and may well engulf us all ... sooner than we think. Indeed Armageddon was a fast and easy sell, and which always justifies The staggering cost of ‘Peace'
'The orchestrated hostility toward Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea protects the $1,000 billion annual budget of the military/security complex by convincing the American public that the US is threatened by enemies. It also keeps alive Democratic Party hopes that Trump can be removed from office, and it has prevented President Trump from normalizing relations with Russia. I have emphasized for some time that Washington’s gratuitous and aggressive actions against Russia and the constant barrage of false accusations against Russia and its government have convinced Russia that Washington is planning a military attack. There is nothing more reckless and irresponsible than to convince a nuclear superpower that you are preparing an attack on them. One would think that such irresponsible and reckless behavior would have the citizenry aroused and the media reporting the risk. Yet, there is only silence. It is more important to the media whether NFL players stand for the national anthem and that some male politicians show sexual interest in women in inappropriate ways. Insouciant America is walking into Armageddon. Read more: Paul Craig Roberts - America is Walking Into Armageddon

THE MONETARY PARADOX: Why does a money free activist beg for money? Why doesn't she demonetize her posts? Hypocritical you might say? Yes indeed.
And no voluntarism is not hard to sell. Voluntary markets are the best markets in the world, otherwise known as the free market. People voluntarily trading goods leads to increase in living standards. How are they going to trade good without a mutually agreed upon unit of exchange? Having an agreed upon money allows people to price things so they can determine whether or not they are using their resources efficiently.
@earthcustodians,
Salutations! JaiChai here.
Yet another thoughtful post. Thanks.
As I write this comment, I am on a dinner date at a local restaurant/bar/videoke. Your post made me pause and reflect on some of my personal distractions (e.g., alcohol, restaurant food, shallow socializing, cheap entertainment etc.).
Well, at least the food is good, my girlfriend is sweet and the days of being a soldier and following orders (of which, many were dubious, yet not to the degree that I could justifiably question their status as a "valid order" without the risk of career suicide) are long over for me.
Always enjoy your posts.
If applicable, Happy Holidays.
Personally, by virtue of practicing Buddhism (obviously not in a devout way - by any means), I don't need a holiday to be kind to others.
Namaste, my friend.
JaiChai
