RE: Veterans for Liberty? Not as Much as They Say.
Soldiers obey politicians. Soldiers serve politicians. Soldiers are paid with money stolen by politicians. You can't shift the blame to the politicians. The government composed of these politicians does not represent the populace despite the myth of democracy. Serving politicians is not serving society. How could I take honor or pride in serving under such usurpers and liars? People fight and die for many things. This does not confer automatic nobility upon their causes. It is used by the politicians as propaganda to buy your loyalty.
And you fail to counter my observation that soldiers are conditioned to obedience, and fail to honestly defend the freedoms they claim to have fought to protect. If you did fight for my freedom, stop patting yourself on the back because I speak freely, and start fighting the system that prohibits everything it does not stifle under taxation and regulation. Fight the police who abuse their authority. Fight the endemic corruption of the political class.
It was no means patting myself on the back it was simply stating a fact of how I feel. If you hate the U.S. so bad then leave and go to another county that you find follows your ideas more. From the way you talk I am sure that Iran, Iraq, Venezuela,China or some other county would love for you to go there and speak like you do here. Go over and see how they treat you with your voice of free speech and see what it gets you there.
From where I stand you have no idea what the military really teaches soldiers and you blow and brag about corruption and you have no idea except what the media tells you. You are sounding more like the terrorist cells we fought so hard against that stifles the freedoms we have in many countries. You are preaching about fighting the government and police, tell me what have you done to fight against what you are preaching about here. You talk a good game but I want you to show me not try to blow smoke up my ass, as that is all I see you doing here.
You are being incoherent. Ergo decedo is a fallacy for good reason. Terrorism is the use of violence against a civilian population for political means, which is exactly the opposite of the non-aggression principle I espouse, but identical to what "legitimate" governments do every day. Military basic training includes aspects that are identical to cult brainwashing techniques. And as for what I do, you know damn well that being a free individual is a felony.
