So first starters, there is no science or really any hard proof of what I'm saying is true, I've just noticed a trend for the last 10+ years.

I'm overall not a Trump fan. I think he has done damage that we still all feel today (everything in 2020 was wrong) but I can't deny from 2017-2019 I benefited from the economic policies enacted during his term. January 2017 I was unemployed, drove my car from HS still, was living at home, my social life was stagnated. But in 2019 I had a well paying job, I had a brand new car with all the extras, I moved out and I was killing it socially. Now I'm struggling. I'm still on my own but I calculated my finances and if things don't change I'm back living with my parents come years end, my car is still running good but since it's 6 years old I'm seeing the early signs of wear and tear that I have to pay for everytime I get an oil change, my job is a chore and they've cut back on raises, and my social life is slowly falling apart.

All my friends are true blue dems. They were unemployed or had shit jobs from 17-19, they all drove their old cars too, none lived on their own, etc. Now they all have better jobs than me, they each bought new cars and one is getting married and lives on his own with his fiance.

Maybe I'm bugging but if you're "right wing" economically, you're struggling now. But if you believe in Kensianyan economics and believe endless printing of money is no problem, things seem to be going good.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Also does "people" mean only citizen? Do non-citizen not have the same rights as citizen?

Throughout our long history, humanity has traveled and surpassed various stages that have marked immeasurable social transformations.

James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg, who wrote in 1997 the book called “The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the Transition to the Information Age”, define these imposing social transformations, which often require several centuries, as “megapolitics”.

One of the most recent megapolitical transformations was the one that marked the transition from the feudal system to the current system of nation-states. The main factor that over five centuries determined the end of the feudal system was the so-called gunpowder revolution... which marked the start of the "mercantilism age".

Technology was again one of the primary factors for the megapolitical transition to the industrial society, which by the end of the 18th century saw the definitive birth and establishment of the nation-state. Steam-powered and electric machines were a huge incentive for urbanization. This led to mass urbanization and emergence of new centers of power, both economic and political, especially due to the new needs for public representation by workers and the new middle class.

Digital technology, according to Davidson and Rees-Mogg, has marked the beginning of a new megapolitical transformation that will inevitably lead to the overcoming of the industrial society and its institutions, such as the nation-state.

Not everyone think the future is bright for liberty. For example, Ted Kaczinsky was extremely critical of technology. And then, there is the almost cynical and realistic Cypherpunk movement...

I delve into all this in an article, which you can find it here: Gunpowder, Cryptography, and Sovereign Individuals.

Let me know what you think!

How can we extremists - lovers of freedom and non-violence - hope to create a community of people who share the same principles, if the whole world is occupied by armed thugs calling themselves nation-states and there is nowhere to escape?

History teaches us that it is not easy, even if there are a few success stories. In some cases, it was just the result of a fortunate series of events, as in the case of Cospaia — the anarchist italian Republic.

In others, it was the result of the colonization of new unexplored territories, as in the case of North America, which finally became independent from the United Kingdom in 1776.

But today the world is very different. Still, not everything is lost. Indeed — perhaps for the first time since the birth of the industrial age and the nation-state, we might have the tools to completely overturn this paradigm and create real libertarian communities. To see how, let us briefly analyse together the thoughts of Timothy May, one of the founders of the Cypherpunk movement and the author of the Crypto-Anarchist Manifesto...

Men who own land have a stake in the community. In the U.S is evident that women constantly vote left (left is not always bad) but they do not just vote left, they vote for a more authoritarian and bigger government. If only men were allowed to vote then in every election the conservative candidate would win. Downside to this is of course that drug laws would become more harsh (fuck you republicans, you do not believe in liberty at all) but at least the economy would be sound, taxes would be kept low and gun rights would be protected (hopefully, not like the NRA has ever actually protected gun rights). Anyways I do not even own land and I would not have a problem giving up my right to vote.
