In for a penny?

This site may or may not be for you. As I asked in my introduction to this site over at [redacted]…

“This is why I need to know, if we are going to continue further, whether or not you seek to be a thug or a thief against me.”

If your fully-developed, finally-decided answer to that is “yes,” then you can take a hike now. This blog was not meant for you, and you won’t understand a bit of it anyway. For that matter, as I asked then, what are you doing reading a blog in the first place? How, or why, are you even on a computer? Thugs and thiefs are preoccupied with thuggery and theft, so what do you hope to get here? Why would you even be on the Internet? You can’t steal anything here, and everything’s for free anyway…/why/ would you steal information? The only kind of information of value to a thief is personal stuff like credit card numbers, or maybe people’s travel plans. Is that why you’re here? If so, then like I say, take a hike.

That should leave only people who, for whatever reason, seek to think and understand. Most of you won’t like this place either! You see, you say you want to think and understand, but you don’t mean it at all. Many of you, maybe even most these days, are even worse than the thugs and thieves who took a hike. You won’t even do that much—you’re so overwhelmed with fear that you can’t even do what you (falsely) believe will allay your fear. At least the thief has nerve!

You, you have agents do it for you–the thuggery and the theft, I mean–and pretend that therefore it’s not you doing it. You pretend this while you figure out which agents are going to get which money from whom, and what manner of theft would feel best to you…which ultimately translates to, “what will allay my fear the most.”

So I have no time for you, either. Your errors are so basic and all-encompassing that they simply can’t be dealt with at the political level. To you it’s a vote and if you can pragmatically round up the largest mob to steal and pillage, while somehow allowing you to feel that it’s not you doing it, then that’s just the cat’s meow for you. And then you look around puzzled, trying to figure out why there are mobs all around you, stealing and pillaging.

You’re welcome to try and learn, but for that you should go to rationalegoism.com, where both the epistemic and ethical foundations of indarchy are to be discovered. You can rest assured, your problems are likely epistemological. You have no business here, since here it’s all about the facts, and honesty about the facts. You won’t be able to stomach reading about what you’ve done, so strengthen your mind up, over at the other site.

That leaves the rest of you…those who don’t want to steal from me or try to overpower me. You folks, you are welcome here, but you’d better be prepared to understand the mistakes you’ve made. See, you’re (mostly) not all that different from the commie-libs that I just sent out to learn. You too believe that what I have can be taken, as long as it’s taken for “good” purposes.

How do I know this? Because it’s ubiquitous, that’s how. The odds are so overwhelming in our current society, that I can take it to the bank that nearly every reader believes in the sanctity of the Rule of Law, the equity of a progressive tax system, and that ultimate wonder of all…Democracy. Maybe not all three, though even that would be exceptional.

Your problem, too, is epistemological. But at least you want to understand, and at least you know the evils of collectivism and statism. And most importantly, you’re not seeking to steal from me or trying to overpower me! For that, you are welcome here and I hope I can do plenty to assist you in finding the actual path to righteousness.

This place is not for rookies, and it’s focussed on Americans. While young and old are welcome to read, the content will be very mature and there may be an occasional epithet. And non-Americans are especially welcome, because sanity in other lands is even rarer than it is here. Hey, you might even be a collectible in your own land!

Please do not misunderstand the inability to comment here. I am genuinely interested in your opinions and what you think, and I especially want to hear your stories and viewpoints. But as I already explained, that is not the province of politics and when it comes to politics, you don’t have a say in my life.

The great news is—neither do I have one in yours!
