Land is pretty crap actually.
Bitcoiner should avoid maximalist attitude, its harmful in many ways similar to monolithic religion.
You live on land or fiat or Bitcoin?
Let's make it simple: I don't like governments. I don't really want to be governed at all.
What I like is unconfiscatable sound money.
Very enlightened answer. Let's boycott government and starting with internet. They invented this, Agree?
You can't completely live a government-free life obviously but you can get close.
Why do you think they are trying to ban every anonymous payment method there is? (like cash)
I am not saying we should kill the politicians. I am again, hedging my position. Because that's my main algorithm in life. Always hedge. Fuck zerohedge.
Good to see you are changing goal post, i don't mind that. Actually i was expecting the same.
Anyway for the record, government is essential part of the society without them we are fucked if anyone disagree then i am ready to argue all night. Even the guy droping you merits or even jjg .
No need to worry, JSRAW. I am not going to bombard you with walls of text on that topic, because even if i might not agree with you regarding some of the details regarding which aspects of the government are essential or how the people might arrive at consensual government, don't count me as some fantasy-landia believer that getting rid of all government is actually a goal that is reasonable or meaningful in a complex society. Yeah, it might work on an unpopulated island or some other desolate location, but when you have a multitude of people there are going to be a decent number of justifications for government for a variety of reasons that are quite difficult to list out, and also since government is a product of consensus, no one person is really able to define those kinds of resolutions of when the government should be budding in and when they should be budding out, and even though I am using "they", I could just as well be saying "us" because I am not even saying that governments are a third party.
And in any case if you really know what's the problem with the government. Why don't you try to change it ? But yeah bitching about something is free, we don't need any spine for that and trying to change something takes shitload amount of work.
no argument from this cat, even though everyone should have a right to complain about various aspects of the government and figure out ways in which s/he might attempt to contribute to changing whatever aspects might need fixing.. and frequently there are many things like that, and lots of differences of opinions about whether something needs fixing or not.
Let me break a bubble for you. every one can live their own life without gov but it takes hard work and tones of sacrifice, which none of us here in WO are capable of atleast in longer run.
You never know about WO... you might be interacting with some folks who are very involved in government in various ways, and maybe even that fucktard, the donald, is participating in this thread, not that he serves as a good example of a representative of the government, but he serves as a good representative of himself and someone who should not be given power over public interests and public goods.... Anyhow, my only point is that each of us in this thread is empowered to do various governmental things or to express our concerns and sure some people might be more capable than others or even more deserving of serving as a public official.
About why they are banning : gov or human civilization is scared about anything which is new to them so no brainer. It might be helpful if we can look at all case as chessboard or may be read human history in details.
Some people get elected to government or appointed, and their goals are to destroy government... so there is that.

You are fired. You are no longer authorized to speak on behalf of the WO peeps... especially if you fail/refuse to properly use quotes.
Reminds me of a lil story. You know how sometimes people will sometimes say, if you work hard, it is o.k. if you do not achieve your objectives, so in that sense there is some value to the fact that you worked hard and you put in a lot of effort. For example in school, you might get a decent grade on a project because you the teacher (person giving the grade) determined that you had worked hard, even though your answers were not right and/or the quality of your work was not very good.
I remember one time, maybe about 15 years ago, I had a boss who was lecturing me about some of my recent work and how a project was going, and maybe even questioning some of the decisions that I had made along the way of carrying out my work projects, and he said to me that he does not care how hard that I worked on such project, the main thing that he wanted was a good product and that I had made all of the right choices along the way... hahahahaha He said it much more eloquently, and it was based on the circumstances, yet I was impressed with new ideas and I will always remember that statement because it seemed to have gone against some of my prior ideas about the value of working hard, even if NOT successful.
Since then I have used that statement on others when I had assessed their work product as being defective in various ways.
I am not in the debate mood. I leave you to JJG.
Imma sleepy.
I am sure when I wake up in the morning I'll see at least 5 new WO pages.
Fuck the governments, good night.
Hahahahaha
Good and well reasoned points.
