I notice a lot of people say that things like racism, public health, equality, etc. shouldn't be political issues. As if everyone should agree certain issues shouldn't be partisan or political. But when you demand that government solves racism, or cures covid, you make it a political issue. If you don't want society to divide into political tribes for every societal issue, then take responsibility and do something about it yourself. It's unlikely government will help any of these issues and it guarantees partisan bickering. Using speech and direct action (not indirect action by voting) is far more effective and more moral than using state violence to achieve your goals. Politics is toxic. So if you hate every issue being politicized, stop participating in it and demanding that government solve our problems. #anarchist #voluntaryism #libertarian #politics #government

The idea that the state is some institution that everyone agrees to and is for the benefit of society is the most amazing twist of truth perhaps ever to exist. The pro-state propaganda is so deeply ingrained in every aspect of our lives: education, entertainment, media, etc. But the state is an institution of force used to control society for the benefit of the ruling class and its bed buddies. Don't sugarcoat the nature of the state. It's aggression. It's force. It's violence. Happy birthday to the great Robert Higgs. • • • • • #roberthiggs #anarchy #libertarian #voluntaryism #quotes
