no_apologiesBut first, I will say that a lot has been going on with me. I don't really want to go into much detail about it, but I still want to get something off my chest, and prevent any gloomy and negative thoughts from coming in, and ruining my current good mood. Stay away, gloomies!
I want to gather the courage to say hi, open up some, and let a certain friend know that I'm hanging in there. I used to be close friends with this guy. I won't say his name, so I'll just give him an alias; Zee. Towards the end of last summer, he got careless, impulsive, and upset me terribly. He broke my trust, but, I know he's felt terrible about that too. He was never malicious or mean to me. Zee was just being impulsive and incredibly foolish. He knows, and after a little two months of not saying anything to him, he and I started to make amends. I already forgave myself, more than once. More recently, I have started forgiving him... Since Zee had been really stupid in an impulsive decision I didn't at all approve of, and betrayed me, I have to be as careful as I can possibly be. And, he knows how much he hurt me, and he has lost sleep over it at times.
I'm a really sensitive person with a big heart. Being rejected and/or betrayed by people I've deeply cared about is something I can't stand... It was really frustrating and upsetting for me during the times of coping and healing. Zee's not malicious, but, he is a broken man. He has PTSD, and his family is so dysfunctional that he can only feel like he's just friends with his mother. The rest of his family usually can't stand him. I asked Zee if he had any positive role models in growing up. He said there wasn't, and that may explain much on why he has problems in being close with anybody. He's also very introverted at times; like, he doesn't know what to say when someone goes over how they're feeling. He's not confident about his own emotions.
I sympathize, and I still care about him as a friend. It's just been tough for me to trust him more than I already have at this time; a little. He wouldn't know how to give me proper enough advice, but he understands enough on my side of things. He knows I've had a difficult time in wanting to say much to him.
I eventually want to let him know I'm okay, and that I've gone back into writing again. Ever since I created my newer blog account some months back, I've been trying my best to keep at it.
I also want to wait for one more week for a handful of crazy-stupid petty drama to settle down around some certain friends and me. There's this one guy I'm no longer friends with, because I learned how toxic he truly is, as a narcissist.
My friend Nate's confided to me about a certain man-child I could never get along with, now that I know he's very rude and immature. He disrespectfully used content from a live stream Nate hosted some time ago, as a personal vendetta against someone Nate and I have both known and communicated with.
I just want the drama shit to go away. Zee despises petty drama too, so, he'd understand on why it's taken me quite a while to send him any messages...
Before I go into the main topic that's been lingering on my mind, I do want to mention something cool. Another voluntaryist I've found a little while ago here on Dreamwidth, whose account name is uncanny_days. He and I already friended each other. So, I hope the both of us will keep coming back and interacting with each other on DW more in the near future! If you get a free account on this website, be sure to say hi to him too, not just me.
Consistency: Why and How That Matters
(When I get around to emailing the staff of Liberty.me, hopefully my account will be fixed. I can just delete the second blog, and copy/paste the following for another article on there.)
Last week, I had spent a lot of time in "schooling" two fools on Twitter. One of the sacred cows that statists cherish so much is taxation. They cry, taxes are the price we pay to live in a civilized society, and something like, just quit your bitching and pay your fair share!!
No one who mentally and emotionally cling so tightly to this political euphemism will ever attempt to explain why extortion and taxation are defined so similarly. Nah, they resort to special pleading, make up excuses, and reply with as much emotionalism as possible to get you to shut up about this inconvenient truth.
One of the two statists on Twitter, the younger of the two asked why my consent should matter. It seemed like he was defending societal bullying.
Why is it not okay for anyone to take any of your stuff without your consent?
Statist: Oh, you're saying all this because you love money. You must be greedy and selfish! If you don't like it, then you are free to leave.
1. This has nothing to do with whether or not free market liberatarians/anarcho-capitalists/voluntaryists love money. This is a matter of ethics, and principles. I don't appreciate having my earnings taken because of one of those "BECAUSE I SAID SO", or any other typical authoritarian excuses. If the funding is for a good cause, then why must coercion be necessary? This isn't civilized. This self-destructive, loony euphemism that distorts the perceptions of so many in the larger majority is the price we pay for gullibility, and failure in keeping people civilized.
Societal bullying is not civil.
Is it okay if some person (could be anybody - not just a politician or cop) takes what you earn without your consent to give to a good cause? Would it be okay for a homeless person to take your money because he or she is less fortunate in finance? Usually, there's a reason as to why the person is homeless in the first place.
Is it okay for somebody to come up and just take what you're about to eat for a meal, because he or she is hungrier than you are?
If your "good" ideas need to be forced onto someone else, then perhaps your ideas aren't worth much to begin with. Feeding the hungry, building and maintaining roads, providing education, and making sure there are jobs around to help save lives don't need to be forced! Good ideas don't at all require force.
Statist: B-But people are stupid, selfish, and inconsiderate! We need to have taxes, because not everyone will voluntarily pay for all those services and benefits.
What sane person doesn't want safe travel, a good opportunity to learn, and help when feeling sick or injured? If so many people out there are supposedly too stupid and selfish to be trusted to spend their own money responsibly, then why rely on some of them to spend your own money for you?
The parasitic, sociopathic rulers have done a LOT more wasteful spending, more than what any decent and average person does! How do training mountain lions on treadmills, spending on a mega blimp that was never used, gambling monkeys, and other such pointless wasteful spending matter when it comes to taking from your own income, without your consent?
The truth is, such people who work in the name for government and rule of law have little use for morals and ethics. Those who don't have it clear in their minds on what's right and wrong hopelessly depend upon their saviors.
2. Why is it imperative for peaceful people to have to move...to another tax farm? It won't change anything. "Consent of the governed" and the "social contract" are fables and myths that appeal to the emotion of those who believe that some people need to have higher claims on their own lives than they do themselves.
There's also extortion money you'd have to pay, along with having a passport, to leave the country.
These excuses that make it okay for everyone to impose everyone else to pay for what they need and want are what make double-standard necessities to exist when they should never have in the first place.
If it's not okay to be robbed blind by just anyone, then it shouldn't be okay for those propped up to "run the country" to rob you blind either.
Consistency matters. Reality is not subjective!
A human mind that tends to think in consistency and reason leads to this person being able to make clear and better choices in life. A demoralized society is doomed to be manipulated and divided in any direction to the destruction of it.
Those who emotionally project don't care for the truth, and don't want to think about the facts that I'd present. ("Who cares about what you think and feel?" "You're just not thinking right!" "You want to destroy your own country from the inside out!" "You just hate roads, the poor, schools, and hospitals!") They don't have any legit counter-points. They react out of irrational fear via Stockholm Syndrome whenever statists are told their own "government" is really organized crime. Cognitive dissonance puts their minds in a strong vice grip. The easily offended are easily manipulated.
Without consistency, you have nothing. Isn't it obvious that you can't trust a person who says one thing to do something completely opposite of that? You can't constantly lie and expect people to trust you.
Lies from anybody are what mostly everyone doesn't like. However, why does the larger majority need to believe in the harmful, self-destructive mythology that were taught to them since before they could learn to read? The best slaves are the ones who don't realize at all that they're slaves. Thoughtless and content slaves.
No, I'm not talking about the clearly seen and primitive sort of slavery, with people chained in shackles and forced to work under the threat of punishment. I'm talking about the more sophisticated and psychological form of slavery; mental and economic slavery, the lies and falsehoods as the invisible chains wrapped around their own brains.
Trust, clear communication, good choices, voluntary interactions, and healthy living all require consistency. Lack of consistency brings lack of interest. That also brings lack of respect, lack of love, and insecurity. Misery. Terror...
Never be afraid to examine yourself, and question everything. The more consistent and aware you are of what's really going on in this crazy backwards world, the lass likely you are vulnerable to be manipulated to obey and worship war-mongering, deceiving tyrants who only want more power, wealth, and resources for themselves. How aware you are defines how alive you are!

Date: 2019-05-02 03:50 pm (UTC)It's nice hearing from you. ^_^ Yeah, things are much improved now. I haven't had any gloomies in weeks, and I was able to message Zee that I've been doing okay. Petty drama has mostly died down, and is calm. I hope it dies down further.
I'll say hi to you again soon.
