Government is a gun. The best way to keep someone from shooting it at people is to take its bullets away. The same government that gives you power over others can give others power over you. The obvious solution is to make government small and weak enough that its power is limited and cannot be easily abused. A strong government will never stay in the same hands forever. You might wield it one day only to have it turned on you. The solution is to make that gun as harmless as possible so that it’s not too dangerous to be pointed at you.

I would never trust government with any power I would fear if wielded by my greatest enemy.

We need more right wing authoritarians in government who fight to conserve traditional values, not libertarians who subscribe to "small government" and give away the store on government power to progressives who want to destroy the nuclear family and keep our borders open.



I don't 100% agree but I'm getting to the same place about libertarianism and how ideological neutrality (on an American L-R spectrum) won't win this war.

I think it's amusing that after years of being moderate cucks you and I just might evolve into the most radical conservatives on this board

I completely agree that if BLM protested a Trump win at the Capitol in the same way, conservatives would have called them terrorists and said "play stupid games..." The flip side is the press would have covered for them as a "mostly peaceful protest," no one would be prosecuted, and there would be marches for someone killed in the same fashion as Ashli Babbitt.

Democrats did and do protest at the capitol constantly. The protests during the Kavinaugh confirmation hearings in particular were far more raucous than 1/6.

There is much I would change about our laws, justice system, and methods of policing in this country, but that does not mean that I believe we should have no police.


You sure took that to an extreme...

This entire forum is proof positive that this is 100% true. Just watching the snowflake conservatives throw hissyfits on this page over mundane things while claiming 1/6 didn't go far enough seals the deal. Conservatives are proto-facsists now. There is no GOP, only the trump cult and everyone else.


You mean the "insurrection" where police held the door open for people to enter and then arrest them months later for entering? Which side did that again? I forgot.

Wipe your face. You got bullshite all over it.

By “authoritarian” do they mean we’re not buying their SJW Marxist BS? If so then I’m an authoritarian all day every day.

Sure.

This is like listening to some lefty worry aloud that we're one election away from A Handmaid's Tale thanks to the right, while simultaneously ignoring that we are currently in the prequel to 1984 run by the left.

None of this is new...we watched it in real time last summer as they stood in front of actual roaring fires and declared them mostly peaceful protests or the literal taking by force of multiple city blocks for 10+ days as a summer of love, then a few months later declaring what took place or January 6th to be the biggest a front to democracy in the modern world and a clear insurrection attempt.

I support the pulling of funds if someone is trying to indoctrinate. Give people the facts and get the frick out of the way to make their own decision. frick you.

Voters are the bullets in that gun. We're just choosing which gun we want to be in.

The left wing gun or the right wing gun.

Vice news prefers drug dealing and gang shootouts to so-called right wing authoritarianism(which is really law and order).

I hope he does.

Any educational institution that teaches marxism and communism as a good thing deserves and needs to be canceled.

95% of the population is Authoritarian, maybe more. They just differ in how they want the authority to control those that disagree with them. It is quite sad really.
