Hi zool, thanks for the reply. Of course I believe having clean air and water is important, and capitalism doesn't force companies to be irresponsible. They are free to figure out better ways to dispose

Thank you!

You're being too kind in my opinion. :P

Are you saying that the video resonated with you, or that you hated it?

Every government is a ruling class. Why do you believe it's impossible in the US but not in other places? The only difference between the ruling class in the US and other places is the amount of oppression

Thanks for sharing your experience too! I understand how you feel, because I've been that way too out of impatience for a truly voluntary society, which makes it tempting to settle for more freedom instead

I don't believe that Hobbes's interpretation of "the state of man" is accurate, because most already believe it's wrong to attack others and don't want to. Also, it's not in their self-interest

Hi migliorino21, thanks for the reply! My answer would be to get people to understand that we can still have protection without governments, and that people should be free to live their lives however they

That's an interesting point! I think that has something to do with it, but I believe we still naturally want to be free to make our own choices and decisions to be able to experience life how we want.

rocking-dave, problems will always exist in any society. It doesn't mean we should force others to solve them for us. If you believe in the concept of government and authority, you believe politicians

Feel better!

Well put! I just started becoming interested in Bitcoin myself and agree that it has changed the world forever.

Thanks! I'll try haha.

Yes, I'm advocating for people not to vote, because it legitimizes anything and everything politicians pass as law. I don't want to empower a system that operates under the idea that those in government

Exactly, which is another good reason not to vote.

Hi rvanstel, thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's nice to see another voluntaryist comment on here. I understand because I'm also in college, and there were some times when I felt like speaking up but

Hi everittdmickey, I'm not sure what you mean by your question. What do I propose for what? If you mean doing away with government, then I just suggest for people to not vote and to stop believing politicians

Hi okutavio, only part of your comment got posted. Do you mind submitting it again?
