➽ This doesn’t make sense. Why can’t you vote for a libertarian candidate. If nothing else it gets you closer to your agenda.
Valid question. Even more so from your perspective. So... Serious in depth answer, which also forces me to think additionally about the issue beyond what I have thus far. In this case, you are actually helping me refine my presentation. And as a Boomer with CRS starting to debilitate me, to help me memorize my own thoughts. (Laugh with me at me.)
A person is free to live at liberty or a person is a slave. There is no in between.
YDOM! You don't own me!
From this position, You don't own me - you don't have a right to rule me, it logically follows: This lack of a right to rule anybody else applies to every human on the planet. Thus: I don't own you - I don't have a right to rule you. No human owns any other human - No human has a right to rule any other human.
Any contrary claim is a gaslighting claim made deliberately or ignorantly, attempting to hide the violation of the allegedly owned human's human rights.
As an owner of myself, I have the highest right to rule myself. These are the attendant rights that's attached with ownership of anything. If anybody has a higher right to rule my property than I do, then I can't really be said to own my property, can I?
I own my body. I own my rights. I own all my other justly acquired property.
Santa Claus is a fictitious entity. As such a fiction, Santa Claus does not exist, yet we see Santa in malls every holiday season. How? All the humans representing Santa and acting as if they are representing something that is not a fiction, that's how.
I am choosing Santa Claus to highlight certain absurdities.
Santa wrote and promulgated some rules that you are required to obey or Santa will hurt you... And one set of Santa's rules is you are required to cough up a sizeable portion of your compensation for labor, your pay for working, to Santa, and your employer is required by Santa to deduct that portion of your pay and send it to Santa...
Santa Claus (more precisely, those representing Santa and acting as his agents) believe Santa owns us. Santa (more precisely, those representing Santa and acting as his agents) believe Santa has a higher right to rule us and our property than we do. Too many of those being "ruled" believe the same. 12 years of gaslighting in public school will inculcate that false belief.
None of those people representing Santa Claus own or have attendant rights of ownership over any body else's property. If no human on the planet owns any other human on the planet, then such ownership, authority, or right to rule can NOT be delegated to any other entity on the planet, be it any human or any fictitious entity.
Voting can only delegate authority over the voter making such a vote. Voting to elect some human to the position of Santa's rule maker and writer does NOT imbue that human with a right to rule me. The vote of any voter can NOT delegate a right to rule me to any entity. Period. Full stop.
I expect y'all to recognize the Santa BS for what it is. I expect many of the rest of you to fail to recognize the State-Government BS as the exact same BS as the Santa BS.
I've previously written about voting on my website. Links upon request, thanks to fecalbook's censorship.
I refuse to vote now that I know the entire voting process is corrupt because it is based on inculcated false beliefs.
By voting, even for the attempted push towards liberty as the LP's claim to do, you are sending the message that Santa and his helpers have a right to rule.
“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”
― Frederick Douglass
