bastionofliberty.blogspot.com/2016/12/parallels-that-instruct.htmlParallels That Instruct It might strike you that this is a strange time of year to be discoursing on anarchism, but the mood is upon me, and I’ve resolved to follow where it leads. Courtesy of Western Rifle Shooters, we have the following “What If” found on Twitter: It’s worth a moment of your time, and a bit of emphasis: How shall we distinguish, whether morally or practically, a State from an ascendant gang with a spatiotemporal preponderance of force? Concludes... A free man is one who acknowledges no temporal master. To the free man, the State, whatever adaptations he must make in light of its impingement on its existence, is merely a sometimes-unavoidable inconvenience. For he is aware that This, too, shall pass away. It might have a successor. That successor might be immediate or long delayed. Its policies might be identical to those before it or wholly different from them. All that truly matters to the free man is the nature and magnitude of the attendant inconvenience. For these reasons I propose that the question asked by the image above must be answered “Yes, that’s exactly what it is.” Serve no master but God. Exhort those around you to do likewise. And above all else, Keep moving. Survive.
