The people who want to be left alone will always lose to the people who want to rule.

Either you rule, or you will be ruled. Choose.

I know. It’s impossible to maintain self-sovereignty when facing mob rule. All you can do is not be there if they try to govern you.

I lived in Colorado when it could still be considered a state full of individuals who just wanted to be left alone.

Then the Californians, New Yorkers, etc. descended and the independents were kicked to the curb.

New housing developments were almost always "covenant communities", i.e. HOAs with stand-alone homes. The increase in housing prices also led to the buying out of gun ranges, race tracks, etc.

Cities prided themselves on having government built and operated gyms, health clubs, open spaces, etc. More bike lanes started appearing. All things that government didn't need to do, but did because the newcomers wanted them.

Libertarians are living a pipe dream if they think they can ignore our leftist rulers and just live out their lives as they see fit.

If someone wants to live a "libertarian lifestyle" then he should first become a billionaire, and then bribe every necessary public official to look the other way when he's doing what he wants to.

That sounds ominous, what does it mean?

The Founders disagreed and won,
at least until now.

Like they used to say about Gernany, either you are on top of them or they are on top of you.
