“What we are doing isn’t working. If you’ve got a better idea, I’m game.”
Actually, I do. it boils down to freeing your mind and your ass will follow.
Ultimately, we have to accept the fact that most people like the security of being told what to do and when to do it. Probably a huge majority. So once you accept that most people really don’t want to be free, you quit focusing on macro solutions and big ideas to free people who really don’t want it in the first place and would resent the freedom if they had it.
A better idea is to focus on “what will make me amd the people I care about freer?” Once you look at things from that vantage point, you start noticing the other people, the few, who thirst for freedom and have some good and practical ideas. And you also come up with your own ideas that are relevant to your own situation.
I appreciate the posts. I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but the talk of us doing things that will make us free at the local level kind of leaves me flat.
Perhaps a person can purchase and live off the land, but there will still be taxes to pay. And if the EPA gets it’s way, you may not own that land very long.
Perhaps I’d understand your take on this better if you would be a bit more specific.
