In the past I have pondered whether it is ethical to accept “welfare” from government, but I have never doubted that it is dangerous. I have compared it to milking a grizzly bear.

So, You Don’t Want a Gun
Here’s a shocker: If you don’t want a gun, I don’t want you to have one. Why would I encourage you to carry something you don’t want, and may not want to learn to handle safely? That doesn’t help anyone.
Presidential Derangement Syndrome
Donald Trump was not the dawn of the corrupt, disgusting president. I get tired of statists of the “left” pretending he was. Their most recent darling, Obama, was just as bad, but he was corrupt and disgusting in ways they liked so they ignored it. And still do.
“Leave”; To Where?
Supposedly government gains the imaginary quality known as “authority” through “consent of the governed”. But you aren’t allowed to not consent without pulling up stakes and moving somewhere else; somewhere which will be claimed by some other gang of thugs.
“The Right To Not Be Shot”
The thing is, your right to not be shot doesn’t give you the right to violate other people’s rights, and when you do, they have the right to shoot you. They may choose not to, but you’re a fool to count on it.
Taking Make-Believe Too Far
Lawmakers are like authors of speculative fiction. They create imaginary worlds in their minds, then put them on paper for others to read. But their worlds–their words—are still only works of fiction.
Anti-Gun Laws Good for Criminals
Anti-gun laws make criminals safer. “Gun free zones” are gun free only until some evil loser decides to go on a killing spree and chooses a target where he knows he’ll be free to kill. When that happens there are suddenly too few guns; the only guns present being in the wrong hands. This is mandated by law. It makes the killer’s cruel task easier and deadlier, and doesn’t boost the safety of the kids or teachers.
Points of Ignorance
I don’t expect a person to be an expert in everything, but when you are completely ignorant in some area, you have a responsibility to not open your yap and ignorantly preach at others. It’s why I respected Stephen Hawking’s contributions to science, but discounted his opinions about government. In one area he was an expert; in the other he was as ignorant as any gutter drunk. And I could point out example after example.
Manipulated by “Russians”?
If you v*ted for a ruler, it is clear someone manipulated you successfully. Why is it somehow “worse” if it was “the Russians” rather than Google, FOX, Facebook, or MSNBC? Propaganda and manipulation is the same whatever the source.
School Indoctrinates and Promotes Ignorance
The lack of skepticism about kinderprison shows how damaging it is. Belief in the legitimacy of governing others is more clear evidence. You don’t need anything else, but you still have the overwhelming ignorance (about every critical subject) and lack of literacy as icing on the cake.
