Quit Bitching about “Price Gouging”
Which of the following is morally and economically preferable?
Humanity Needs Love and Understanding
It is not enough to have good intentions, or to “love thy neighbor.” People need to actually understand what is going on, and realize that being a moral, caring human being is completely antithetical to condoning any flavor of “government” or political “authority.”
First, They Ignore You
Plenty of anarchists have noticed that the media, the politicians, even the Orange Fuhrer himself, have been mischaracterizing, demonizing and condemning “anarchists.”
What’s Wrong With Free Money?
One of the scams pushed by the soulless parasites is the notion of “universal basic income” or “UBI”: the idea that, just as a result of existing, everyone is magically entitled to a certain amount of prosperity, income and wealth.

When authoritarian powers are huffing and puffing at each other and preparing for war, it is because both sets of tyrannical control freaks–the ruling classes of BOTH countries–need their OWN subjects to be scared, so that the slaves on both sides feel loyalty to their supposed savior rulers.
Xenophobia and Cultural Assimilation
No one has an obligation to “assimilate” into a different culture, regardless of what piece of dirt they happen to be standing on. People don’t acquire an obligation to wear what you wear, eat what you eat, speak the language you speak, and think what you think, just because they exist in close proximity to you.
