Imagine how happy the control freaks have to be when they see that: people who know that statism is evil, being scared into enabling and legitimizing it anyway.

Government Should Be a Servant
Government is simply people coming together, under unanimously consensual rules, to get things done. It is never mandatory. Government, if done right, might even help protect the life, liberty, and property of the individuals who voluntarily join together. The state, on the other hand, is always anti-social; the more powerful it becomes, the weaker society gets.
They Are The Enemy
Can’t we all just get along? If you advocate the initiation of violence against innocents, then no, we can’t. And you are why we can’t, because you are the one condoning aggression.
“The Constitution Protects Our Rights!”
Well, no. It doesn’t. In fact, it fails to protect our rights from the authoritarian monstrosity that it created.
“Well At Least He’s Not Hillary!”
Just a friendly reminder: every tyrant rose to power, always with some degree of popular support, while righteously railing against whatever authoritarian injustice came before. Mao did it. Stalin and Lenin did it. Hitler did it. Che and Castro did it. And so on.
The Biggest War-Mongering Murder Machines
Those who whine about how they just want an “ethno-nation” of their own, with their fellow super-duper-white people, are never being honest about their motives or their intentions.
Murphy’s Law: Big Tech Must Serve as Censorship Subcontractors
Since when has government ever produced proper oversight, transparency, or effective management of anything? And what could possibly go wrong with eviscerating the First Amendment to give these jokers “oversight” or “management” powers over technologies that undergird our politics? What’s really going on here?
Radicalism Without Revolution
“Radical” is a scary word, but radicals are (fundamentally) just very consistent people. If they believe in a principle, they believe that it applies to the very root (“radix” – a Latin term) of things. If they believe in non-aggression as a social norm, for instance, they think the value of non-aggression holds true for everyone – including the police officers and bureaucrats and military members whom we normally excuse from this rule.
Pseudo-Religious Political Rituals
To a statist, “everybody knows” that we need “government,” “authority,” etc., and everyone who agrees with the statist is (according to them) an educated, independent, thoughtful, informed free-thinker.
Jump Right to Anarchy
You have no power to slowly shrink the state. You have no power to even keep the state the same size it is now. Stop pretending that you control the state. To talk as if the people can or will slowly reduce the power of the ruling class is completely delusional.
