If I defriend you on facebook, it doesn’t mean that: I am fucking you over. My facebook account, my decision who I associate with there. Unless we have some kind of contract, you can’t claim I am harming you. I am “blackballing” you from my rapidly shrinking list of activism projects. For example, I have […]
Ad hominem is the logical fallacy of attacking the person instead of rationally criticizing what the person says or does. For example, if you say “Firearm ownership is a right.” and I say “Gun owners are nuts who want to shoot everybody!” then I am committing an ad hominem. I am attacking gun owners as […]
”ŽI know first hand some people who were friended by [redacted] and were then attacked for saying the wrong thing. Now I’m not talking about George’s run in or my own. I’m talking about non-activists, lets say those who are at the starting point of walking down the road to where we are. In two […]
Like the Liberty Dollar, the more our mutual aid societies succeed, the greater the pressure will be on the state to destroy them. We need a MAS model that is resilient before we start accepting people’s precious funds.
I care about my reputation, first and foremost, because I am an entrepreneur. I don’t want my projects to be hampered by incorrect information about me. I’m not perfect. Don’t claim to be. A reputation is what others think of me. It resides in your minds. So I don’t control it. I don’t own it. […]
Listen to me ask Joe Arpaio if keeping people in 145F conditions is consistent with the teachings of Jesus. Thanks to my friend Drew, I found out that Joe Arpaio, head thug at a concentration camp operation in Maricopa county, Arizona, would be on WIFI 1460AM in New Jersey today. I called in and asked […]
If you are a photographer (and/or videographer) who covers activism (like I did for jury independence outreach in the spring of 2010), consider becoming a legal observer. The thought never occurred to me (an anonymous friend just suggested it to me) but could have saved me from the vindictiveness of the marshals. The idea is […]
Some excessively simple folks at Reddit are saying Jeremy did not behave himself nicely enough. He was too terse and didn’t say please and thank you enough. What fools. One lucky case does not mean the cops are our buddies. Did you not see how the other cop failed to receive the “Code 4” (i.e., […]
The criminalization of childhood. It’s scary. I’m a dad. So it’s downright frightening for me. And it’s why I’ll go to most any length to keep my son out of school. If you aren’t aware of the danger, research it. If you know about it, get your kids out of school. Homeschool them. Unschool them. […]
Justice is so rare today. Here we have two Davids who made Goliath stumble, however slightly. Pete Eyre and Ademo Freeman were found NOT GUILTY of the 3 charges that Greenfield, Mass prosecutor Jeffrey Banks tried them on. NOT GUILTY of wiretapping, NOT GUILTY of resisting arrest. Real justice requires that Todd M. Dodge and […]
