Debunking Left & Right Wing Socialism (feat. Dave Smith)

by Keith Knight | Dec 30, 2022 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/KvPKGOTz4mw There exist two blatant contradictions which roughly ninety-nine percent of intellectuals, journalists, and voters erroneously believe. On the one hand, they say that the free market must be regulated in order to prevent monopolies. It is assumed that these monopolies would have such great power over the market that their customers would be forced to settle for products far more expensive than, and inferior to, those that would be offered under competitive market conditions. On the other hand, these intellectuals, journalists, and voters explicitly advocate that...

My Body My Choice: Abolish the FDA

by Keith Knight | Dec 17, 2022 | Blog, Uncategorized

If you visit FDA.gov you will find a section titled "products we regulate". Such products include: food, drugs, medical devices, tobacco, cosmetics, and vaccines. The word "regulate" in this case translates to "we have a legal monopoly on what consenting adults can sell and put in their bodies. If someone does not obey our arbitrary standards they will be arrested by the police, separated from their families, and shot if they resist the police." I have nothing against voluntarily funded stamp of approval agencies such as Underwriters Laboratory since people can choose to opt out of...

by Keith Knight | Dec 15, 2022 | Blog

After spending six years complaining about "BigTech Monopolies" Marco Rubio now want's to ban BigTech competitors. It doesn't matter that tens of millions of Americans voluntarily choose to use TikTok, or that thousands make a living using this product. Marco Rubio believes he owns your body, your time, and the property you worked to acquire. The American Declaration of Independence answer to TikTok: If people don't want the app, they have the right not to use it. If people want to use it, they can. My phone my choice, my time my choice, my body my choice, & my money Slavery Lover Rubio....

https://youtu.be/uFZGyyhf03c [T]he state's power to engage in national security policy making is a "master key" because it "opens all doors including the doors that might otherwise obstruct the government's invasion of our most cherished rights to life liberty and property." - Christopher J.

Putting Massive Unnecessary Obligations on Strangers Does Not Make You a Good Person

The true humanitarian rejoices when the people he helps feel ready to assert their independence and to strike out on their own; for isn’t this independence essential to being truly human? - Dr. Murray N. Rothbard, Left and Right, pp. 307–08 Government is the very negation of charity, for charity is uniquely an unbought gift , a freely fl owing uncoerced act by the giver. - Dr. Murray N.

Kyle Kulinski Doesn’t Understand Slavery

by Keith Knight | Dec 8, 2022 | Blog, Uncategorized

UBI = Slavery. Social Security = Slavery. Universal Healthcare = Slavery. Wage Slavery = FREEDOM. - Kyle Kulinski (@seculartalk) If "wage slavery" is in fact slavery, Kulinski and the like must advocate abolishing College since it requires thousands of hours of work for $0.00 an hr. My "wage slave owners" voluntarily offer me money, products, and services. My body my choice pal. Kulinski and other taxation advocates believe you and I should be caged and separated from our families by the police if we don't chip in for wars based on lies, schools which after 12 years turn people into morons,...

Cops, Kidnappers, and Assassins Are Just Doing Their Jobs!

by Keith Knight | Dec 3, 2022 | Blog

Imagine a police officer arresting you for the crime of selling "drugs". Later in court, the judge asks you how you plea, to which you respond, "Innocent your Highness! For I am a drug dealer. I was just doing my job. My boss, Pablo Escobar told me to do this. If you guys don't like us doing this, apply for a job at our drug cartel, work your way through our system, and persuade Mr. Escobar to change his policy." This is no different in principle than, "I'm a cop, just doing my job destroying food that homeless people need because politicians or a police chief told me to do so. Don't...
