    sounds like a cheesy B movie lol. But i love cheesy B movies haha. Sharknado! xD

    Well these essays aren't for school. Im writing various logical proofs and connecting them to each other to outline the Voluntaryist philosophy, and then putting statist philosophy up to the test against Voluntaryism. And finishing it off with how we plan to abolish government (it has a lot to do with spanking children believe it or not).

    I have been close to changing my own philosophy a few times, so its not impossible for one to change, but I could definitely see how it would make it harder.

    Great website. https://mises.org I would recommend checking it out if you have a few minutes.

    I was having a conversation with my dad earlier about movies and stuff never showing children dying, but I think we are wrong lol. Anime never holds back...

    The issue with not having a philosophy is that you are more likely to be inconsistent or contradictory.

    I disagree once again. At least 50% of the times in those kind of debates you'll be wrong. Following a philosophy makes you reluctanct to change your mind. Being this way I always have my mind open to new arguments and won't hold back to accept that I was wrong and change my perspective.

    Sure. And yeah, the thread got redundant way back

    Democracy is the best form of government we know of, and it allows for the most freedoms. But like any other form of government, it must grow. A true democracy cannot be sustained forever... constitutions only limit it for a limited time (granted for a long while).

    We are biased towards our own arguments of course. idk about you, but I converted into my ideology like the great majority of libertarians and Voluntaryists. The issue with not having a philosophy is that you are more likely to be inconsistent or contradictory, thus making your arguments inferior to those who are consistent.

    I would prefer to answer your questions from the thread here. That threat is wayyyyyy too busy and people seem to be repeating the same crap. So can I answer your last post here instead of there?

    More or less. At least we get to choose who rules us.

    I disagree there though. An underlining philosophy would make your arguments even more biased. "Even more" because we're all biased on a way or another.

    So you mean a government would come out of anarchy? So we need government to prevent another government? xD

    Zombies and dragons sounds like a great ideal world... can I join in on the fun? Sounds dangerous though. :P

    So you dont identify left-wing or right-wing, authoritarian or libertarian? to be honest, I have found that my arguments are stronger with an underlining philosophy.

    True. I have fun posting and stuff.

    I know anarchy doesn't directly mean that haha. However, I see that scenario as every outcome of anarchy.

    is there an underlining philosophy behind your political leanings?

    I wouldn't say that I have direct political leanings. In my ideal world, there'll be zombies, dragons and stuff, and we would be all minding our own business. But coming back to reality, I stick to whatever suits my beliefs in a realistic sense. Every country has its own story, making politics; not universal.

    Don't worry about answering right away; if you ever feel obliged to answer when you're tired, it takes the fun out of it haha.

    Anarchy is not molotov-throwing, violence, or any of the stereotypical views of anarchy. There is no purge crap lol

    Voluntaryism (a form of anarchism also known as Anarcho-Capitalism) is the idea that all human interaction should be both voluntary and consensual, and that the threat of force or initiation of force is inherently illegitimate. People own themselves and their property, and no one else has the right to another's body or property. It is the notion that society can be run with individuals ruling themselves (not anyone else), and that innovation and human progression can succeed without violence.

    It just turns out the government's existence is violent. So we are fine with voluntary government and communes. We are not only antigovernment violence (like people think we are), but rather anti-all violence. So we are against war, murder, rape, theft, etc. But this also means we are against people dictating what we can and can't do with our bodies and property. The only limit in Voluntaryist philosophy is that one cannot violate another's body or property.

    I can go into detail about each point there if you want me to. But as you can see, it is not the stereotypical anarchy lol. People see the word "anarchy" and assume we want to start shooting people lol.

    I think too logically sometimes as well, over analyzing things and stuff. i always search for the most consistent philosophy, and my current one is that one until i find a contradiction/consistency somewhere.

    is there an underlining philosophy behind your political leanings?

    Its really cool! the color combination is great, as well as the metallic feel.

    Hmm, let's see. What's your philosophy to begin with? Anarchy itself is just a term, there are lots of philosophies behind it.

    Yeah, I noticed your liberal self xD haha. You could say I'm a logical person, but at the same time, I try to look at the big picture. It is hard for me to express my beliefs, because I take into account way too many things/perspectives. Even harder in english

    haha thanks, I should update it though. The design was done quickly, I just wanted to customize it a bit haha

    ya whatever lol xD

    basically my life now. I'm on break from school now, so ill be starting my homework tomorrow and begin writing some essays about the philosophy behind anarchism.

    If you have questions about anarchy, you can answer them to the best of my ability! And you said was a little bit liberal.... I'm so liberal I dont believe in government! xD

    Also this page design is crazy awesome
