Preach.

Nice to see someone else coming to the realization.

As Frank said, the tiny nation of Ancapistan welcomes you.

I remember the same thing happening when Bush and Obama was president....it just feels so much easier and better to be disgusted by both sides and politicians on both sides...I don't think EITHER party will ever do what's best for American's.

Congratulations on becoming a fence-sitter.

You'd be off my lifeboat in 2 seconds.

Maybe for the same reason that I, Frank, No_Recess, and others like us are here...to be entertained.

Yeah! Now America is a FAKE country! Imagine that. Actually, America is a falling world empire. If people are so relieved from political views by being Independent, why are they still starting threads about Trump and the Democrats? Hmmm.... I think no one can escape this game, to be honest.

If serious, you should look into anarchism as Frank noted.
But to work, anarchism requires everybody to live with accepting that a right is defined as an act that does no harm upon another being. That will never happen.

Anarchism isn't suppose to "work". We just want you folks to admit it exists because the only alternative presented to us anarchists is slavery...plain and simple. And I don't believe any man has the right to rule over another.

It exists because it exists...without pride or prejudice.

You either believe in the principle of non-aggression which means you don't commit harm and you have the right to unabated self-defense or you don't...which means you believe in slavery.

I have always been willing to hear a logically and morally sound argument on why this is a false dichotomy and not a single person has ever produced one. On here, in literature, or down at government HQs with the ornate buildings and shiny badges.

Finally, it isn't like I'm not listening. I've tested it repeatedly and it never fails.

as i have gotten older i realize much of whats "taught" to us is complete fabrication...some philosopher once said "life is one set of dis illusions after another"
LBJ died a lonely drunken man under the care of a "Psychiatrist" who watched what the man revealed....
Nixon was never happy as he felt he always needed to overcome his poor upbringing and "prove" himself and its said he had no friends....
Politicians are "maladjusted" people and one should NOT assume personal achievement leads them to happiness
