I just want to extend a deep thank-you

to the virtue convicts.

To the people who rip down the flock cameras

To the people who riot and overturn police cars

For the people who kill sex offenders in prison

For the people who spray paint, graffiti, wheatpaste, sticker. Anything at all that challenges the status quo

To the people who store weapons with "don't tread on me"

To the people who drive without a license, who don't pay tax (because in some countries it's actually against the law)

For people who storm the criminal courts and scream until security has to break your arm just to drag you out of the room

For the people who grow endangered trees by the corporate data centres

For people who burn down a warehouse telling the world all they had to do was pay you to live.

For the people who squat or use adverse possession to gain property from the wealthy

For the snowdens and so on who don't know whether it's truly illegal but deep down you can sende it's moral.

Who camp on lands against the bulldozers and the planet killers.

Who pass on data under non ISP protocols

Fuck all the hypocrites who stomp on you as a chickenhawk armchair critic after the fact. Who cower in their living rooms believing that their peacenik posturing complacency is real benevolence.

You will have a voice, a few voices, cheering you. And whatever ways I may join you (which I need not disclose) If and when the idiots wake up, we will try to seek your IS-BEs, and find you in a new life, and offer you a medal in appreciation, even though at the time your deeds were met with bigotry, hate, and punishment.

You are the real military. You are the soldiers on the ground. Today the only badge of honor is no badge at all. But that may change.

I hope you get to see this. You are not forgotten.

Nice post, but it's still clear that you don't want to respect property rights.

For example, you are okay with people stealing from the wealthy, as if all wealthy people deserve to be stolen from.

Why do you think like this?

It's not property when it's stolen

I agree, but not all wealth is stolen.

It's totally possible to become rich by building a company and selling stuff that people like to buy. In that case, the wealth has been earned, not stolen.

For example, nobody forces you to buy from Microsoft. Their products are replaceable, but most people still buy them. So, Bill Gates got rich without stealing. This doesn't make him a good person, because he's still using his money to do bad stuff.

Unfortunately, most people don't care enough to change things. If a company earns money the right way, but uses the money to do wrong things, the solution is to boycott them. It's the same with the state.

Problem with money is it's illegal in most countries. Money is a fixed commodity ideal for fairly universal exchange. In America that was "gold and silver coin" with a dollar on specific grains (I forget the number, too lazy to dig it up right now). But you can't use it if you're a "US citizen" because those citizens are foreign to the original (but still existant) states. What the UN nations use is the Fiat petrodollar. Pretty "tyranny" flavored if you ask me, which triggers the "resistance becomes duty" clause.

Well anyways. A good old flock camera will score you some pretty nice materials. Happy hunting.

@taz:

"Problem with money is it's illegal in most countries."

Yes, and no. It's illegal to pay your employees with every form of money that is possible. With the workforce, you are only allowed to use the money that is part of the tax code. Outside of the workforce, you can do what you want.
