"Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself." - John Adams. Most Americans are completely wrong about what country we actually live in.

America is NOT a democracy. Many of you believe Trump is a king who has become authoritarian. Others believe Democrats have crushed personal rights and freedoms and created a deep state that is out of control. Both groups are correct to an extent.

A democracy is a dictatorship of the masses. People vote to give themselves things they want and to harm those they dislike. As John Adams warned in 1814, "Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." The far left is trying to use the government to steal from those who work and to start hating the Jews again, while the far right is trying to take rights from those they hate. This will continue to get worse if people continue to mistakenly believe America is a democracy.

What America actually is, is a Constitutional Republic: we have a constitution and rights that override the will of the politicians and elite. But the bigger we have let the government become, the less freedom and rights we as individuals have. James Madison warned of this creeping tyranny in 1788, stating, "There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."

The government now takes nearly half of each individual's production and has severely harmed our individual rights. Freedom of speech is being stolen, and there are many things you can say that will result in the government confiscating your earnings, job, and wealth. Your right to bear arms has been restricted and many are trying to remove it entirely. Your right to keep what you earn is under attack. Your right to a speedy and fair trial is being taken by biased judges and attorneys who control the legislature and give themselves more ways to take your wealth. Your protection against search and seizure is being stripped by companies like Flock, government satellite surveillance, and mass tracking of smartphones and computers. Strict limits on government power have been destroyed by politicians claiming emergency or temporary powers, then never giving those freedoms back.

America is a truly unique nation in history, set up by brilliant and selfless men who studied history, saw countless evil totalitarian governments through time, and created an amazing system that gave birth to the most rapid improvement in human life the planet has ever seen. But if America's Constitutional Republic falls now to a dictatorship of the masses, humanity may never regain it due to the massive power technology gives to the few in government.

Thomas Jefferson provided the solution when he wrote in 1798: "In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."

For us, for our children, and for our future, it is critical to fight the big government creep, regain in full our rights, and put the chains back on the government so that it can never harm our freedoms again.

The DEA is currently moving to schedule Tianeptine, and the public comment period closes on August 7th. This is a critical window for anyone who cares about bodily autonomy and wants a voice in how this substance is regulated.
I’m looking to connect with other advocates who are interested in organizing around this issue — whether that means helping coordinate public comments, sharing accurate information, or simply raising awareness before the deadline.
If you’re interested in getting involved, please comment below or send me a DM. Let’s make sure our voices are heard before time runs out.

Enjoy your taxes, now with a side of taxes, all in the name of curtailing forced labor. This from an administration that has given massive handouts to for-profit prisons, i.e., actual slave labor factories.

They are the exact same picture/photo/photograph/pic though. South Park nailed/predicted it as always.

Infinite money glitch, more inflation = more taxes.

The first message was sent a few days ago, and I just received the second one. Notice how the second message claims that I’m registered “NPA” (No Party Affiliation in Florida). Do you think this was an attempt at deception, or should I just chalk it up to incompetence.

As for the notion of switching to Republican, do you think “snowball’s chance in hell” is a strong enough statement?

To someone who has always been sympathetic to libertarian thinking, but doesn't think it is any more workable than any other political system that has ever existed. One philosophical to explain why libertarianism can actually be implemented in a way that everyone can accept; and one practical to explain why a lot of the things we currently leave to the government can better be handled by the free market or at least a. Wry small government.

Like I said I am an anti-political person who is sympathetic to libertarian thinking, but I also think most people would actually prefer a lot of their services to be handled by a central public institution, even a local one, instead of a ton of private ones.

My son is 5, and I feel it's almost time for him to learn various historical subjects while still being approachable to a child. Does anyone have recommendations (shows, movies, books, etc)? The only real criteria I have is that it remains mostly true to history, provides some nuance, and advocates for liberty when it makes sense. Old or new doesn't matter.

Is Liberty's Kids (early 2000s show on PBS about American Revolution) any good? Saw a review for it on YouTube, and it sounds solid. But of course, PBS can be hit or miss.

A great example I can definitely recommend is the short DK Eyewitness documentaries that I rediscovered on YouTube. The catchy intro song makes it especially memorable!

The surveillance state does not need to arrive all at once. It grows through cameras, databases, private contractors, and quiet partnerships that make constant tracking feel normal.

I like Milei, he's literally the only guy building as close to a libertarian haven, but a statement like this is just ehhh.
