Activism projects/Strategy/Winning Converts / Debating concerns with the FREEDOM! movement

« on: May 24, 2016, 12:49:24 PM »

I've created this topic so that we can all share the ideas, rebuttals, and conversations we have when talking to people about why we don't need the federal government anymore.

In my experience I've come across some very common reasons why people depend on and think that we do need the federal government.

There is one point that i have difficulty arguing against. I have become aware of some concerns about what happens when big multinational corporations start forming private armies when our governments standing army is no more. How can militias fight against private armies? And how would we prevent this from happening in the first place. The main point I'm getting to is that the best position i can come up with against this point is that we would just be depending on the good will of people, and that is something that just will not resonate among people. Most people have lost hope for society when it comes to good intentions of strangers. So i need advice on this.

See any flaws? Anything that needs added on? Please oh lordy please let me know, educate me(I LOVE IT) and I'll get it fixed. Also please share your opinions, facts, and experience so we may all share in the knowledge.

YOU BETTER BE OUT THERE GETTING CONVERTS!

How does the actually dissolving of the government start? Is it some sort of executive order issued by the president? So people just start getting fired until it's collapsed? I'm not too educated on the specifics of it so i just need to know how to educate other people on what exactly this top-down approach consists of.

Living FREEDOM! / Got any advice for living the dream life?

« on: May 15, 2016, 10:44:30 PM »

To blatantly put it, the matrix has me. I work at least a 40 hour week at a warehouse job. I spend most of my free time online watching adam's channel, the young turks, or various "Anonymous" videos, or checking in on a couple of good friends i had move to colorado and one other to nevada. Other than that, i clean my house, go to the gym, sleep, and read. Basically, i do nothing relevant with my life(other than raise my daughter) and i accept this as my own responsibility as it is my own life to control.

I dream of a life that's well... pretty much adam's life lol i desire to travel everywhere and talk to people to just try and get them to realize how pointless most of our day to day lives really are. I want to wake people up to all the distractions that are lodged into their brains from a young age and get them to be energized to stand up for a change. I want to help get people to not be so dependant and trustworthy towards this system run by evil people who want nothing more than to desensitize them and keep them focused on everything irrelevant while the evil people run a hellacious circus for blood and money behind the stage. All i want in life is to have an autonomous home with my own food supply to go back to from traveling abroad to help spread the message of freedom. Yet everyday i can't help feeling that no matter how passionate i am about obtaining true freedom for every human on this planet, I am still a sheep myself because I'm too scared to let go of my current life. I don't know how I'll still make the money to initially buy my own plot of land, start my own garden, raise my own livestock and build my own house by traveling across the country trying to help other people. I'm too scared to break away from the mediocre stream of bullshit money i already have because i don't know where it will come from living my dream life. It keeps me up at night, it's always in the back of my mind throughout the day, the ultimate question of, is my daughter going to go without anything that i have to provide if i decide to take this leap towards true happiness? How do i break these chains?

I hate showing such a desperate and helpless side of myself, but i can't hide it and call it something else. A "normal" life is not the life for me. It's just not in me to live with this dissatisfaction anymore so I'm done caring about how desperate or helpless i may seem. I know i have the heart, the desire, the will to help make a change, i suppose i just don't have the knowledge and wisdom so pride is cast aside. I'm not easily offended by any means so any criticism is welcome and any advice is immensely appreciated. If anyone has their own experience to share on how they stopped living in this matrix, i would love that. My listening ears, or rather my eyes, are on overdrive.

Also I feel that i must clarify that I'm aware this isn't a "talk about your problems" forum or perhaps even just the best place to be seeking this advice. I'm not just desperately seeking advice from anywhere i can get. I post this here because i feel that it's relevant to the cause so that any other people wishing to change their lives to benefit the freedom movement can find the help to do so here. I just know of manyany other people who are stuck in the same hole that i am that wish to obtain the same life i want, as far as the freedom to travel and spread a moral message goes. So the advice given here isn't only for my needs/wants, i will also be spreading it to dozens of others who wish to do si ilar things with their lives.

Taylor Courtois here. Honestly I'd like to do just about anything I can do to help, definitely open to ideas and suggestions. I live in Keokuk, Iowa, so I'd like to represent Lee county. Unfortunately there is virtually no libertarian movement around where i am so i know gaining support is going to be tough. There are loads of die hard democraps and republicunts in these small Iowan towns, i can only imagine it gets worse in bigger cities, this two party false dichotomy has really sank it's teeth in over time around here so any and i mean ANY advice you may have on trying to persuade people to think outside their comfort zones is immensely appreciated. I'll also pick up on some tactics from your youtube videos. I look forward to your presidential campaign.

That 100% answers my questions. I can't thank you enough for your time and consideration. I will most definitely have more questions coming, however, I'm at work right now so they will come in due time. Thank you again.

The Philosophy of Freedom/Libertarianism/Doctrine of free will / Questions for Adam

« on: May 10, 2016, 12:32:35 PM »

Just trying to gather some information here, no matter how dim it may make me seem as I want to, and more than likely will, be supporting Adam's run for presidency in 2020. But what happens in the event of the dissolution of the federal government to the constitution? In other words, how do we protect ourselves from cops who won't immediately stand down and will still throw us in jail for unconstitutional reasons?

Also, will there be any affect on healthcare? I understand state governments handle the details of healthcare per each state but i guess what I'm getting to is that if the federal government is gone will i still be able to use my health savings account for emergencies or will all hospital bills then be out of pocket costs?
