I think it would be really interesting to see how people in the UK respond to the same tactics Adam uses in his videos. Would it be as easy to get them to admit that taxation is theft? That democracy is just mob rule? Heck, I wish there was some way to quantify how differently people in the US vs the UK think in terms of freedom.
To be honest, I think it'll be split 50/50 when it comes to accepting new ideas. A lot of people I know are VERY left-leaning individuals who just see the idea of liberty as a reason to smoke pot... Obviously, this is not what freedom is all about, but they refuse to hear otherwise. On the other hand, I know a few people who are determined to change the way the government rules, and so perhaps it's my job to step in and say "Do we need a Government at all?!"
Once they grasp the very simple moral code of:
- Don't Hurt
- Don't Kill
- Don't Steal
- Don't Vandalise/Damage Property
- Don't abuse anybody else's right to live their life the way they see fit (provided they respect your right to do the same)
- Make Everything Voluntary
Only then can we progress towards making people see the potential this world has, if we just get rid of the source of all problems... Government. People in the UK always seem to want more and more restrictions on things they don't do or want themselves, but are perfectly fine with Government doing these things instead. At least (from what I've seen in Adam's videos) people in America are open to the suggestion of a truly voluntary and free society. People in the UK however don't want change... and when they do, it's only because they're so easily blinded by the mainstream media.
A lot of Americans seems to take an interest in unique ways of thinking. Here in the UK, people are just too lazy to think, let alone find a reasonable media outlet that doesn't just update you about the new iPhone 9 or the updated McDonalds menu...
