# Why should people vote for your preferred political party.
Despite marginal differences between political parties.

2. Which party will observe all of the moral rights that people exercise?
3. Which party will stop coercive confiscation of personal property?
4. Which party will allow competition for monopoly government services?

It's a matter of principle. If a anyone only steals $100 it's "better" than if he stole $1000, or all your money.
It's why you'll thank a cop that lowers the charges for a ticket, even if you're a single mother that needs every dime to feed her kids.
#taxationIsTheft
So when you are taxed less, it's "better" for your situation, but the offense is the same. The fact that they claim a coercive right to your money means they set the amount, you're a victim just the same.
IMHO There is no moral difference.

Unfortunately the concepts of liberty and freedom have become conflated. Freedom is the right to exercise all your other rights. Even slaves had liberties but they were in no sense free.
And you're right we will abuse authority when we get the chance.
Matthew 20:25-26 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.

I'm an abolitionist. The State is an unjustifiable tyranny.
With the State, the best you can hope for is durations of liberty, that end with less and less.

I will be continuing to study #rustLang. So far it remains very familiar to other programming languages I've learned. I do like how obvious (Is that the right word?) variables can be at declaration. No guessing or assuming.

#Rust #Udemy
I'm using a Udemy course called, "Rust for Beginners: Learn Rust in 4 Hours"
First, I am no programmer. I barely have enough exposure to be a hobbyist. let's just say I've done a number of hello_world programs. (basic, c++, java, JavaScript) some schooling, some self studied.
and everytime I had to type every bit of it. I think I learned more that way.
This teacher used code editor, and used something called cargo. and zip--bam everything was done for me.
I think of all the hello_world I've written, I learned the least from this one. Not just from the repetition, but because I did literallynothing to the code. It just sprang into existence.
The only thing I had to do was click a button and it compiled and ran.
This is probably a great demonstration of cargo, but it probably shouldn't have been the first element.
So now I've got to deconstruct this a little bit and go back to maybe a raw simple editor. and figure out how to do the compiling on the command line.
I understand that the bells and whistles make things easier for people to know what they're doing, but for people at knew who are new it just skips past a whole bunch of bricks. we need to build the wall as it were.
I don't know if anybody wanted to hear this but I just felt like expressing myself. thanks for reading

# The Empire Strikes Back
Concerning the Star Wars analogy:
>I gave the illustration, to try to show how one might harmonize both realities. Surely you can see that.
I do, and I would use that example as a means to steelman my understanding of your position. Unfortunately, there isn't a biblical example. That would be a greater evidence.
The closest example from the Bible like this is the murder of Uriah. David doesn't actually murder him but he does issue a secret decree.
>**2 Samuel 11:15** *In the letter he wrote, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, that he may be struck down, and die.”*
And despite the fact that neither David, nor his agents struck the deathblow David is still guilty of Uriah's murder. Secondary causes did not eliminate David's guilt.
>"**2 Samuel 12:9** *Why have you despised the word of the LORD, to do what is evil in his sight?* ***You have struck down Uriah*** *the Hittite with the sword and have taken his wife to be your wife and have killed him* ***with the sword of the Ammonites.***
>The evidence is the scripture passage. I believe man is morally accountable, but that in another sense man, like in Romans 9, can be described as a pot prepared for destruction.
I'm sure you do believe that, but my question was about a text in the Book of Joshua, and what he believed.
Did Joshua believe that these Hebrew Israelites had the freedom to choose when he said, "... choose this day whom you will serve..." or was he just acting out the part written for him in eternity?
>It's almost as if the freedom of the Creator is on an infinitely greater level than the freedom of the creation, however, real that freedom is.
"It's almost as if..." doesn't seem like the result of solid Hermeneutics, but rather a wobbly conjecture from leaning on one's own understanding regarding a rhetorical question asked 100s of years later in an entirely different context.
>I don't know you.
And I don't know you, and it's still nice to dialog with someone sincere.
>I know open theism is bad juju.
Who told you that? Why do you think so?
>I do pray that you are as committed to Scripture as you say, and you'll land in a good place.
Very nice. You are in my prayers as well.

>Are you trying to make a logical argument according to your human wisdom, or are you trying to make sense of every verse of the Bible? (Romans 9:21, for instance.)
>-isaacsumner
Well Isaac, of course I'm not trying to lean on my own understanding. Rather I want to let the Bible speak. After all:
>2 Timothy 3:16-17 ***All Scripture*** is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
That would include Joshua 24:15. Don't you think so?
About that, from the context does it look like Joshua believes these people are making a choice, or that they are acting out a plot that was predetermined for them?

Ukraine's Azov Battalion as "openly
neo-Nazi!"
Today, NYT's @antontroian describes
Azov as "far-right."
What happened? Did Azov complete
a special training program that takes
open neo-Nazis and turns then into a
more palatable far-right?

When a man wants to force you to say that he's a woman: That's misgendering. That's gaslighting. That's misinformation. That's anti-science.
And worse, it's against your freedom.

Is he really? That's some serious privilege.

# Don't Feed the Trolls
My posts are meant to make people think and act as discussion starters. So yes, they are provocative. I fancy myself somewhat of a conversational provocateur.
**BUT**
Occasionally, I catch a troll.
Trolls are identifiable by looking for a few discernible traits.
1. They claim to understand the subject matter better than you but are unwilling to share that knowledge.
2. Instead, they engage primarily in ad hominem and other fallacies.
3. Like those men that stare at goats, they make claims on your motives as if they know you.
4. Their tone is irrationally angry. Like you hurt their feelings somehow, or killed their dog. You cannot rationalize with the butt hurt.
5. Trying to engage with such posts merely returns more of the same.
# PLEASE
## Don't Feed the Trolls
Send a biting meme and move on with your life. It's too short to tolerate their ilk. If necessary, go ahead and block them. Better still, block them if they are trolling someone else.
When it fails to keep your attention it moves on to bother someone else. Unless of course they are a professional whore working for "Homeland Security"
But normal hobby trolls get bored over time and move on.
I hope this helps you to identify and remember not to feed the trolls

# ENERGY
So **MIT** has apparently achieved orbital solar energy that could benefit everyone on earth with a free energy source
That's what they claimed anyway, but you and I know that's not how things work.
It will be centrally distributed which means it will be a natural monopoly. The infrastructure will cost money for which you will be taxed. Pricing will be set most likely by the State, IE fascism. Whoever controls that source will eventually rule the world.

So what do we do? Is there anyone working on decentralized power distribution?
That is the solution a people need to be free.
