    UKRAINE : A LESSON FOR AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARIES

    The square in Maydan has held nearly a million people, but is being manned by as few as 20,000.

    Their successes and sacrifices have encouraged people in other areas of the country to revolt.

    It is very easy to render a country ungovernable, and a government illegitimate, with a very small number of people willing to use violence and to risk life and limb for freedom.

    A small, armed, distributed population, willing to use weapons against police and military, to disrupt bureaucratic organizations from functioning under their the thin veil of legitimacy, can rapidly bring an economy to a halt.

    The status quo in any society is not an immutable force of gravity. It’s a fragile set of habits, easily disrupted. And with that disruption the veil of ignorance is lifted from the public: governments are disposable. Freedom is not.

    UKRAINE IS A TUTORIAL.

    WATCH CAREFULLY.

    UKRAINE : THE REASON THE SECOND AMENDMENT EXISTS

    If this happened in the states, we would overwhelm the police and military in hours.

    The source of freedom is the force of arms.

    UKRAINE UPDATE: ** WE WAITED TOO LONG **

    It’s spun out of control now. They’re just using AK47’s on the protesters. Parliament has left. They are shutting down the city.

    Security has closed our offices. They devs will come to the apartment to work.

    The violence is spreading around the country.

    Lviv voted to secede last night. Crimea stated their threat to secede today.

    We need to get out of here.

    (The airport unfortunately, is on the other side of the city.)

    Serhiy Burlakov, a representative of the Interior Ministry, said that also close to 300 piece of arms were stolen from police departments in Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, Rivne and Ternopil regions that were also taken over.

    VIOLENCE IS A VIRTUE NOT A VICE

    **If you will not fight for property rights, you have not earned those rights in exchange from those who DO fight for them. Instead, you’re just another beggar trying to get them at a discount. Just another free rider on the backs of others. Just another parasite.**

    The source of liberty is the organize use of violence to suppress criminal, unethical, immoral, and conspiratorial behavior.

    Violence is a virtue, not a vice.

  • Rothbard's Ethical Ghetto

      Rothbardian ethics are just an excuse to suppress the strong’s ability to use violence while maintaining the cunning’s ability to entrap, lie, cheat and steal. Liberty was created at the point of a sharp metal object, by heroic males, as a means of suppressing all forms of cheating on the backs of others. Rothbard’s pretense is simply a means of justifying parasitism on that hard won liberty. There is nothing libertarian about Rothbardian ethics. Its just a complex philosophical lie to justify immoral and unethical theft.
