    HOW TO PROSECUTE RATHER THAN CONVINCE

    We have moral cause (genocide).

    We have moral authority (a century of lies).

    We have sufficient violence.

    We have opportunity (loss of any credibility in the honesty of our opponents.)

    So, we have means, motive and opportunity.

    PROSECUTION

    1) Prosecute people to demonstrate that they are liars and thieves.

    2) Ask why they will not trade with you instead of lie, cheat and steal.

    3) Tell them that if we disagree and they force no costs upon us, our kin, and our civilization, then that is merely an agreement to disagree. If they wish to trade what we wish for what they wish then that is merely an agreement to cooperate on means, even though we seek different ends. But if they will not respect what is ours and leave us in peace, will not compromise by trade, and instead seek to impose costs upon us, our kin, and our civilizations, by proxy via the force of government, or by deceit, or by conversion, or by invasion, or by violence, then it is only rational that we will resort ourselves to violence, displacement, deportation, enslavement, and truthfulness.

    We are left with no choice but to prosecute enemies by punishment, expulsion, enslavement, or death.

    This is what I mean by prosecution.

    TERROR ALERTS AS MERE BLAME CIRCUMVENTION FOR FAILURE

    —“Of course there are potential “terror alerts” over Thanksgiving. That’s how the state keeps you in perpetual fear. It’s all bullshit.”—

    Its actually how they attempt to circumvent blame by issuing warnings all the time so that even though people get murdered, they can claim they were not caught unawares – even though they were. Since ‘awareness’ requires ‘actionability’ to have any meaning.

    Q&A: “CURT: IS LIBERTARIAN FASICSM POSSIBLE?” (no, but…)

    —“Curt! Could Libertarian-Fascism or even Anarcho-Fascism be a thing?”— Felicity J. Sharpe

    Both libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism are impossibilities.

    Market fascism in the sense that rule of law under proper in toto imposes markets in all areas of life, is certainly possible and that’s what I articulate. But the fantasy that you escape paying for commons that you benefit from is just not gonna happen.

    What can happen is that we can prevent being forced to pay for commons that harm us. And that’s the best we can do.

    So yes we can have market fascism, meaning markets in everything, and non imposition of costs. Can we have libertarian or anarchy capitalism’s parasitic free riding? No they’re impossible

    MORE ON MARKET FASCISM

    What’s the difference between MARKET FASCISM and the Status Quo?

    There are two differences:

    1) Since markets regulated by natural law are the only POSSIBLE means of preserving sovereignty, and voluntary cooperation free of parasitism, then any attempt to perpetuate an alternative is an act of attempted fraud.

    So the difference is that under Market Fascism, there is no tolerance for criticism of the sovereign market order just as no tolerance for cannibalism, murder, theft, fraud, and conspiracy. Becuase tolerance for such crimes itself a crime. You may only propose exchanges.

    You can use the court to pursue an involuntary imposition of costs that violates natural law. But you may not propose an imposition of costs that violates natural law.

    In other words, you must constrain yourself to function within the markets in word and deed.

    2) Since you must fully account for the consequences of any action, the externalities produced by your action must not privatize the commons or socialize your losses. This means that you must be more careful in profiting from the ignorance of your fellow citizen shareholders.

    In other words your opportunity to profit from arbitrage is limited.

    These are simple, but far reaching demands.
