This sign is posted across the street from an elementary school in San Francisco by a registered sex offender living in a tent there. The police say 'there's nothing we can do.'
He, too, values freedom and has even come up with his personalized American dream! He does not recognize the power of institutions over him, but he is delighted with the society that has provided him with this freedom.
In this particular case and others like it, I am all in favor of a conservative dictatorship.
If one's freedom interferes with the lives of many other free people around him, then we need working institutions to avoid lynchings!
If everyone were as conscious as I or you are, perhaps there would be no need for any government, and there would be other mechanisms of distribution of benefits and management of common resources.
I am glad that you live in conditions that allow you to organize sufficient financial flows without compromising your freedom. I am only on the way to it, and the current situation does not favor its completion soon.
The agents of influence in the government didn't get there through Texas.
You can accuse neocommunists or other movements of changing the habitual environment as much as you want, but I will say one thing: Just like in Ukraine, the situation in the U.S. was caused by the silent inaction of you and me, who are thinking and understanding people.
Why? In his case, given his actions at present, lynching seems appropriate. Why should society as a whole suffer tyranny because irredeemable criminals prey on it? Best just to remove the rotten apple and leave the barrel, IMHO.
Thanks!
I know exactly what you mean. Especially if my kids were in that school.
If the institutions of society cannot cope with the problem, society will solve the problem on its own! But there's the other side of the coin. If the dregs of society decide that your school is interfering with their carefree existence, they will band together and burn down the school, at best without people.
From their destructive point of view, the parents of the children are preventing the free flow of drugs, and the school is a gathering place for these perpetually disgruntled parents.
My point is this. Freedom is a good thing, but only until someone else's freedom starts threatening your normal existence. We've been through that shameful chapter in history-- lynching!
I don't think it's worth revisiting, although I admit, sometimes I'm drawn to it.
The aphorism goes that your freedom of action ends where your fist meets my face. Appropriately extended, fentanyl users freedom to transact ends where my parental rights to keep my kids drug free begins. If the police don't protect my kids, then I have that responsibility. I never had any confidence in any governmental institution to protect, or benefit, my kids, so I homeschooled.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
all the dealers can't be lynched. The state has not been able to prohibit them from selling drugs, and we, being within the legal framework, even more so.
That is why it is necessary to deal with their children from an early age, and to make every effort to ensure that the child passing by such or similar signs had the necessary core, on which he will be based in making decisions about life.
The state does not care about what will happen to each individual child. The general statistics of drug-related deaths have long been accepted as the norm.
This is the price of freedom, which not everyone knows how to use competently! Natural (urban) selection of the 21st century!
I'll tell you what they're not telling you yet!
Drug addiction has become so widespread and continues to gain momentum that this experience, intervention, and side effect cannot but leave an imprint on us as a species!
What are the long-term consequences I can hardly even guess.....
But that is only if we manage to do without the nuclear baton in the current series of conflicts! It will be humorous if these junkies are right in the end, that they lived their last days in their own pleasure and not for the good of society)))))
