RE: The Judo of Freedom - Don't lose your balance (basic principles)
It's easier said than done. When your 'enemy's doesn't fight fair, you're compelled not to fight fair too. More often than not trying to stick to your own message without looking at the enemy will backfire. Then again, that's just my opinion
Also I donot consider myself a libertarian, even do I share a lot of your views, but I think you need to stop your bashing of Kokesh and try to find middle ground. Most comments I read affirm to your integrity, but you should also realize that even you are not perfect and a clash between you too here may be bad for your partys goals in the long run. That's just my two cents
I also have never claimed to be perfect, and that’s the whole point! No individual is fit to exercise non-consensual authority over another! Even a saint.
As far as the enemy not “fighting fair.” Two wrongs cannot make a right, Oppression cannot end oppression.
Well we can always agree to disagree on the second statement. I've never seen, in politics, where bad has been completely fought with good, there's always a shift, a compromise. Let's hope you will be the one to make me a believer
I won't make you a believer, because I agree, politics is always a compromise of morals.
Why do you consider dissent “bashing”? This seems like a dangerous and extremely suspicious characterization to me.
Suspicious how? From my little knowledge of this platform you two are the most popular libertarians. I'll take a cue from the Holy book 'A house divided against itself cannot stand'. All am trying to say is that you should try and exhaust all options to finding middle ground. Best of luck, and pardon my meddling
You classified my vocalization of an opinion different than Kokesh's "bashing." This is very bizarre.
Exactly. Agree 100%. Thus my disagreement with Kokesh's specific prescription of political action which violates ISO.
You are not meddling at all. I respect your input. The problem is that oil and water don7t really have as middle ground. I have tried to dialogue with Adam, but as was the case with @larkenrose in his disagreement with Kokesh as well, I was called names, and told I was a "bad person," more or less.
Grade school type shit.
This isn't an actual war however. Ethics and honor matter, and people should be consistent.
