"How free can you be?" I can be completely free and die. The underlying fact is that death has no enemy. One has the option to envision that they are already dead, it's not a relevant parameter to the dead and departed, rather the only outcome you are managing is the "timing" of your release from human life-form. Everybody dies, a brave man dies but once but a coward dies every day.
In considering your paradigm unfolded in your post, I perceive the art of living (in human life-form) if accepted as tolerable-to-productive utility by an individual, is carried on by freewill which is in itself a component of freedom. One is free even to do evil despite having no right to such unconscious behavior. However their evil deeds will diminish their consciousness and the price must be paid in this life or the afterlife to return to consciousness, and therefore they are their own slave master. So follows their accountability. There are no conflicts in reality.
I "am" is a statement of fact. I "am an anarchist" is ego mis-identification. Ego isn't real it's just story. The core of all mankind's suffering manifests from ego mis-identification. If an individual accepts to maintain the art of living as human life-form it's hardly a worthy fixation to acknowledge or judge the amount one is robbed or how frequently they are robbed by statists. It is most important to fixate on how many times an individual does or doesn't maintain a sociopathic relationship. The former choice is dying, the latter is growing. No matter how many time I am robbed or avoid being beaten I am growing.
I was blessed with the suffering of having been raised by psychopaths. I look forward to the conflicts and the choices I will make to deal with them. I look forward to death, I always have. I am committed to the pursuit of infinite truth, and it seems reasonable that death likely presents great opportunity of choice. Nothing I've endured has ever made me weaker or less wise. The purpose of human life-form is not altruism. Altruism is the philosophy of death. Live for yourself, die for anyone you wish, whenever you wish. Don't feed off your grandchildren or anyone else's on the way to your grave.
I will die before I ever petition the state to bring me a "socialism security retirement entitlement check" and I'll turn 62 eligible in 2021. I will die before I ever stop criticizing Israel and the USA for war atrocities. My wife and I haven't been required to file a tax return since the supreme court upheld Obamacare and the individual penalty ends for year 2019 income reporting. We may choose to increase income and file future returns which feeds the beast more aggressively, however what we keep will be positioned against statists. I'll never give a damn what someone else calls me, as I'm inclined to kill my ego whenever I recognize it.
I read in the book "Evil In Modern Thought" that, "The noble brute doesn't need anyone else to know who he is and what he needs. in contrast the civilized man never recognizes himself unless reflected in the eyes of others." Civilization is not freedom. Civilization is not sustainable.
Thanks for the free-flow of posts. I dig it.
