How To Decrease Violence

in #freedom6 years ago (edited)

Every time someone supports most laws, they are supporting violence. Most laws actually cause violence against people who are not being violent at all. Laws create violence where there was no violence before. We only need a few simple rules and principles to stop violence and create a peaceful world.

Have you thought about that? It doesn't matter how inconsequential it may seem. Perhaps it's a law or regulation for some type of industry, profession, or art. How do you think those laws are going to be enforced?

Through violence or the threat of violence.

We can't claim to be peaceful people and support violence on nonviolent people.

If someone disagrees with the new law you supported or even voted on, then they may be met with violence or threat of violence. You are literally advocating violence on your neighbor if they don't go along with it.

Do you think someone has the right to tell you that you can't do something that doesn't harm anyone else?

But, it's distant from you and you're not doing the hurting, so it seems like you are innocent. But if you lobby for a new law, you are responsible for all the people that get hurt from it. Most laws are for nonviolent "crimes" or "crimes" with no victims. So do you want to see people who violate a nonviolent "crime" be hurt with violence or threat of violence?

NO VICTIM = NO CRIME

Do you know most laws or regulations are only for control? It's for the sake of creating a monopoly or decreasing competition. How is it decreasing competition? Through violence. If you braid your neighbors hair for a mutual exchange of money, and you don't go to beauty school and get a permit, you will be met with threat of violence. The threat of violence will be to pay a fine. If you refuse to pay a fine, you will be kidnapped and thrown in jail. If you resist, you will be met with violence. This is happening.

Maybe you've never thought about this before. But, you are still responsible. Do you want to have Freedom? Or do you want to control other people? The bad thing about advocating any laws that control other people is that it can be turned against you. Do you think someone has the right to tell you that you can't do something that doesn't harm anyone else?

Laws create violence where there was no violence before. We only need a few simple rules and principles.

Principles > Laws

We can solve our problems in a peaceful way with no violence. First, we run what we think is a problem through a filter.

  1. Does it violate the Non-Aggression Principle and Self-Ownership?
  2. Does it hurt noone?

If the answer to the first question is yes then it is morally wrong.

If the answer to the second question is yes then it is morally ok.

It's really very simple.

If a law deters more violence than it requires for enforcement then its net effect is to reduce violence and those who support that law are creating a less violent society.

History proves it doesn't work that way. Most laws actually CAUSE violence against people who are not being violent at all. I highly recommend you read the book FREEDOM! I recommended or listen to the audiobook.

Violence is wrong except in defense. The Non-Aggression Principle says that any aggression is wrong except in defense. That takes care of violence.

Steven Pinker's "Better Angels" book shows that we are currently living in the LEAST violent times the human race has ever experienced. A person alive today is less likely to die a violent death than at any previous time. I contend that is largely because of enforcement of laws against people being violent to each other. If and when enforcement comes to violence, I think it is best seen as a collective form of self defense.

I've seen articles on that. And, I've seen statistics. Violence has decreased but it can be decreased further. Governments are the leading causes death in the world today. Do you know how many innocent civilians are killed by drone strikes?

Do you know what Democide is? It's the killing of civilians by their own government. In the last 100 years, over 250 million people were killed by their own government.

Need for publishing this to the young just going to college and university. They are the future movers and shakers. Votes are not equal, unless one uses an old Roman level, in which a senator first needed to be successful businessman and then needed to be rich enough to buy a million votes. If today's computers could keep tabs on census, the buying of votes would mean that the laws passed would be the ones the voting was actually for. 😆
Resteemed.
