A friendly shout out to “Kokes” and “Stokes” from their favorite “annoying and ignorant troll”!
Recently there’s been a plague of moral relativism seeping into Voluntaryist circles, in regard to definitions about what Voluntaryism is (hint: it doesn’t involve gaining authority over people, or ownership of resources, via violence-based electoral processes). It’s really quite laughable, so I hope you’ll take a moment to laugh with me at some of the tomfoolery, and that we can all come together to help assure, comfort, and gently correct, these, our yet logically...errr...mushy...brothers and sisters.
Cheers! And all in good fun!

The irony is that people like this are happy to lump different categories together only in so far as they consider themselves to be higher up the food chain: they're OK with dismissing any differences between apples and oranges when they're pushing fruit, but totally against people like yourself pointing out the fact that there is in reality very little difference (if indeed any) between them and any other wannabe politico-scumbag clawing their way to the White House. In other words, they couldn't give a damn for the simple distinctions which form the basis of communication and truth for everyday human beings, but make the world of contrived distinctions which attempt to set them apart from the rest of the pseudo-elitist thuggery. Saying apples are the same things as oranges = OK; saying Kokesh is the same thing as every other politician = NOT OK! But which is it?! Can't have it both ways!!
That is an excellent observation man. Hadn't thought of it that way. Too true. I realized these types only use logical lines of thinking when it benefits the case they wish to make, but yeah, if they are going to generalize regarding ethical philosophies, why am I not allowed to generalize regarding their slimy politicking? Higher up the food chain, indeed, and won't even admit they're trying to eat.
@kafkanarchy84 "I wish you would just agree with me and then I would not have to answer your questions", "lets just talk about what I want to talk about" and in my nicest gentlest voice I will convince you that I am right.
Wow just listening to the debate, and wow how much was he selling himself at the beginning, always wary of people who feel they need to sell themselves.
Exactly! You get it!
We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires.
It's like people saying "we promote freedom of speech, so you ahve to say this, and you can't say that...".
Hahaha. True.
The words should reflect in actions.
Well exactly.
Needless to say, this video was hilarious.
Sadly, in many ways, this does seem to be the case.
lol thanx for your so eloquent illustrations as to why I tell people like that to go fuck themselves about 3 sentences into the conversation.
Hahah.
Hahahaha! Absolutely priceless bro! So entertaining & poignant :-) Definitely the highlight of my current airport visit. I just finished Adam & Larken's debate, about to start yours, and working on breaking down my thoughts & feelings on the whole thing.
Haha. Cheers man. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Here it is
That was like the cheech and chong version of anarchy vs ? That's a compliment, very cool - very funny.
I'm making a video and part of it deals with asking questions to help someone determine their political persuasion. So, I was searching around and came across a couple of tests to determine exactly that. uh huh lol
The first test said I was a dangerous anarchist. The second one said I was a moderate democrat. I used to be a constitutionalist. Ron Paul, save the constitution, oh yeah.
If anyone has some ideas, please feel free to share them. tia
Reality vs. the relativism of Kokes and Stokes.
I don't think a test is going to pinpoint a person's political persuasion but it can definitely tell you what your not, like a democrat or a republican.
And maybe that's enough.
Why I don't like labels
Would you say calling an apple an apple is violent?
No, but I would say calling yourself an anarchist is being violent. I see no violence in calling a human a human but when we begin categorizing humans, you separate them and that is violence.
The greatest illusion is that of separation.
I don't know why it's not enough to just know right from wrong.
You called yourself “I” in your initial comment here. Does that make you violent, as it separates you from the rest of humanity?
It doesn't "make" me violent, but it is violent.
Damn your beard got long. It's been that long, huh ;).
Haha. It’s how I measure time anymore. How you feeling this week?
Oh, better, but the insomnia is tiring. Tomorrow heading to Thailand, unable to steem much, trying to work for better days. Can't miss out the birth of my son, who knows how long we have to miss out on the things that matter in life. I've battled many illnesses and they are getting worse now. I should still experience the good things in life before I can't anymore.
This was a really excellent made video and funny lol.
Thanks for the laughs
Cheers, @wordsword. Thank you.
@kafkanarch 84さん😁✋パスタrecipeのresteem ありがとうございました。
ワインすき♥ですか？
ワインにあいますので ぜひ
つくってみてくださいね😁
Thank you 💃
本当に美味しそう！！！
an apple is not an orange, but they are both fruits. The problem with Adam's use of language is that he sometimes does not use words like they really mean so he ends up not making sense and/or contradicting himself. Like when he advocates a top down approach to localism. Oranges are Ok but I far prefer apples.
Well, he outright and directly says both.
An apple’s an orange!
That’s what I said, an apple’s an apple!
He speaks from both sides of his mouth like any other politician.
We have always been at war with Eurasia!
