The Old Right Opposed Tariffs

‘Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" - Benjamin Franklin

I would also add, it's pretty hard for anyone on this forum to try to act like they deserve to even play this high horse card.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU ARE COWARDS WHO GIVE UP THEIR ESSENTIAL LIBERTY EVERY DAY IN ORDER TO PURCHASE A LITTLE TEMPORARY SAFETY.

EVERY DAY.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU.

At least I can admit it.

I'm a slave and I could be doing something about it right now but I'm not. It's just too fucking comfortable in this air conditioned house right now.

We wouldn't even need to be talking about free trade right now if EVERY ONE OF US WASN'T SUCH A GODDAMN COWARD.

/rant off
[MENTION=5460]CCTelander[/MENTION] how bout you go nut up or shut up. i'm not gonna do it but i'll at least admit it

There is a VAST difference between giving in to one’s self-preservation instincts and grudgingly complying with SOME of the bullshit so as not to wind up dead or in prison, which you are correct in saying all of us do to one extent or another, and publicly advocating that more of those “essential Libert[ies]” be stripped away for the sake of your own temporary safety, which is what you’ve been doing.

If you can’t see that difference, well, then I feel sorry for you.

Carry on.

There is no difference at all. We can either address the root issue - which we refuse to do - or we can keep applying sub-standard patch fixes to try keep our slavery running as smoothly as possible.

If you're not willing to do what needs to be done, you have no right to accuse others of wanting to apply patch fixes that don't address the root issue.

If patch fixes keep us comfortable, I'll keep doing that. Regardless of whatever high horse morals you claim to hold.

I would also add that I have never advocated for any Liberty to be stripped. You have accused me of that but it's simply not true.

There is nothing "liberty stripping" about closing off free trade. You interpret it to be that way because you are locked in a mindset of the status quo where we are all slaves. But in a theoretical world which does not exist and probably will never exist*, there is the possibility to have voluntary societies that choose to voluntarily close themselves off from trade. That - and only that - is what I have ever advocated for.

I have always - always - supported the right to secede. At every level. Whatever policy choices I prefer - free trade or otherwise - I always support your right to take your ball and go home.

So don't give me this shit about me advocating for liberty to be stripped.

(* And it never will exist, because as pointed above, we are all cowards)

Larken Rose actually stood up to the system to the point that he was imprisoned.

Unfortunately, on this RPF, there are few to none who even care to acknowledge him.

Was he? Damn. Good for him, was not aware.

Yea, I would have assumed I would have seen a thread or something on this here.

Sure, but don't call me a liar, because I despise liars, and I'm not one.

In all fairness, I have what some would consider a photographic memory which is why I can pull things out of a hat so fast ;):tears:

Didn't say you was a liar. Not even saying CC's a liar, but his statement is not an accurate representation of the truth. I've never advocated for anyone's liberty be stripped.

What's reasonable for an individual making their own purchase decisions, is not always what's best for the nation as a whole. As mentioned previously, I have proven this in a separate thread and I welcome any rebuttals. (here)

And therefore for the individual in the long run.

"Libertarian" con man Peter Thiel and the QAnon have been promoting that line of thinking for quite some time.

It's also interesting that Robert Lighthizer, described as the "architect" of Trump's trade policies, led the implementation of tariffs and the "trade war" against China. All which are contrary to what Ron Paul and this site stand for.

Has BlackRock infiltrated the RPF? I know that I am growing more fond of Whitney Webb by the minute, wow is she a wealth of information!

Tariffs are not contrary to Ron Paul or this site.

Webb is clearly controlled opposition assigned to blackpill and suppress.
