Why I'm no longer an "anti-government extremist"

I agree with a lot of what she said, but anarchy has its own set of pitfalls. I also don't agree with her apparent belief that it was horrid for foreign countries to go into undeveloped 3rd world countries to build infrastructure and start companies. Many of these places would still be in mud huts had they not done so.
 
Once you study more philosophy (not political or economic), you might reach that point. Or, you realize libertarianism is just as bad as conservatism/liberalism.

(Didn't watch video.)

There's plenty of "first world" people who aspire to go back to mud huts over high-rises. I'm no Luddite, but forcing people to live to other people's standards and work 9-5 desk jobs has proven to have a hell of a lot of pitfalls, big government being just one of them.

Unless they welcome it, leave other people alone on their lands.

Agreed. Ask some Africans if they would not prefer to go back to mud huts rather than deal with westernization. Mogadishu is nice town I guess.

And a lot of them would disagree also. Apparently, they like to eat and drink clean water. Who woulda figured?

I believe I may have jumped the gun in my previous post. (Ya got trouble)

What specifically in the OP's video leads you to use the words "her apparent belief"?

And that's our problem because.....???
 
If people want to live in mud huts more power to them. I'm sure my people (Cherokee) would rather do without the reservation life that DC has so wonderfully bestowed upon them. In any case, the force is strong in this lass.

Agree. As a Cherokee/Lumbee I would prefer the freedom to live as I choose, mud hut or otherwise.

The American 9-5 Dream is really enslavement.

This may be entirely too nerdy, but I believe in the prime directive. And in order to bring "democracy and civilization" to people, you have to perpetrate quite a bit of violence unless you actually make and keep a contract with the people who are on the land.

Say that someday a secular country finds a Christian country to be backwards, dirty and uneducated (we're on our way), so they decide to colonize it (us) in order to "make us better" (get our resources, they don't actually give a crap about us uneducated boobs.) Is it okay for them to point a gun at you, take your land, put you in their "school," and then go work in their factory (perhaps a nice mine)?

If you're okay with that happening to you by a "superior" race, then okay. Have a look around a trailer park sometime and tell me that someone couldn't see themselves as superior to us and use your same justification.
