Rita, what interests you in comparing/defending Trump and Biden? Given your disinterest in voting in general, your inability to vote in the U.S. election, and your apparently somewhat "free-fall libertarianism" bent. Trump is a career "business person" who has, demonstrably, been not very good at that, nor, really, his TV persona, which is attractive to a small group of masochistic TV watchers, from my observations. Biden is a career politician. You may think badly of that, too, but from a background POV, I'm not seeing the difference. While Biden may be "guilty" of agreeing with decisions that caused world-wide conflict repercussions, during the same time, Trump was busy driving smaller firms into bankruptcy or suicide due to his unethical business practices.
You don't like the strictly dualist U.S. system, but you don't seem to be mad interested in the proportional representation movement in Canada. So, what, other than tiny family units, and no central services, like emergency services, or health services, or libraries, or education, might you possibly propose? We can't all move back out to the country and operate 150-unit "tribes".
You made a stronger case for Trump than Biden. Why? Can you vote in the U.S. Election?
There are over 13,000 posts. It is obviously a thread of interest ...
I am participating as an anti-statist in the hopes of dispelling some illusions.
You label me 'free fall libertarian" ... I am a non partisan anti war conscientious objector to governments that have lost their legitimacy by having been Incorporated into the Global Cabal of Technocratic Oligarchs.
If you want to see the real 'government' agenda then go to the WEF Great Reset page and study that.
It is not a conspiracy site ... and it covers every detail of global governance strategy imaginable.
There really is no stone left unturned ... but you all insist that I am the one that does not know what I am talking about.
They have painted every scenario possible and it still comes down to a New World Order.
The New World Order that all the presidents and prime ministers have been talking about for many decades.
Now if you go to that website you might think it all sounds wonderful.
I would not agree but that is a different can of worms all together.
The politics that I follow as alternatives ... I have presented more than one ... and more than once.
They are all dismissed. That is fine. They are still the alternatives that give me hope.
I think the last one you dismissed with 'not going with people who arm themselves' or something to that effect ... but you do think that voting for 'the military industrial complex' is a better option ... I find that baffling.
I will not be persuaded that Biden is better than Trump or that Trump is better than Biden.
Neither of them should be an option ... they have sold their souls to the company store ... end of story.
I am here connecting the dots ... which have their bearings in what is going on behind the scenes not in front of them.
So yes ... there are many people that I follow that are working on alternate models of governance ... and of course they don't all agree with each other either ... but the ones that I am most interested in are apparently not worth talking about in this forum ... no matter how many times I offer them up for consideration.
So while I am here ...
I am motivated by my passion for dispelling the illusions around what you might call democracy and I would call a religion of statism.
Again if you insist on labeling me then currently I am placing my 'vote' on the voluntary principle of political rules without corporate rulers or martial law.
This dictates that we do not force our idea of “better” on someone else, and it protects us from having someone else’s idea of “better” imposed on us by force.
The use of coercion to compel virtue eliminates its possibility, for to be moral, an act must be uncoerced.
If a person is compelled to act in a certain way (or threatened with government sanctions), there is nothing virtuous about his or her behavior.
Freedom of choice is a necessary ingredient for the achievement of virtue.
Whenever there is a chance for the good life, the risk of a bad one must also be accepted.
