02c. 1966 ADA man goes to a foreign country and kills somebody who's not aggressing against him; in a Hawaiian shirt he's a criminal, in a green costume he's a hero who gets a parade and a pension. So that, as a culture, we remain in a state of moral insanity. To point out these contradictions to people in society is to be labeled insane. This is how insane society remains, that anybody who points out logical opposites in the most essential human topic of ethics, is considered to be insane.Stefan Molyneux / quote ↗
03c. 1966 ADCan social progress be made without government?It's like saying 'can happiness be achieved without the initiation of violence? Can romance be achieved without rape? Can profitability be achieved without theft? Can economic growth be achieved without the mass indebted enslavement and counterfeiting of the federal reserve?'.Stefan Molyneux / quote ↗
04c. 1966 ADThe government is a giant logjam in the eternal river of human potential.Stefan Molyneux / quote ↗

07c. 1966 ADGovernment is a gun that shoots money at your enemy and blows up in your face.Stefan Molyneux / quote ↗
08c. 1966 ADYou look back in time to when there was slavery and you think 'how did people even remotely believe that this was a good idea?'.It's incomprehensible for us to think of what the mindset was 100 or 200 years ago. I hope to make the present as incomprehensible to the future as the past is to us.Stefan Molyneux / quote ↗
09c. 1966 ADPromote the voluntary family; voluntarism is the only known cure for abuses of power - in politics, the economy or the family.Stefan Molyneux / quote ↗
10c. 1966 ADThe entire Nazi war machine was only possible because of past, present and future violations of the non aggression principle (achievable only through government).Stefan Molyneux / quote ↗
11c. 1966 ADI don’t fundamentally understand why people give a shit about what other people put up their noses or what other people put in their veins or what other people breathe into their lungs. I mean I sort of care like if somebodies an addict it’s very destructive to people around that addict. It’s destructive to themselves. I’d like to get them help. I certainly support that which is to get that person help but, I don’t understand how people wake up and say I have to eradicate drug use across the land. “I gotta stick my nose into the business of what other people stick up their nose.” I just find that incomprehensible. I mean, is your life so vacant and so hysterical, so empty, so void of love, care and affection? I can go play with my daughter or I can go and obsessively try and get politicians to throw people in jail for doing things I don’t like. I can’t imagine why people would be choosing option “B” but, only because they don’t have anyone who loves them or, anyone they care about. They don’t have any rich, significant, important, hobbies, relationships, artistic pursuits or anything rich enough to keep them from obsessing about what other people do or bossing and bulling what other people do. This “stick your nose in other people’s business” Is so compulsive and epidemic to human society.Stefan Molyneux / quote ↗
12c. 1966 AD(To the haters) You are not extinguishing the bright lights of mankind, you're simply burying yourself in an unmarked grave.Stefan Molyneux / quote ↗
13c. 1966 ADIt is really exhausting to live in a dictatorship of 'Me', which is basically a tyranny of others.Stefan Molyneux / quote ↗
15c. 1966 ADTo connect is to dissolve the imaginary pyramids of artificial privilege.Stefan Molyneux / quote ↗
16c. 1966 ADYes I pay taxes... There are no ethics in the face of coercion, that is blaming the victim. Focus on the man with the gun, not the man in the crosshairs trying to survive.Stefan Molyneux / quote ↗
18c. 1966 ADThe genuine values in America arose from rational thought and breaking with tradition, not from blind allegiance to dirt and cloth.Stefan Molyneux / quote ↗
