acquiescence to organized crime
about a year ago i finally woke up and revised my language toward honesty in addressing the state. sure, voluntarists sometimes call the state criminal, but often turn around and then use cover brainwash words such as "government". government is a good and necessary thing — when you do it yourself. when it's done to a peaceful you, the correct word is slavery.some asshole smashed my car window two days ago and ripped out my cheapo GPS. he was kind enough to leave me his window smashing tool, should i want to take the LRC route of replacing my lost wealth with wealth stolen from another. now most people would be super pissed that someone decided to smash and steal their property. this hooligan thrust 10 hours of tasks and inconvenience onto me (not including reporting the act to his competition — cops — which would have been pointless). should i in addition to the window replace the GPS, i'm out much more than what i paid for it originally at a kickass sale (i called best buy on a lark and asked if they might have price matching for stolen items; they don't).
unlike with the state, however, this burglar fuck didn't demand that i mail my GPS to him, along with the remnants of the window i smashed because he told me to. no, in the US that pleasure of demanding servile indignity is reserved to the official crime syndicates, federal and state.
guaranteed if i'd seen this vermin at my car, i'd have holstered up and walked out there to attempt an arrest, using what threat of violence would be necessary and reasonable; within limits his competition allows me that still. trying that when the official crime gangs make their demands for much higher cost? not a plan that encourages victim physical integrity. mental integrity's another matter.
though the window-smashing vermin didn't give me advance notice, it's not like his official competition usually does so out of courtesy. their notice is a threat, and one published widely for efficiency and intimidation purposes, not for any courtesy beyond the illusory and false. aside from the short/missing notice, the window smasher was far better to me than the state.
the usual hangdog promise of victims of "petty" (oh it's sure as hell not petty) crime: "man, if only i coulda caught that motherfucker..."
the usual promise of victims of systematic, official crime: "yes, sir. right away, sir. as you say, sir."
i'm looking within myself for the answer. you looking too, or are you a perpetual buttboy of the state, without even hope of honor? are you, instead of examining yourself, trying to relieve guilt by implying that since i'm using a GPS and stolen roads it's time to partake in plunder without meter or shame?
