We should push back against being crowded into the cities. We should radiate into all the rural places. It's necessary first to evade the zombies and minions. Those who have been weaponized by propaganda against free people. I think we will do this on an independent basis. There isn't any freedom in the city. Cities are death mills.

What was it that Henry David Thoreau said? " Civil disa... civil disre... civil disobee..." something like that.

Lawlessness on the scale mentioned breeds reactions like those of Ted Kazinski and Tim McVey; and to a less violent extent like those of the 1/6 patriots. The harder they push the greater will be the reaction... unless they just succeed in tearing the hearts out of those still sensible enough to be aware. Some of those with such hearts languish in a dank D.C. jail.

In an extended critique of The Federalist, the pre-Civil War Southern political philosopher John C. Calhoun argued that any system of taxation inevitably divided citizens into two antagonistic groups - the net tax payers and the net tax consumers:

"… it must necessarily follow, that some one portion of the community must pay in taxes more than it receives back in disbursements; while another receives in disbursements more than it pays in taxes… The necessary result, then, of the unequal fiscal action of the government is, to divide the community into two great classes; one consisting of those who, in reality, pay the taxes, and, of course, bear exclusively the burthen of supporting the government; and the other, of those who are the recipients of their proceeds, through disbursements, and who are, in fact, supported by the government; or, in fewer words, to divide it into tax-payers and tax-consumers."
