Ralph Hayes Jr. is an American comic artist, known for his radical Libertarian/Anarcho-Capitalism ( It got fuzzy at times ) and Young-Earth Creationism. While his blog is dead and gone, the craziest of his writing was preserved.
Yes, he's a brony and a furry. Nothing wrong with either of those communities, it was the crazy ideology that made him worth posting here.
America was not the only nation to own slaves. It was however the first (and thus far only) nation where the slave-owning class went to war to FREE the slaves. And as far as that goes, the Civil War was a hell of a lot more complicated than just Free vs Slave, too. (almost unknown factoid: while the North was chastising the south for owning slaves, it was whalloping the south with taxes and tariffs on the cotton trade--- most of the government revenue came from taxes on the South, and was spent mostly on the North. The north ALSO conspired to deny them representation, by declaring black people only worth 2/3 a white person in the Census... which decided how many Representatives the south got. LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT. It was never about ending slavery, it was about stopping the South from seceding. ) Muslims and african nations, btw, still have slavery.
Yes, America has fought in most every major war since its founding. Largely because the rest of you tossers won't leave us the hell alone. Had to fight a revolution just to get the brits to leave us alone. then 1812, we had to fight them again to get them to stop boarding our ships and kidnapping our sailors. then in the early 20th the kaiser started attacking our trade ships. Then in 1941 the japanese bomb our harbor. Then the soviets start trying to swallow up the world, so there we were in Korea and Vietnam, and posting OUR troops to protect everyone ELSE'S country. THAT goes by the wayside and the Arabs start flying planes into our buildings! Yes, we're warlike, because people keep waging WAR on us!
Look at the people that that espouse socialism, or even head up socialist societies and parties and movements. Kim il Jong, Kim il Sung, Hitler, Lenin, Obama, Pelosi... conquerors through the pitiful art of politics, and nothing more, with nothing of accomplishment in their own personal lives than that.
Didn't we fight a revolution over this bullcrap?
Yes, the American Revolution had other extenuating circumstances, but the seed at the heart of it all was the recognition that it was immoral to have one human being lord it over another as if it were their natural right.
I find the notion of raising a random individual to absolute power over others without the consent of the governed to be morally reprehensible.
It SHOULD be. It once WAS, at least in America. It was why we became a country in the first place: because we finally decided that the 'divine' rule of kings was bunk, and demonstrably so. We conceived (or rediscovered) the notion that people should rule by the consent of the governed. More importantly and fundamentally, that there were certain absolute ethical and moral principles in the universe that must be respected and obeyed, even by those who rule--- rule of Law, not of Men. Certain inalienable rights that were both self-evident and unamendable.
This is where you get the rationalization for all the evils of "liberalism." From graduated income tax to zero-competition participation medals, Political Correctness to SJWs. When they can't compete with opposing ideologies because the opposition is successful where theirs is not, they make it a morality/thought/hate crime to be successful.
There was also this hilarious incident where he tried to ascribe the radio, the assembly line, and various other innovations to Americans in order explain the truth of the majestic superiority of American capitalism and ingenuityTM over the economies of all other nations. He didn't seem impressed when told that Marconi was Italian.
Eventually, he got tired of all the sjws and special snowflakes calling him out on his views, and packed up his bags and fled his blogging platform.
There was also a whole lot of additional /r/enoughlibertarianspam and /r/badpolitics regarding anything left of Barry Goldwater, but that isn't necessarily the purview of this subreddit.
( Mods, I've checked the rules and this post might not necessarily fit in perfectly. If it needs to be removed, that's fine. )
