On The LIFESTYLE Of A Freedom-Lover - Defined As "One Who DESPISES The State": Take #5

The "LRC Lifestyle" featured on LewRockwell.com today found a resounding echo within me, for I have so much in common with these "anarcho-capitalists" of America, that I thought it worthwhile to feature it on this blog, so as to advertise these "attitudes to living" that freedom lovers elsewhere, particularly in India, could adopt as their own.

The comments below each are mine, with quotes from the LRC article above within quotation marks wherever they occur.

1. We Treasure Books: This is surely the most important aspect  of the freedom-lover's lifestyle - to get to "know" the Truth, why Freedom matters, why it works, and why the State is NOT to be trusted - in anything, and particularly not in "education." To become a freedom-lover requires RE-EDUCATION - and this requires lots and lots of BOOKS.

2. We Choose Health: It is NOT the case that the Freedom-lover expects The State to "look after him" and his health. On the contrary - he carefully "studies" all the matter pertaining to "natural good health," and tries to maintain his own health thereby. 

The LRC chaps say, "Prevention of illness is a top priority for us, as opposed to resorting to conventional medical treatment after the fact.  We want to learn the underlying causes of any health-related issues. We're likely to keep an open mind and seek out supplements, treatments, and techniques that keep us out of the doctor's office or hospital.  And we feel a whole lot better for it."

I will add: Floss your teeth. Keep the dentist away!

On LRC, the regular columns by Joseph Mercola, a "naturopath," are most educative - especially on the harmful effects of junk foods, junk drinks, and "prescription drugs" as well. 

I recommend them highly - and commend LRC for publishing many such "natural health" columnists regularly. 

3. We Believe That Fitness Is a Key Element: This includes maintaining one's good, natural health - as outlined above - and also with "good exercise," "good work," and "good leisure." 

All these are vital for a "healthy mind and spirit" - and these are as important, if not more, than a "healthy body."

At LRC they also talk about "good food" - as a rejection of the "Standard American Diet" - but no one I know, in India as well as Europe, has ever adopted such a diet.

However, a good diet is as essential as all the others.

I am into sattvik food myself - which I make myself.

At LRC, too, they say, "The best food we can enjoy is made right in our own kitchens, with the right tools and recipes to make it fun and efficient. "

That's the way!     

4. We Love Guns: As with "health" - so with "safety and security." And I have always maintained that "a gun in the hand is far, far better than a cop on the phone." Imagine phoning the Indian cops, anyway!

5. We Reject Government-Mandated Nonsense: - as with Edison's bulbs! Or anything else, for that matter.

ANYTHING - and EVERYTHING!

Especially including DRUGS!

Do read my The Intelligent Pleasure-Seeker's Guide to Getting High from the right-hand bar - and you will realise that "public health," in both the USSA as well as India, would vastly IMPROVE if both ABOLISHED their "narco cops." That is, instead of new taxes for Obamacare - huge tax cuts, and tax savings, to SPEND on getting high, having a jolly good time, and remaining in NATURAL GOOD HEALTH!

Legislation, and customs duties would also need repeal: as in the case of the State of Washington, where "recreational marijuana" has just been legalised, but wherefrom do they IMPORT the best stuff? Afghanistan? Morocco? Or Mexico - where it is NOT legal yet? "Marijuana" is the Mexican word for ganja. What about charas?

Anyway, it's a new thing, ain't it - especially for American "liberal constitutionalism" - that they require a "civil government" to "protect them from themselves"?

As for us in socialist India - we are UNSAFE even as PEDESTRIANS.

The rules of the road - have NOT been lodged,

And it's these POLITICAL GAMES we've gotta dodge.

6. We Proudly Display Signs of Resistance: The chaps at LRC write: "We love seeing some of confused and horrified reactions to our anti-state symbols.  The peace and anarchy flags, the bumper and window stickers, and definitely the t-shirts. Stay tuned – LRC's new SECEDE! bumper sticker is on the way.

We in India need such "signs of resistance" for our Freedom-lovers to "proudly display" - like SECEDE! 

7. We Prize Technology, Gadgets and Tools: Only I know how much I have been "empowered" by the Internet, Blogger, and Google Images - and there are SO MANY such technological tools available today for mass dissemination of vital opinions on crucial issues that Freedom-lovers MUST be fully equipped technologically so as to be able to use these for maximum effect. 

It is NOT the VOTE! 

It is NOT the "size of the public rally" - which matters to politicians. 

Rather, it is ONLY the mass outreach of CONTRARIAN VIEWS such as ours that really matters.

8. We'll Be Prepared for Whatever Is Ahead: The chaps at LRC write, "We don't give any credence to government propaganda or the MSM (is there a difference?). We understand the concept of honest money and the wreckage caused by the state and its monetary system. We'll be prepared for natural and government-caused disasters, be they bank runs, civil unrest, or whatever."



So, Freedom-lovers elsewhere - especially in India - be warned.

GOLD, GUNS, GANJA... and all your other vital necessities.

Don't forget the AMMO!


Keep yourself fully prepared - for the inevitable ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, and SOCIAL CRASH.

I repeat: INEVITABLE!
