Gun Control

 

Mankind needs gun control. And it needs a really large amount of it. This will diminish crime significantly.

All roads, transportation, parks, schools, businesses, and homes should be made private and capitalist. None should be out-of-control, law-of-the-jungle, collectivist or communist monstrosities. And the owners of the various private and capitalist properties should control the guns on them completely.

The private property owners might allow a huge number of guns on their land, including pistols, rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, anti-tank Javelins, and 175 mm howitzers. Or they might forbid BB and Nerf guns. The choice is up to them. Anyone who doesn’t like it can go cry on someone else’s property. But owner gun control should be absolute.

Similarly, the private property masters of the different real estates, vehicles, and buildings should also determine who exactly is allowed to possess weapons and under what conditions. Such owners could permit everyone, no-one, or just some. And they could grant this privilege for any reason whatever, however foolish, arbitrary, and “unfair“. But the owners’ gun control should be total.

Because the fact is: allowing or forbidding arms on one’s private property is a matter of personal freedom, and one of the inalienable rights of man.

Without a doubt, the owners of these various private properties will overwhelmingly tend to seek the highest level of security and public protection possible. And by using their intelligence, insight, education, virtue, and experience, it’s likely they will obtain a really high level of these.

People will be incredibly safe. After all, owners have every incentive to keep their visitors unharmed. In the first place, no-one wants bad guys to get guns and shoot good guys. But especially not private property owners. If anyone gets hurt, their level of personal guilt, social condemnation, and legal liability will likely be considerable.

Hence, if society wants to minimize the shooting and death of innocents, it needs to institute an extreme level of gun control. This is the property owners’ right and duty.

It is not the government’s right or duty. Gun control by the state is tyranny. And the world knows from long experience that government gun control is often so inept and criminal that it results in even business and home-owners being unable to secure basic arms to protect their valuable premises, customers, friends, and family. The crooks run rampant. And, of course, gun control by the state – itself an act of tyranny – often leads to tyranny of the whole society.

To prevent a great deal of unnecessary destruction and death, the world needs a massive increase in gun control. But by property owners – not government.

Individual Lives vs. the Right and the Left

 

Life and the Individual are sacred. No-one should dare to touch them. No-one for any reason should dare to trespass upon, violate, attack, or destroy them.

But right-wing conservatives and left-wing progressives disagree. Philosophical Rightists don’t worship life or the individual. They consider "god" to be sacred. And they selflessly devote themselves to serving it.

Philosophical Leftists don’t worship life or the individual either. They consider "the collective" to be sacred. And they selflessly devote themselves to serving it.

Both evil ideologies oppose individual rights. This is because both the irrational, illiberal Right and the irrational, illiberal Left reject personal greatness and happiness. Right-wing conservatives and left-wing progressives contemptuously dismiss individual lives as unimportant or meaningless. Unless the insect-like individual is immolating himself in servitude to some Rightist or Leftist ideal, he doesn’t matter.

Of course, both false and failed philosophies solemnly promise that in the Neverland of some distant future, individuals will finally get to live in some "heaven" or "social utopia". But the Holy Individual and his irreplaceable existence today are trivial or worthless.

Both Right and Left assure us that in pursuit of some remote, delusional, conservative, or progressive ideal, the individual may essentially be stomped upon. Based upon their supposedly lofty and noble philosophies, Rightists and Leftists tell us that the Sacred Self and his irreplaceable existence may be decently ground into the dirt and destroyed.

Brainwashing

 

We’re all heavily brainwashed. We think we aren’t, but we are. We almost entirely agree with and accept whatever our family, friends, teachers, and society say and do. We disagree with and reject some of it, yes, but these are mostly side issues or trivia. And we almost completely allow the indoctrinators to frame the debate, set the context, and point us in the general direction.

The brainwashers are also careful to puff us up, and tell us how smart and good we are, as we inadvertently, but obediently, toe their line. And it’s precisely the fact that we proudly and defiantly fancy ourselves untouched, uncorrupted, and unbrainwashable, that makes us such intellectually helpless and defenseless victims.

Humans are wildly adaptable. Even if we grow up or live in Hell, we easily embrace it, like it, and consider everything in our awful world to be quite normal, natural, unremarkable, and good. Oh, there may be a few things we damn, and have personal or social disputes about, in this hellacious society, philosophy, culture, and lifestyle. But mostly it seems fine to us, or even wonderful.

Similarly, if we grow up or live in Paradise, we easily, blithely, casually accept it, and consider everything in our heavenly world to be quite normal, natural, boring, and nothing to get excited about or be impressed by. Yes, it’s all quite nice, perhaps. But if we see just one more person leap for joy or dance with delight we’re gonna shoot ourselves.

Ultimately, all us unfoolable, savvy, brave, heroic rebels and revolutionaries are much more docile, compliant, and submissive than we realize. The accidental and deliberate brainwashing and indoctrination inflicted upon us by our family, friends, teachers, and society is much more effective and dominant than we suppose.

Ostracism and Boycott

Humans are naturally social creatures. They have a tremendous ability to influence each other. Sometimes it’s in their self-interest to do so, sometimes it’s in the interest of those they influence, and sometimes it’s both. But humans are highly vulnerable to persuasion by others.

People can influence others via reason, logic, discussion, and debate. And this is usually the ideal. But they can also impact others thru trickeration, psychological manipulation, emotional blackmail, and guilt. And thru personal insults and moral condemnation. Also thru public insults and public condemnation. And thru private and public respect, praise, admiration, and love – another ideal. And certainly people can persuade others via financial reward and punishment.

Still another method for human beings to influence their fellows, alas, is thru physical threats and harm. But this persuasive technique is criminal, tyrannical, and something good people should avoid.

If an individual or group wishes to change the mind and behavior of another individual or group, there are many ways to do so. Hence, slowing down or stopping social immorality, criminality, and tyranny is far from difficult. Humans are intricately and powerfully interlaced, if not interlocked. For all our natural individual freedom and autonomy, there’s a whole giant social fabric, if not web, in which we’re all enmeshed, or even trapped.

If a person is a lowlife or lawbreaker, he can be immensely influenced to behave and improve by the crude power of social ostracism and economic boycott. So can a whole nation or government.

Indeed, a tyranny can quickly be brought to its knees in this fashion. It can almost be destroyed. And all without firing a shot.

If, for example, America and the West wish to reform and uplift the slave nations of China, Russia, Pakistan, North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe, and many others, they can easily do so. They just need to use ostracism and boycott, mounted upon the foundation of intellectual refutation and moral damnation. They don’t have to use the military. Acting in accord with truth and justice is hugely powerful.

But if the semi-liberal, semi-civilized nations of America and the West somehow attempt to weaken or overthrow these evil, enemy dictatorships via social and economic engagement, they will fail, and they will deserve to. Such cooperation with, and appeasement of, human horror and depravity enables the slave-masters and the slave-nations. It results in moral endorsement, social approval, and economic enrichment. The dictators radically grow in their ability to enslave the nation with their police, and harm other nations with their military.

America and the West today need to almost completely change their policy toward these evil, enemy nations and tyrannies. They need to counter-attack by employing the hammer blows of social ostracism, economic boycott, intellectual refutation, and moral condemnation.
