Firstly, stating that famine has never happened in the US? Simply not true. For example, St Lawrence Island in Alaska suffered an absolutely brutal famine in the late 1870s Yes, this happened a long time ago - but again, constitutional amendments are supposed to last forever.

Well look at that, I remembered Tumble Tuesday two weeks in a row!

Here's another group of people you should absolutely be following:

For Politics-HollyBailey, HuskerRed, AngryFuckingLiberal, TheAmericanBear

For News/Current Events- EvanFleischer, Kateoplis, AZspot

For Global Affairs- ThePalestineYouDontKnow, TheAfricaTheyNeverShowYou

AHAHAHAHAHA! Thanks for the clarification. When I saw your comment, I'd already gotten a few anons. Self-righteous, aren't they?

Shouldn’t Progressives avoid Wal Mart?

When you live in a small town, Walmart's the only gig in town open on a Sunday or much past 5 p.m. I avoid Walmart when I logistically can or can afford to avoid it. Sometimes, cost forces me to go to Walmart for things like groceries.

I'm also a member of our local food co-op and I do try to avoid Wally World. I shop elsewhere when I can afford it. However, as my brother and I used to cheer:

You are ruining libertarianism for me. Please stop with this utopian ideal and return to the world we inhabit. Taxes are a part of our social contract, so work with the paradigm of reforming them rather than pretending they are violations of rights.

I didn’t “enter a contract” just for being born. Much less one that demands my subservience and property for unrequested services rendered inefficiently.

And if your alleged flirtations with libertarianism are so fragile as to be ruined by simple logic and reason, I'm afraid your cause may already be lost (especially in context of some of your other posts and reblogs). I've offered steps to "work within the system" before, but it's perhaps more important to understand the philosophy of liberty to better grasp its practical purpose and visualize its ideological goal. Libertarianism, through the principles of self-ownership and non-aggression, is both consequential in its understanding what is efficient and best for most individuals and deontological in advocating what is morally right. A Libertarian is no utopian.
