Nederlander Rene Hartman’s latest thoughtful comment appears as the 21st response under my recent posting “Setting Up the Straw Man,” below. I realize traffic falls off for the comments under a week-old column — especially if said “comments” column is clogged with repetitive sneers from someone who declines to cite or contribute facts, real-world examples, or logical arguments, instead merely donning the cape of a self-appointed Bishop of the Church of Libertarian Purity and dismissing as “evil” any viewpoint differing from his own.<\/p>\n

So here’s Rene’s latest, well worth reading, as a separate post: <\/p>\n

Brunette, Vin,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thoughtful responses. Not sure if I read Vin\u2019s section on \u2018showing my papers\u2019 correctly, as my point is that with the current state of affairs, a call for closed borders will end up in you having t show your papers while the colonists will keep being imported, their entry not affected by those \u2018closed borders\u2019 at all.<\/p>\n

Proof? http:\/\/www.telegraaf.nl\/binnenland\/26083109\/__Van_Amstel_redt_150_migranten__.html<\/a> will tell you (through google translate) how the Dutch Navy does not protect the outer borders of Europe but actually conducts a ferry-service. A Frontex surveilance plane will spot boats with migrants at sea and the border \u2018guards\u2019 will pick \u2018m up and ferry them ashore, in Europe, not at their embarkment point outside the border. For this frigate alone it\u2019s the third such action in 10 days, willfully importing 578 colonists in total.<\/p>\n

For those who still are of the opinion that these people are fugitives in pursuit of their happiness and a better life, read this:
\nIn Calais, 7.000 violent migrants are trying to get to the UK while shouting slogans showing they hate and despise that country, showing they want to conquer, not to assimilate. Now the UK has voted to exit the EU, and control its own borders again, France has already threatened to allow those colonists to cross the Channel by way of punishment, implicitly giving the very clear message these colonists are indeed a plague, not the \u2018enrichment\u2019 they\u2019ve claimed them to be over the past few months, despite multiple rapes, robberies and violemt acts of vandalism. https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/348308-calais-brexit-borders-migrants\/<\/a><\/p>\n

As far as the \u2018new model of warfare\u2019 goes: it\u2019s not so new, IMHO, but a thinly disguised variety of the old one. Now the war is through politics, \u2018laws\u2019 and regulations, instead of a massive attack with guns and tanks\/planes which receives a massive response. But the guns still come out as soon as anyone refuses to obey those new \u2018laws\u2019 and regulations. BIG difference is that this disobedience will not be massive, and can thus easily be contained, while painting the individual defying the state in the media as a \u2018loner\u2019, a \u2018disturbed character\u2019 or even a (dangerous) \u2018criminal\u2019, and emphasize how lucky we are to have a state to \u2018protect\u2019 us\u2026<\/p>\n

Much more effective that way.<\/p>\n

Thomas,<\/strong><\/p>\n

All libertarians are authoritarians; they are the master of their own castle. They just don\u2019t pretend to have any saying about other people\u2019s property, including their minds, bodies and lives. But if those other people pretend exactly that, they will need to be dealt with. If you think you can live peacefully among people with the explicit outspoken intent to kill you, you must be a liberal. And as Vin says: should we pretend there is no state, no islam, no liberals and ignore all the attacks they perform on liberty just because they do not fit the philosophy of individual freedom? When you live in a collectivist world, as alas we do, we cannot avoid all collectivist responses, no matter how we\u2019d love to.<\/p>\n

Please bear in mind that it was an American muslim who said, some years ago: \u201cIf you want to be safe from islam, you will have to deport ALL muslims, including myself, as you\u2019ll never know whom you can trust. As I love the country. I\u2019d hate that to happen, but if you want to be safe, you\u2019ll need to do it\u201d. So how\u2019s that for a collectivist statement? Collectivists only understand (and love) collectivism, while anarchists (the property rights respecting kind) love their freedom and peaceful coexistence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
