Although he is not writing from an Austrian perspective, and covering a lot of ground from the 18th century up to the present, he does a pretty good job of cataloguing the present paramilitarization of policing and describing the various strands of libertarian and collectivist groups which the MSM lump together as “militia”.

Arizona Cops Shoot Former Marine In Botched Pot Raid:

The police opened fire, releasing more than 70 rounds in about 7 seconds, at least 60 of which struck Guerena. He was pronounced dead a little over an hour later.[...] Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik told Arizona Daily Star columnist Josh Brodesky that he may never release the search warrants and police affidavits.[...]

“Those are the real sensitive parts of why we are having difficulty with trying to put information out publicly–because we don’t want somebody getting killed,” Dupnik said.

my arrogant advice: take direct solutions to your perceived problems. Be a role model; evade taxes, make friends with like minded people, barbeque etc.

For some people culture is seemingly crumbling away, for others it is stronger than ever; at the end of the day, the individual acts to forge his personal associations and culture- not “society”.

Historically, when nationalism increases (especially in an empire) community and familial loyalties are weakened so I really have trouble wrapping my head around your stance.

Unfortunately, that works only this way. Peaceful Afghans, Pakistanis, or Iraqis can hardly claim that no one is trying to kill them.

Don’t mistake prolonged asymetric warfare for safety of the population!

Tell that to the Vietnamese, or to Afghans.

Mexico has killed 40,000 people in a drug war over the span of 3 years and that is intensifying. Drug cartels are threatening to kill foreigners should the USA ever send troops to aid the anti drug war.

Going to Mexico is dangerous for your life. You better stay in the USA, it’s still freer and safer than Mexico anyways and the war on drugs and the butchery is intensifying.

I am pointing out the necessity to defend against such technological threats which requires more than a mere militia.

We need to meet technology with technology. Who’s going to provide antiballistic missile defense ? A private company ? If so, who’s going to pay for those services ? You ? Me ?

Did you know that in the 1920′s, Warren G. Harding brilliantly avoided a recession ?

I’m am nostalgic of a time when people were proud to belong to their country. The boyscout stuff, the yogi bear stuff etc. A time where parents and role models were more present for their kids.

Anyways, we can’t go back.

It’s funny, this is what we used to think about driving in Mexico; worried about the cops extorting Americans. I wonder if these cops have to show their stinkin’ badges.

Pretty soon we’re going to have to find some Mexicans who can smuggle Americans across the board into freedom in Mexico. Those fences on the boarder will turn out to be used to keep us here, like the Berlin Wall.
