How To Undermine The Government And Enjoy A Fulfilling Life At The Same Time

there is something about being a 'useful tool' for the people who put voices in our minds. when you're a tool, they make you do something you're already good at, something you already enjoy - but they urge you to do it towards their purposes. for me, that something is WRITING.

i enjoy writing and i have been writing journals, nonfiction essays, and, long ago, some fantasy stories, ever since i was a young teenager. i used to spend all day long writing journals. it is something that can be done endlessly without using much physical energy.

however, there is something to be cautious about. on the internet, when they urge us 'useful tools' to go writing things and posting them to the world's view, our writings might contain disinformation, unintended 'double meanings' that are significant when read by specific people, or things that seem like 'commands' when in fact they are not. i'm concerned about that.

so i'll tell you now, there are certain 'commands' or 'double meanings' that i would never, ever, ever advocate. i never advocate going out and killing people or destroying anything. that includes the government, politicians, bureaucrats, and other people i can't stand. i'll say over and over how much i hate the government, but i NEVER advocate attacking them. they're people.

i'm not even sure how exactly i would want to accomplish a long-term agorist goal, the eventual undermining of the government, without hurting government employees. i don't think that blowing up buildings is a useful way to make effective changes in government.

i saw a joke about activist groups and the government spies that attend them:

how do you recognize the fed plant in your group?
he's the one telling you to blow stuff up!

so i'll make my position clear: i'm NOT telling anybody to go destroy anything or anybody. just the opposite! i will talk about creation. there will be an essay about the late author julian simon and my visions of intentional communities. i will talk about the importance of bearing children, and the many decades of brainwashing that told us we are overpopulated, childbearing is a 'necessary evil' and should be done in the most minimal way - only one or two kids - and that the best thing we can do for the planet and for society is reduce the human population.

but the controversial, agorist theme of childbearing is this: don't register your children with the government. don't give them a number. don't tell anybody they exist. keep your own community's family records outside of government. don't make them pay taxes. don't teach them to work as slaves.

but those subjects will be discussed in the essays about communities.

it's something i've begun thinking about, here at age 33, knowing that eventually i will no longer be able to bear children. i could adopt them, and i always imagined myself doing that. but i'd want children of my own, too. there is something wonderful about making another slightly-different person, like yourself and your spouse, and you both can see yourselves in their eyes.

the only celebrity family that really interests me at all, when i see them on the magazine covers, is brad pitt and angelina jolie. i think they've adopted some children from other countries, non-caucasian kids (if i recall correctly). i like the idea of supporting nonwhite or foreign kids. and now they're having kids of their own. something about them caught my attention - normally i'm not interested in the lives of celebrities. but all of a sudden (probably because of the war) celebrity pregnancies have been all over the magazines in the past year or two. (that irritates me: i like it, on the one hand, but on the other hand, it says 'the only time we're allowed to have lots of kids is after a bunch of people have died in a foreign country.') and now it's angelina jolie with her twins.

anyway, that's about it. my message is that a good way to undermine government (and enjoy a fulfilling life at the same time!) is by making new people - not killing people - and raising them in an intentional community with a particular belief system. i'll get into more details later.
