A heroin addict might not like the side effects and other consequences of being addicted to heroin, but giving up the drug is unthinkable, so they try to find ways around the consequences which don't involve giving up heroin.
Statists don't like some of the side effects and consequences of statism, but giving up the State is unthinkable so they try to find ways around the consequences which don't involve giving up their drug.
Thus you have borderists screaming that you can't get rid of government borders or you'll have people flocking to America to get free stuff from "welfare" or committing crime. They can't even see that they're in a box, much less think outside it.
This utter lack of awareness illustrates my point about statism being an addiction.
No part of statism is a given. Any of it can be eliminated; all of it can be eliminated. That one part of it excuses another part doesn't mean you have to keep either part. Ditch them both. It's the sensible thing to do.

Just spent some time with California liberals. I realized that they're not even trying to be rational. They fully know their positions are completely untenable, and despite having no response to obvious logical fallacies, they continue the next day with the same line of thinking.
Finally figured out why--because they get entitlement checks. They are either on food stamps, have paid into a pension, or have no saving when near retirement age. It has nothing to do with anything other than their monthly government check. I now firmly believe that democrats are single issue voters, and the only relevant vote is for moar free shit.
Ever met a democrat who doesn't get a government check?
Do you also post on Minds?
I used to. I've ditched most social media recently.
OK. We've been setting up shop on Minds. We're making a reward system, and expanding our revenue generation efforts their too.
We'll be promoting libertarian / voluntarist content on Minds and Steemit with upvotes, reshares and donations (while also looking for guest writers). If you're back on Minds then that would be great, if you want to generate money from your Minds Tokens, you can sell your MINDS using a DEX.

Maybe consider it, we'll still be in touch!
