Neema Vedadi: A Gun For Everyone (Except For Government) and See My Chains

Please enjoy my recent conversation with Neema Vedadi. Herein we discussed his recent music video A Gun For Everyone (Except For Government), Sandy Hook shooting, gun control hypocrisy, government is one size fits all, a gun is a tool, moral responsibility, law is redundant, destructive, or absurd, Fergusson cash cow, chain slavery and segregation were State sanctioned, technology liberating humanity, the value of reputation, natural consequences of immoral actions, See My Chains, crypto-currency redemption, free range slave, seen vs. unseen, normalcy bias, what’s so bad about the Nazis, modern US empire, FDR Fascism, King of Executive Orders, Habeas Corpus historical abandonment, Presidential tyranny, diffusion of responsibility and accountability, chain of obedience, American Sniper, PTSD, veteran suicides, charity treatment for veterans, the goal of government school, Islamic State, Anarchapulco, spontaneous order and much more!

 

What makes anyone think that government officials are even trying to protect us? A government is not analogous to a hired security guard. Governments do not come into existence as social service organizations or as private firms seeking to please consumers in a competitive market. Instead, they are born in conquest and nourished by plunder. They are, in short, well-armed gangs intent on organized crime.
