Big Changes

You may have noticed that things are a bit different here. I'm glad with this change, and I hope you are too. But the aesthetic isn't the only thing that's gonna change. I've been told (again!) that my stuff reads like a mf!n textbook, and that I'm going to have to address conflicts that normal people actually give two shits about. So a topic I'll write about very soon will be the radical libertarian take on food justice. I'll be talking about the government's hand in making good food unavailable to lower-income people, among other things, and about what policies can be introduced to remedy that.

While we're on the topic of change, it was interesting to see all the hooplah about the new legislation. I got invited to a Facebook group that I'm not going to join, not because I actually support health "reform", but because I'm just tired of looking like a stereotypical conservative and fraternizing with stereotypical conservatives. The ones who are all hitting the Facebook status updates (rather than the streets, get it?) are really just talk-show conservatives to the 10th degree. Of all the policies of a bloated government threatening the safety and freedom of its own citizens, they had to wait for healthcare "reform" to roll around before getting this pissed off. Their choice of what to get angry about makes them look like a bunch of greedy white leeches who value their own stuff more than the lives of others.

On the other side of the coin, my comrades on the left are all cheering because now "change" has come. Of course, by "change" nobody means bringing the troops home and rolling back the security state. God forbid we get some change that actually looks different. And what does this make liberalism as a movement look like to me? Like a bunch of greedy multi-colored leeches who value the provision of services more than the lives of others.
