Hello all! I've been lurking here for a while, and decided to register in case I want to throw in my 2 cents, or throw out a question. I am currently on my 10th year of my sentence in the government re-education camps, serving my time in upstate NY. My journey of philosophical discovery began with the run for the 2008 election for Commander-in-Thief. Although it wasn't too long ago, I've done more thinking of the subject in this short time than the rest of my life. I began much more statist than I care to admit, with the Republicans being my owners of choice. Quickly, I began becoming less Republican and more conservative (if that makes sense to you). Freedom and small government, but only for economics and only if you are from America. As I realized the inconsistencies in this ideology, I began leaning toward Libertarianism. Around this time, I was browsing YouTube and came across some of Dave Ridley's videos, which introduced me the Free State Project, Free Keene, and more libertarian ideas. I'm not too picky about labels, but I'd currently call myself an anarcho-capitalist (I like voluntaryist, too. Any of those things.).
The issues nearest to my heart currently include gun rights, drug prohibition (particularly cannabis), and government "schools". I can't get to NH soon enough. I'm definitely going to try to go to college there, for engineering. Any tips about this would be nice, too!
See you on the forums, then!
Hello - by "re-education camp" do you mean prison? You have internet access there?
I'm guessing he means he is a teenager in public school.
Nice! Welcome.

Indeed. My eloquence and lucidity can on occasion be mutually exclusive.
Can your mutuality and your exclusivity be lucidly eloquent?

It was the "re-" that threw us off.
Welcome! Looks like you'll fit right in. And I'm impressed at how little you've allowed the school system to damage your intellect.
Welcome!
