Agent's Take: How Rams can protect themselves when making a huge financial commitment to Puka Nacua

Just started listening to this one, and I'd absolutely recommend it. It's great.
It's really hard to explain how complicated beliefs can be, especially to folks in an urban bubble. The truth is, part of my anarchism came from listening to #rural folks. I didn't really live in a big city until I was like 18, but I came to those places already with a set of liberal biases.
Some of the things I experienced in those places pushed me towards being a Communist. But there are some strangely anarchistic tenancies, even in those who profess to be politically the opposite.
My stance on guns was largely shaped by understanding and extending the arguments of rural gun owners. They continued to evolve long after, but it took actually listening to break through my liberal biases and understand the ways in which gun control can actually intersect with other forms of oppression. There is a lot more nuance than I had grown up to believe.
And it goes both ways. Conservative gun owners have absolutely no intellectual against anarchist gun arguments. They're generally either gonna fall into racism that you can talk about, or start to radicalize left. There are plenty of similar pathways.
But also, not everyone in rural areas is conservative. There are plenty of rural anarchists and communists. They just get buried under stereotypes.
Anyway, this has been great to listen to and I'd recommend it.

The question is not whether they "consider themselves" above the law. A system is what it does; if the elites are able to exist beyond legal repercussions then it doesn't matter what they claim in public.
This will only change when the people at the top are thrown in jail, and the fear of being thrown in jail for decades makes them behave differently.
As the Eagles said, we haven't had that spirit here since 1969. @…

This must mean a fundamental change for taxes. No tax on income from labour any longer, as there will be so much less. Instead, tax primarily on capital assets will become inevitable.
