Need Both

Of course Stirner was a radical individualist, too much so. Still, even he saw the value and usefulness in having and enjoying peers, friends, associations and governmental institutions.

I would second the motion, adding that they be limited in size and coercive prowess.

Effective Fighters

It occurred to me today that if the Elves of Tokien are immortal, purely good angels without free will, and the orcs are mortal, wholly evil creatures that cannot help but be what they are, then men, dwarves and hobbits are basically evil creatures with some residual capacity for good who wield some free will.

My mind was wandering in speculation as I dreamily wondered who would be the most effective fighter against evil, elves or men. The elves might be the most powerful and constant opponents of the Dark Lord, but it would be men that would be the most effective fighter against the orcs and their master.

Why you ask? It is because being born part evil allows humans to understanding the evil foes of God and De's followers. It takes a thief to catch a thief and an evil person to know how an evil foe thinks, and how to best take advantage of their flaws and weaknesses.

Stirner The Anarchist

Stirner, the indivdualist-anarchist revolutionary, believed that people were basically good, so too many laws, rules and legal constraints made people sick and troubled, not law-abiding and moral.

I too am an individualist-anarchist revolutionary, but I assert that people are basically bad. As obedient society insiders, they are naturally bad, group-oriented (which reinforces there badness) and live as social creatures (further reinforcing their natural badness).

We always need law and order, but the locus of legal and moral order and control is best situated in the rational soul of the individuating-anarchist supercitizen. We still require some small, limited government and some institutional presence, but people can learn to be good, and as they follow and serve God, they lead lives of moral freedom, balanced with internal order, and moderated appetites. In this way they become good and productive members of society.

Facebook, Google And Amazon

They have a monopoly on the Interent, including search engines. Breitbart today (6/2/19) has an article in which Kevin McCarthy wants this monopoly broken up.

It is food for thought--we want all points of view to be heard and accessible, not silenced and suppressed.

30%

Trump should start the tariff on all goods coming in from Mexico at 30% to force their government to shut down illegal immigration right away.

Virginia Beach

Amy Klobuchar is just another dishonorable, power-hungry, cynical Progressive trying to become President, grow the state and reduce our liberty, especially our 2A rights. For her to politicize this tragedy at Virginia Beach for personal gain is shameful and brazen. I am willing to bet that Progressives like her, in Virginia, turned that municipal workplace into a gun-free zone, a perfect target for an armed psycho to inflict maximum damage. Leftists like her created this mess, and then double down after a tragedy, and demand common sense gun reform, in name of protecting the children, to promote safety. Such draconian gun-grabbing is unconstitutional and ineffective. It takes a good municipal manager with a gun to stop the deadly rampage by a disgruntled employee, before it starts. More guns in more places is the only way to protect the public, employees, shoppers and churchgoers.

Stirner And Abstractions

Stirner warns us not to live our lives for some abstraction, some incorporeal concept, a phantasm, a spook. Only the individual is unique, real and concrete. He should only live for his own cause, not some external ism that does not even exist. For example, fighting and being willing to die for one's country, an abstraction that has no existence.

Stirner has a point: I am more optimistic about capturing meaning and the worthiness of sacrificing oneself for exterior causes, than Stirner is, but his powerful repudiation, of being a true believer that will make the idealism of one's rabid ideology or cause concrete by using murder, torture, coercion, violence and force to compel people to adopt and live in accordance with the dictates of that ism, is an intellectual and moral corrective that we must heed and follow.
