However the hell you want/can. For once I’d like someone to explain to me any sort of gain to be had from this non-stop, unwavering barrage of negativity from these elitist anarchists. I don’t get the purpose behind this attitude of “you guys are idiots if you think anything will ever change, Ron Paul has no shot against the establishment, no one will ever consider us anything but crazy kooks, you’re wasting your time even talking to statist idiots, blah blah blah”. I mean I understand the appeal of the “I’m so much better than everyone else” thing, but do you really have nothing better to do with your time than sit around and complain?
If you don’t think promoting liberty is useful, then don’t. But don’t come around here and try to shit on everyone else. You’re just like all the whiners who bitch about the Institute mentioning pop culture items…you like your anti-mainstream status and relish in having your little non-conformist corner and being able to tell everyone that everything they think they know is wrong.
I think that just like everyone else who rags on anything that’s popular or that other people seem to like or get excited about, you want to seem above the fray, and better than everyone else. It’s a holier than thou thing to be able to say “I can’t believe you read/watch/believe that crap.” So when you see things you agree with actually gaining traction and popularity you have to go into attack mode (which is really defense mode). You have to attack the fact that people are enthusiastic about something as a way to defend yourself against the possibility of actually being part of something recognized and appreciated by more than a small handful of people.
It’s almost like you work against the movement, not wanting things to catch on and become widely accepted because you want to stay “fringe” and “kooky” because it’s what makes you different. It’s what supposedly makes you smarter, more interesting and better than everyone else.
If you don’t want to help make the ideas (or prominent people who spread them) more popular, fine. But don’t get in the way of those of us who actually want more people to join our way of thinking.
