What do you think will most endanger your individual freedom in the next decade? What can you do about it?
A question that’s worth thinking about. Contemplating doing an essay on this in a competition, with the prize - a flight to Freedom Fest in the US.
My premise is pretty much; the threat of Collectivism and the growth of the State.
What can be done about it?
I use a fair bit of Boetie, Rothbard and Hoppe’s works on Stratergy for Liberty.
Too many things to list…
But here in the UK we have 28 days detention without trial, police can search us with no warrant, one CCTV camera per 14 people (much much worse in london), a crippling tax burden, a crippling national debt (official government measure is 50% of GDP, but the true measure is between 165% and 270%), huge regulation of interpersonal relations, especially employment. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera

Universal gun bans. A man deprived of his right to defend life, liberty and property is essentially like a turtle deprived of its shell.
Thanks, state, for trying to make me a victim.
War.
