I'm more focused on the basic idea of not consenting to being part of a society (or any society). |
Then I would have no problem with them doing that. But, really, how are they going to be able to afford all that and set up an education system and health care system?
That would be a huge failure IMO even if it was allowed. I guarantee you 99% of the freemen people would be filing for welfare after the first month and kissing the hands and feet of society and the government.
I understand where they are coming from, but it's insane for them to think they can opt out of society or even if it was allowed that they could survive without society.
They have no problem using the cars, gas, natural gas, and all the other goods society creates, but they don't want to pay registration fees, insurance and taxes, and be subject to laws unless it benefits them?
Untill I see them out in Kananaskis country in a teepee riding a donkey and hunting for their food with a slingshot I can't take them seriously.
