If you're an abolitionist, it's a good article to read.

We have to have a peace movement again, I feel.

Paul Treanor was right.

[Propertarians] say [that] they favour political freedom. But even to simply enforce the outcome of the market, the apparatus of a state would be necessary — an army to prevent invasions, a police force to suppress internal revolt, a judicial system. Most [propertarians] go much further: they want a [propertarian] régime. Some of them have written complete and detailed constitutions. But like any state, a [propertarian] state will have to enforce its constitution — otherwise it will be no more than a suggested constitution.

Even if the state is founded on the planet Mars (as some [propertarians] suggest), someone else with different ideas will probably arrive sometime. The [propertarian] constitutions might work in a freshly established [propertarian] colony, inhabited only by committed [propertarians]. But sooner or later there will be an opposition, perhaps resolutely hostile to the founding principles. States, which fail to enforce their own political system against opposition to the state itself, ultimately collapse or disappear. If [propertarian] states want to survive in such circumstances, they will use political repression against their internal opponents.

In the case of [propertarianism] within existing states, the position is much clearer. There is no question of a fresh start with a fresh population. The [so‐called] Libertarian Party of the United States, for instance, seeks to impose [propertarianism] on the United States. It is an imposition, and can not be anything else. Unless they are prepared to accept the division of the country, they will have to deal with millions of anti‐[propertarians], who reject the régime entirely. They might call the riot police the Liberty Police, they might call the prisons Liberty Camps, but it's still not 'political freedom'.

Unlike many other detainees who shared celebratory photos of a breached wall or civilians on a military jeep, on the morning of October 7, Mr. Hawashleh simply wrote Sabah al-Kheir (“Good Morning” in Arabic) at 8:10 a.m. He later claimed that he was sleeping in the desert and didn’t even hear any news.

Despite the complete innocence of his text, he was detained on October 28 on suspicion of “publishing words praising or encouraging acts of terrorism and identifying with a terrorist organization!” In order to add “context,” the police related to another post from October 15, where Hawashleh shared an old holy Islamic text from the “Hadith.” As could be expected, the hadith, which is attributed to the prophet Muhammad said nothing about Israel or Hamas.

I know that this video is three years old, but I had to share this anyway because it astounds me that anybody would try this.

A paedophile police officer who recorded himself sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl on her mobile phone after grooming her online has been jailed for more than six years. PC Luke Horner, 24, who is also an ex-soldier, travelled over an hour from his home to Rushden, Northamptonshire to attack the 13-year-old girl he had met on social media.

He went on to sexually assault the victim while off-duty by engaging in penetrative sexual activity, which he recorded video footage of on her mobile on June 11. The girl’s horrified mother later found the film on her daughter’s phone and called police who arrested the Thames Valley Police (TVP) officer.
