    Libertarianism sounds great in theory, but it's an utter failure in the real world.

    We need government because of the millions of things it does for us.

    Some of these things are:

    National defense

    Educational system (K-12)

    Post Office

    Social Security

    Medicare

    Medicaid

    National Parks

    Highways

    Environmental regulation

    and much, much more.

    I prefer organized government to violent survival of the fittest type of existence.

    In order to be free, truly, we'd have to fight to gain some freedoms back that have been taken one by one and still fight for freedoms taken more recently too. I don't know who really feels safe with the way the world is going and some fools believing defunding police will help!

    Free...off grid and all...that's what I'd like.

    Free. I’m planing my life and future right now to always be ahead of whatever I think is living a comfortable life. Not just financially but mentally, emotionally, and physically. It might sound weird but I want to plan my life in a way where if something bad were to happen, I want to be prepared. Not live in fear and stock up on food & toilet paper 😂 but ready to protect myself the best I can
