Sam has a right to a speedy trail. A right to remain silent and a right to video record in public. All these rights are being violated by a tyrannical government. Some say "He would be free if he would just state his name!" If he states his name, he no longer remains silent, does he? And do not think this cannot happen to you. It can happen to you and may happen to you. Sam is exercising his rights. Anybody who stands firm against tyranny is a hero and Sam is a true hero!
Calm the liberty shit, your preaching to the choir.
The point is, you can get warm fuzzies about it, and print T-shirts, and whatever, but I've yet to hear a single thing Sam has done to improve the freedoms of anyone.
Trying to do something is not the same as doing it.
I could sacrifice a goat to the gods and ask them to smite tyrannical politicians. I could make a voodoo doll of Gordon Brown and pull its eyes out. I could go on a shooting spree killing cops and bureaucrats.
I could do it all with a smile and a libertarian song in my heart, but it doesn't mean I'm actually achieving shit.
You civ-dissers need to calm the fuck down with the cheerleading and backslapping and think, for just a moment, about what any of this is actually going to achieve.
Still no one has mentioned anything Sam has actually
achieved, everyone just has a hard on for how great he is for "standing up" against the government.
When you have that little consideration for the results, and so much focus on the motives, you have to wonder whether you're engaging in realistic activism, or just living in a happy fantasy world.
