In truth, in the case of individuals, their actual voting is not to be taken as proof of consent, even for the time being. On the contrary, it is to be considered that, without his consent having even been asked, a man finds himself environed by a government that he cannot resist; a government that forces him to pay money, render service, and forego the exercise of many of his natural rights, under peril of weighty punishments. He sees, too, that other men practice this tyranny over him by the use of the ballot. He sees further, that, if he will but use the ballot himself, he has some chance of relieving himself from this tyranny of others, by subjecting them to his own. In short, he finds himself, without his consent, so situated that, if he uses the ballot, he may become a master; if he does not use it, he must become a slave. And he has no other alternative than these two.
I don’t give my consent!! I like how Mises says that voting does not imply consent. There are many paths to follow!! Using Bitcoin instead of the fiat government toilet paper is another way to earn liberty and freedom.

Love the images. Both true!! People have to discern the differences between liberty and freedom to become truly their own person. The only problem is those who think they are righteous, and, therefore, can oppress everyone else into their mold. Free people can find their way around those psychopaths,

Love the images.
I choose those 2 images of Darth Vader to create an anti-thesis for the viewer. 99% of people view Darth Vader as the villain (when is not) and automatically will associate the images with something bad, without deeply reading the text and understanding it.
The text is like a short-circuit for those that pays attention and make them think, but then they go back to the Darth image and still don't understand the meaning of the meme.
This creates a deep and powerful effect for the viewer pushing into thinking, why I would say such thing. But the words remain in the brain, maybe in doubt maybe sparking a light, maybe starting to see the light.
Who knows?

Earth Vader was not always the villain. He became the villain only under the tender ministrations of the Sith Lord. At worst you can say that he was confused until giving up his will to the Sith for a “good cause”.
It must take some time to create the memes. Are you using GIMP or Photoshop or some other graphics program?

Unfortunately not many people know those differences.

The only way to find out is the hard way. I cannot think of any easy way to learn this distinction.
