You mention "the constitution"... Here is my constitution

101 sats \ 1 reply \ @DarthCoin 16h
The purpose of the US Con-stitution was to dupe the people into imagining legitimacy to a new ruling class. The con-stitution is not "ours". It never was. It was a lie from day one, designed to give the illusion of "representation" and "consent".
The lie worked so well that it was heavily copied in the contitutions of the worst tyrannies in history (china, USSR, N.Korea etc).
It took me also a long time to accept what it is that document: It is the arch enemy of freedom, not its protector.

It was supposed to cure the defects in the Articles of Confederation. The ELites did their usual job on the people (individuals) and screwed us over. BTW, not all of them were in on it! They couldn’t get Samuel Adam’s and Patrick Henry to go along with it.

Fun fact: Arms and firearms are two different things in law.
Men can have arms.
Slaves need a license to have a firearm.

Only in states that require registration. In civilized states, that don't require registration, those guns are no more "black market" than your unregistered tomatoes.
Technically, many "black market" guns are "grey market" guns. Agorists make a distinction between items prohibited by the state (black market) and items the state issues licenses for. Doing otherwise legal things without complying with licensing requirements is considered "grey market" activity.

unregistered firearms are "black market", deserve punishment for dishonor.
arms are just on the market, not the "white" one, the real market

Usually, black market is the market in goods that would otherwise be bearing a heavy tax. An example would have been salt in India and tobacco around the world. (BTW, nicotine kills all [as in every] virus known to exist. Maybe this is why they tax and discourage the use of nicotine products like tobacco, tomatoes and eggplants.)

That's actually pretty common. The earliest iron working that we know of used meteorites, because they're pure enough to work without needing advanced metallurgy.

The most important? probably this: Article 6 UDHR: Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.
So, everyone have the right to be recognised as a corporation, dead entity, a slave, property of the Vatican.
And not even in the law, but before/outside of it.

Proclaims this Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.
What? Why? It looks like a charter granting rights, which they don’t have the power to grant because we already have them. ITS A TRAP!

But I'm a large society you need legal protection to ensure property rights. From there it follows that you need arms to enforce the laws protecting your property.

From a broad causal perspective, the right to keep and bear arms underpins our very ability to engage in discourse on fundamental human rights. It stands as the primary safeguard, arguably making it the most crucial right to uphold by any means—within or beyond the bounds of legality.

Eh sometimes. Europe and Australia seem to do fine, citizens maintain their rights to speech and protest.
Also even if people in China and Russia (and the US for that matter) have arms, the government has tremendously more. If it comes down to trying to protect your rights against a corrupt government, the government is going to win 100 percent of the time.

Without the right to protect yourself - absolutely - from tyrants, no other rights exist. Your life, liberty, and happiness must be protected by you. Without the ability to unalive someone that is trying to take that from you, nothing else matters.

For me, it's freedom of movement. I think bitcoin does a wonderful job at keeping governments in check. Now that capital flight control is severely weakened by bitcoin, I don't really care that A. governments exist or B. what type of governments there are. If I continue to earn (in any currency) and only save in bitcoin, I'll be prepared to simply leave if my circumstances diminish because of a nefarious government. This is a great feeling! Bitcoin makes the world much smaller, for everyone.

freedom of movement
Do you use a pass-port? Is not pass-port a LICENSE TO TRAVEL? A license means permission, privilege, not a right. The real right of freedom of movement is when you do not use ANY of the system instruments: govID, pass-port, SSI etc

I don't see anything wrong with subjecting yourself to which ever government you're living at any given time but I do see something terribly wrong with governments removing the ability to remove yourself from them. That's why I bitcoin. I can play their game, and will, to keep myself and my family fed and nourished, but if I get to a point of feeling personally oppressed, I will leave it all behind and take my capital with me. Because I can. I used to be a bit of an anarchist but through the study and use of bitcoin I have actually become a little more in favor of every type of government. They should exist for the people who want to use them and live that way. But there should always be choice, and bitcoin provides that to us all.

This is fine, but it begs the question of where you would go. Especially with this rampant globalism going on. I realize that there are special privileges in foreign countries as a foreigner. Are those privileges (not rights) great enough?

Well, I'm fully aware that I would have to lower my standard of living a LOT right now, but I would go to one of the many small bitcoin circular economies and I would plug myself in. I am speculating that the size and amount of these economies will continue to grow. The Bitcoin Network benefits from every user and so does the bitcoin social network so I think we will see an increase of places that will welcome you with open arms if you're willing to spend/earn sats. I have no qualms with living under a palm tree.

I once crossed and international frontier without “proper authorization” and got caught by that county’s border patrol. There is no freedom of movement when they are pointing their rifles at you and demanding identification. I spent too much time locked up with about 45 people in a 3Mx3M cell. Next, I was moved to a 2m x 2m cell with 7 people in a secret police setting. I was just lucky they did not put me in the place where they feed you only water and very hot peppers. I can attest to there being no, absolutely no, freedom of movement under the current international regime. I understand in the past, before WWI, you could travel anywhere, with out ID.

During Covid, some people had to travel, but they didn't let them cross the border with their passports. A friend made them a paper, one sheet A4 with words on it ( I saw it, had it in my hands, heard testimonies and the friend recorded their phone talk to have evidence) Just showed the paper on the border, they let them pass, no questions asked, three borders in a row. And it's not even the only way to do it. Believe it or not
