#^Dems Are The Real Threat To Democracy. Ask The Green Party

An outside, unbiased observer might call disenfranchising thousands of Green Party supporters voter suppression, but Democrats don't care.

The Green Party will appear on the ballot in North Carolina’s upcoming Senate contest this November, a federal judge has ruled — despite a coordinated Democratic effort to prevent it.

After the Green Party submitted thousands of signatures for its candidate to appear on the ballot in North Carolina, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) — represented by Russia Hoax lawyer Marc Elias’s law firm — began contacting the people who signed the petition for ballot access and asked them to remove their signatures.

Even the Green Party’s candidate himself, Matthew Hoh, received text messages from the DSCC asking him to remove his signature from the petition and saying “the Green Party takes votes away from Democrats, which helps Republicans win.”

Ah, the ever-present, circular "if you don't vote for us you are voting for them" argument..

"Taking votes away" from them implies that the votes belong to them, not to us. Typical government mentality.

#^The Statrix: How Government Warps our Perception of the World

Trevor Burrus shares his theory of how government reorganizes the world around its own policies and programs.

What is the “Statrix”? How does government warp our perception of the world around us? How does it disproportionately affect the poor?

Trevor Burrus talks about the “Statrix,” a portmanteau of the state and the concept of an artificial world made popular in the 1999 action/sci-fi movie The Matrix.

#^What is the Statrix?

What are the biggest barriers to a freer, more dynamic, and more prosperous society?

The obvious answer, in many cases, is “government,” particularly in those countries where the government spends more time stealing from the people than providing goods and services. But there is another, more insidious barrier to a freer society: the lack of imagination. When people can’t imagine how something could work without the government, they can’t and won’t demand it.
