Let's get into spoon or a little, what are some of the era
big takeaways from Spooner's work.
So recently I was on a podcast with Carrie welder.
She's a pretty good, Antiochus, libertarian YouTuber.
I had her on my show and she introduced me to some works of
Spooner and I had I had studied a little bit with with fee.
I think for one hour to climb. I have cited like a quote from
Spooner, but it really opened my eyes to the fallacy of
constitutionalism because I've always said that was like more
conservative or Batarian with like the last three or four
years. I've always been like.
Oh, yeah. I'm a constitutionalist.
You know, I, you know, I like the Constitution, the
Constitution protects our rights and then ring splitter made me
realize that it doesn't like at all like not even a little bit.
It should you know, I still think it's a good document.
I'm not I'm not like I'm not trashing the Constitution, but
I'm trashing the power that people think it has because it
really doesn't have much. I mean, since this country since
his country's Inception. The government has walked all
over the Constitution. So reading the spinner.
I don't know if I'm ever gonna become like an
anarcho-capitalist or an anarchist or something, but it
definitely put me into that direction.
Because I think one of his main philosophies was just that The
Constitution basically either cants protect our rights or it
created US government that can't.
And I'm just I'm a little bit disenchanted with it lately.
But that's again, that's not to say that.
I hate it. I wish it was more powerful but
it's just not it's difficult when you have people trying to
abide by a document and if they do a really bad job, you can't
opt out of funding them. I mean imagine if like
restaurants got your money, whether they brought the food to
the table. Well, or they didn't.
Well that's going to attract the most evil people to work at the
restaurant over time and you're never going to get the food and
they're always going to want more money.
So it does visited, or says you're going to get your Foods.
You're like, oh my God, the sign on the door says, I'm gonna get
my foot. Oh my God, and you can scream
without that all you want, but at the side of the door isn't
holding these people accountable and it's kind of a useless sign.
So I like the rule on the side of the door.
I really enjoy all the Amendments.
I enjoy the first amendment. I enjoyed the second.
I met, it's Eight, it was written by a genius.
As I'm so grateful that they wrote that because we have a
basis for our large part of our ideology, as people who live in
more conservative or libertarian, or even an artist,
but what does it actually? Do?
Not much. And I know like that the Supreme
Court, you know, things are decided based on the
Constitution but not as like not nearly as as many things, not as
many things in there, should be. I mean, I feel like you're so
many unconstitutional laws these days and nobody really talks
about Until it comes to like Roe v-- Wade or or whatever.
They think it comes to the hot-button issues.
But so many little things that are just kind of fly Under The
Radar, really pissed me off.
