On missing the point
Here’s an idle question, recently posed on LewRockwell.com: Is Secession Anti-American
?
Here’s an idle question, recently posed by me: the fuck do you care?
If your plan is to secede from the United States of America, then, seriously, why are you saying anti-American
like it’s a bad thing?
The first question is an idle question because there is no point debating whether you are being loyal or disloyal to a political entity that you are supposedly trying to get out from under and get the fuck away from.
The second question is an idle question because I’m pretty sure I already know the answer. However, in spite of being idle, the question is worth asking, because if the answer is made explicit, that may be enough to show how stupid it really is.
