      "body": "\"Cult? What? The government is not a cult! \"I'm not in a cult!\" - Every statist ever. \n\nI always hear that in Red Foreman's voice:\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjCdznA4sgY\n\nNo, I won't be thanking the U.S. Government for anything they do, Red. It can kindly fuck right the fuck off, and you with them since you love them so much. Oh look at me allowing my disgust for statism getting me talking to a fictional character....lulz. Have a laugh. Maybe there's some kind of 'my foot in your ass' joke here....and its just eluding me. \n\nThe truth is....yeah, the state (or government if you prefer) is a cult, and you're engaging in it and supporting it with almost everything you do. This is long known among anarchists, and many other free thinkers now, and throughout history. But, this message is a lot harder to convey than people might initially believe. I know this is one of the points I find the hardest to drive home on statists. There is an endless amount of proof showing the merit, and the logic of this claim,  but most people cannot even so much as tolerate the idea of having to reflect on such a thing - until they have to. Many people have an incredibly hard time being objective in general, so this comes as no surprise that they cannot see the state for what it is: a religion, a cult. \n\nhttp://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cult\n\nnoun, often attributive \\ˈkəlt\\\n\nSimple Definition of cult\n: a small religious group that is not part of a larger and more accepted religion and that has beliefs regarded by many people as extreme or dangerous\n: a situation in which people admire and care about something or someone very much or too much\n: a small group of very devoted supporters or fans\n\nFull Definition of cult\n1:  formal religious veneration :  worship\n2:  a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also :  its body of adherents\n3:  a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also :  its body of adherents\n4:  a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator 'health cults'\n5 a :  great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially :  such devotion          regarded as a literary or intellectual fad\n    b :  the object of such devotion\n    c :  a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion\n\nNow after reading the definition of cult, we should look at the ISCA's website (International Cultic Studies Association) and look and how it recognized and characterizes a cult.  - If you trust them as any kind of authority on the matter I think it's worth looking at. \n\nhttp://www.csj.org/infoserv_cult101/checklis.htm\n\n\"The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader and (whether he is alive or dead) regards his belief system, ideology, and practices as the Truth, as law.\"\n\nFanatics of the state are just that: fanatical. They are largely unquestioning and very trusting of state power, and those with whom it resides in: politicians, bureaucrats, judges, etc. - - other people. Statists see this system as the best thing going. Some might simply describe it as the 'least worst' system. At any rate, they make excuses for it, and view the states monopoly on various services such as, law, money, courts, police, military, etc., as the only and/or best way to organize society - and solve social and economic problems. They view this as some self-evident truth, and go to great lengths, and commit great injustices the world over to defend it as such: the state is 'the law'. In fact, the state is GOD. Obey, or else.\n\n‪\"Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.\"\n\nThis is a self-evident fact. Anarchists and many other political dissidents have been arrested, imprisoned, and even put to death for opposing the state. No one need look very far to see how true this point is. Look at people who opposed the draft and how they have been treated. Look at tax (theft) protesters. Look at people who do not quickly enough, or immediately comply with the arbitrary commands of the police - - as if we don't have enough examples of that in the news! This point makes itself, and I don't think it needs a whole lot of investigation, unless your goal is to see how disappointed you can become in humanity. \n\n‪\"Mind-altering practices (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, and debilitating work routines) are used in excess and serve to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).\n‪The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel (for example, members must get permission to date, change jobs, marry, or leaders prescribe what types of clothes to wear, where to live, whether or not to have children, how to discipline children, and so forth).\"\n\nSongs about flags, patriotism, freedoms, war, and blood. Don't believe me? Read the lyrics to it yourself!\nhttp://www.usa-flag-site.org/song-lyrics/star-spangled-banner/\n\nThere is also the 'Pledge of Allegiance' that is crammed down young people throats! Ever hear of the \"Bellamy Salute'?\nhttp://www.usa-flag-site.org/song-lyrics/star-spangled-banner/\n\nAnd as far as the 'leaders dictating', there is a law regarding the 'pledge' and how people 'should' conduct themselves during this ritual. \nhttps://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/4\nhttp://undergod.procon.org/view.additional-resource.php?resourceID=000074\n\nAs for debilitating work routines, just look at taxation - its literally a form of slavery. The working individuals of this 'country' work for around half of the year just cover the 'tax' bill for the year. People even believe they need permission from the state to get married, and most people are afraid to discipline their children in any manner the state might deem 'abusive'. As far as changing jobs, and having kids....propaganda is largely used to influence people in these areas, not direct laws. \n\n\"The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s) and members (for example, the leader is considered the Messiah, a special being, an avatar or the group and/or the leader is on a special mission to save humanity).\"\n\nNearly all political bodies nationwide be them, municipal, county, state, federal, etc., decide what their own rate of pay (provided for by tax victims of course) will be, all the while using the 'law' to set a price floor on labor nationwide: the minimum wage law.  See FLSA (Fair Labor and Standards Act). They are also largely immune to prosecution, and rarely does anyone ever see members of the political structure ever go to prison for doing things that would land anyone else in prison for life. I don't need to cover the case of Snowden for this point to make its way across. To be fair here, politicians are rarely looked at as saviors or 'Messiahs', but even I gave second thought to this watching Obama supporters at the victory speech in 2008. The flag waving, cheering, crying, and emotional lack of control of some of the people in the crowd was actually quite disturbing - - kinda like having a black man for a president is going to be any different than having any other human being? Muhfreephones and muhObamacare though!\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnvUUauFJ98 \n\n\"The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society.\n‪The leader is not accountable to any authorities (unlike, for example, teachers, military commanders or ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream religious denominations).\"\n\nThis is just laughable to see people deny: the us vs. them mentality that exist. Especially when you introduce anarchists into the equation - - every stripe of statist seems to unite in order to protect their all precious state. \nThis is all that 'American' politics is based on, basically. I say this because politics is about redistribution - - people are just fighting over their personally preferred way of how the state should steal from everyone in order to quell their own fears, and feel warm and fuzzy about how economic and social problems are supposedly being solved. \n\nIt's very entertaining to see people reject these facts all the while attending the voting booth. \n\nhttps://i.imgsafe.org/489ed76377.jpg\n\n‪\"The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify whatever means it deems necessary. This may result in members' participating in behaviors or activities they would have considered reprehensible or unethical before joining the group (for example, lying to family or friends, or collecting money for bogus charities).\"\n‪\nDo wars come to mind? How's about drone bombing people? Use of nuclear/atomic weapons ring a bell? It's worth the costs, right? How many statist jump through a myriad of intellectual and moral hoops to justify these things? Wasn't it wrong when Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot did it?\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM0uvgHKZe8\nhttps://i.imgsafe.org/490223a893.jpg\n\n\"The leadership induces feelings of shame and/or guilt in order to influence and/or control members. Often, this is done through peer pressure and subtle forms of persuasion.\"\n\nJust going around wearing a t-shirt that says 'Taxation is Theft'. Or a shirt that says \"there is no such thing as the social contract.\" Or a shirt with any one of the of anarchist, libertarian, Rothbardian, Spoonerism zingers and see how people react. Imagine what a shirt with this would do at some random patriotic parade charade: \nhttps://i.imgsafe.org/48fc68f3f1.jpg\n\nNow of course this is just looking for trouble if you wear a shirt with a picture of a coffin draped with a flage on it that says \"is this all you can be'....but, there is a degree of truth to this that statists cannot and will not accept. At least not until their OWN children are drafted off, or are dying in wars in some far away place because the U.S. pharmaceutical racket must maintain a monopoly on opiates. \nhttps://i.imgsafe.org/4aec2b7896.jpg\n\nBetter yet, don't just wear the shirts, actually say these things to people and see how you are treated afterwards. \n\n\"‪Subservience to the leader or group requires members to cut ties with family and friends, and radically alter the personal goals and activities they had before joining the group.\"\n\nJust try to renounce your citizenship here in the U.S. (if you can afford it)and expatriate to some other place thousands of miles away. Better yet, try staying anywhere after renunciation - if they even allow it. Imagine how you might be treated by people here in the U.S. if you make your renunciation known. Also take note that anyone who wished to renounce their U.S. 'citizenship' needs permission from the state, and must their process in order for the renunciation to be 'officially' recognized. Lastly, doing this doesn't exempt you from taxes if you stay - so don't get that idea in your head. \n\nhttps://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal-considerations/us-citizenship-laws-policies/renunciation-of-citizenship.html\n\nThis also doesn't account for the permission slip known as a 'Visa' if you want to travel outside the U.S. Just try doing that without one....\n‪\n\"The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.\"\n\nThe state has almost absolute control over all education - schools, and attendance is mandatory in every state. \nhttp://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0112617.html\n\nWhat about the number of government employees nationwide?\nhttp://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/21955000-12329000-government-employees-outnumber-manufacturing\n‪\n\"The group is preoccupied with making money.\"\n\nLOLOLOL!!!! This one is flat out hilarious. The state is all about redistribution of wealth. As if the states absolute monopoly over the monetary system is not 100% clear to everyone! I mean how much evidence does one need on this? Try to print your own money, coin your own coins, collect taxes, etc., and compete with the government in the monetary game. LOL! Yeah, just try. Try exempting yourself from taxes. \n\n\"Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group and group-related activities.\"\n\nVoting, taxes....any of that ring a bell? How's about this:\nhttp://taxfoundation.org/sites/taxfoundation.org/files/docs/TaxFreedomDay_2016..pdf\n‪\n\"Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.\"\n\nIn the cult of statism, this is more encouraged than it is required. But how many politicians do you know that regularly hang out with anarchists? Lawyer, judges, cops....????\n‪\n\"The most loyal members (the true believers) feel there can be no life outside the context of the group. They believe there is no other way to be, and often fear reprisals to themselves or others if they leave (or even consider leaving) the group.\"\n\nYeah....we've all heard the 'if not for government' it would be Mad Max, and the 'if you don't like it here' move to Somalia types, right? These people literally fear condition themselves into rejecting the idea of a world without state control over nearly ever aspect of their lives, and everyone else's around them. The most loyal members of the state are rewarded. Gold star families, enforcers of the law, military conscripts and volunteers, 'public servants', etc., etc., are all rewarded financially and in many other ways via ceremonies, awards, medals, speeches....you name it. Society is propagandized and shamed into accepting these people as best that humanity and society have to offer, and that we all better thank them for our 'freedoms', because without them.........\n\nHonestly, there are a lot of ways to address each of these points, and I probably repeated myself a few times. Some of you could probably even better, or say that I could, but that's not really the point here. I think that when presented with the facts, it can surely be shown that the state is so near, if not identical to a cult that you literally have to almost brainwashed or brain-damaged (take your pic) to not see it. Or....you already know this, and maybe even accept it, but maybe you deny it for 'political' reasons? Personally, I think this point extends to a lot more people than anarchists realize. The perverse incentives of the state are blinding in a way - actually in many ways. They disconnect people so far from reality that morals, ethics - all sense of right and wrong all but evaporate as if such things never existed. I'm not smart enough to say exactly what the solution to this problem is, but I know that ignoring it won't solve anything. \n\nThe state system is a religious system of control - control over all things, basically. The state is totalitarian in nature. This is the point to begin with: to create GOD on earth....in some form or another. All I can tell you, is that once you see it for what it is, there is no going back. If you find yourself unable to accept the possibility of this to the point where you will literally fight against it, or experience physical and/or mental anguish from it, you really should ask yourself one thing: why?\n\nother related articles and stuff - make what you want of them\n\nhttps://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog/the-cult-of-the-state-and-the-sexualization-of-everything/\nhttp://kevincraig.us/cult.htm\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxgYJlEuG9c\nhttp://www.notbeinggoverned.com/the-achievement-of-liberty-and-the-cult-of-the-state/\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D58_u9h5IQ0\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6uVV2Dcqt0\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbp6umQT58A\n\n\n          ..........HEY YOU, YEAH YOU, ONE LAST THING:\nhttps://i.imgsafe.org/4afb6908dc.jpg",

      "body": "This is really like a great way to interact on the internet, share basically anything, and get paid for it. \n\nhttps://news.bitcoin.com/steemit-awards-1-3-m-users/\n ----\nOn July 5, the Steemit (steemit.com) social media platform distributed 10% of the Steem market cap to reward contributors and early adopters of the newly created community. So far there are lots of content submissions with a vast array of subject matter spanning topics such as gardening, politics, and finances.\n\nSteemit, a decentralized social media platform, is celebrating its third month of operation and to make it even more memorable, so the company decided to add this multimillion dollar payout as a milestone.\n\nThe CEO of Steemit Ned Scott said during the announcement the distribution has marked a “pivotal moment” for the social media platform. This comes after exponential growth from its user base growing 1,600% from May to June. During June and July, the Steemit community doubled again, says the company, as it continues its path of progressive expansion.\n\nContributions have come from all over the world including users from “mainstream media, cryptocurrency enthusiasts, social media buffs, and tech-savvy writers.” Scott explains:\n\nThis was an opportunity for us to thank our growing community, to reward them for building a sustainable ecosystem that’s much more than the sum of its parts. Yesterday, more than $1.3 million worth of the Steem supply was distributed into the wallets of thousands of users across the world. From every corner, users have been drawn to Steemit because the system actually rewards thoughtful comments, unlike Reddit or Twitter. The community and the blockchain together power a system that gets better and better every day.\nSo far half of the $1.3 million supply of Steem was distributed in Steem Dollars, which each is worth roughly one USD. The other half of the paid out supply came in the form of Steem Power, which is a cryptocurrency that enables voting power within the social media’s platform. Since the platform is open source and transparent, people can see that things are not being cheated or manipulated. It also keeps the community free from censorship, the team says, and has allowed third party applications to be built with its technology. This includes platforms such as steemle.com (user tracking charts) and steemd.com (category specific threads).\n\n“Because it’s based entirely on a blockchain, Steemit shows what social media can look like without censorship,” Scott continues. “Everything we see on Steemit.com comes from the open source Steem blockchain, so the entire network is replicable on any front-end application.” He adds:\n\nAttempts at censorship can be proven by anyone with a blockchain explorer or another front-end application built on the Steem, so users can feel free to post how they really feel. This freedom is what empowers the Steemit community, and it’s one of the major ways we’re different from centralized, controlling and manipulative social media networks.\nSteem Trading Volume Doubles\n\n82dac99Scott says that since the payout Steem trading volume doubled to $26 million and at the same time the website’s traffic doubled. The Steemit founder also claims that the company’s developers are steadily working on new features and easy to use applications throughout the Steemit ecosystem.\n\nFor instance, a Steemit embeddable button is being designed so it can be posted throughout other blogs and news outlets. Scott says his co-founder Dan Larimer has a broad range of experience building systems such as Steemit from the ground up. They hope that a year from now there will be a vast array of bloggers and content providers pushing the platform to the next level. Scott says the company will be far more robust by then stating:\n\nBy the time we get there, we’d like to be much further along in our development of side chain plugins too, which will allow Steem to support a decentralized app-store, similar in appearance to Facebook or Google’s, but based on decentralized, provably-fair technologies and new business models.\nGiving Back is the New Black\n\nSteemit isn’t the only social media platform paying out cryptocurrency for content as Bitcoin.com reported on the Latin American website Taringa! in December of 2015. Taringa! paid out US$76,000 in Bitcoin to its 15,000+ content providers using the platform. As well as the Latin American social media outlet there are others operating with similar methods such as Zapchain and the Japanese platform OKWave.\n\nSteemit hopes to continue its growth and seems to be progressing at a fast rate with registrants coming every day, and large sums of payout distribution. Currently, the Steem trading market is number 15 out of 705 different cryptocurrencies according to Coinmarketcap.com. Ned Scott and Dan Larimer hope that someday “there will be many bloggers using the platform to monetize their content without using advertisements.”\n\n\"By the time we get there, we’d like to be much further along in our development of side chain plugins too, which will allow Steem to support a decentralized app-store, similar in appearance to Facebook or Google’s, but based on decentralized, provably-fair technologies and new business models.\"\n\nI think this is going to be awesome. Can't wait for further development. \n\nMore info\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H399YZ0pv0o&ab_channel=BitSpace",

During June and July, the Steemit community doubled again, says the company, as it continues its path of progressive expansion.%0A%0AContributions have come from all over the world including users from %E2%80%9Cmainstream media, cryptocurrency enthusiasts, social media buffs, and tech-savvy writers.%E2%80%9D Scott explains:%0A%0AThis was an opportunity for us to thank our growing community, to reward them for building a sustainable ecosystem that%E2%80%99s much more than the sum of its parts. Yesterday, more than $1.3 million worth of the Steem supply was distributed into the wallets of thousands of users across the world. From every corner, users have been drawn to Steemit because the system actually rewards thoughtful comments, unlike Reddit or Twitter. The community and the blockchain together power a system that gets better and better every day.%0ASo far half of the $1.3 million supply of Steem was distributed in Steem Dollars, which each is worth roughly one USD. The other half of the paid out supply came in the form of Steem Power, which is a cryptocurrency that enables voting power within the social media%E2%80%99s platform. Since the platform is open source and transparent, people can see that things are not being cheated or manipulated. It also keeps the community free from censorship, the team says, and has allowed third party applications to be built with its technology. This includes platforms such as steemle.com (user tracking charts) and steemd.com (category specific threads).%0A%0A%E2%80%9CBecause it%E2%80%99s based entirely on a blockchain, Steemit shows what social media can look like without censorship,%E2%80%9D Scott continues. %E2%80%9CEverything we see on Steemit.com comes from the open source Steem blockchain, so the entire network is replicable on any front-end application.%E2%80%9D He adds:%0A%0AAttempts at censorship can be proven by anyone with a blockchain explorer or another front-end application built on the Steem, so users can feel free to post how they really feel. This freedom is what empowers the Steemit community, and it%E2%80%99s one of the major ways we%E2%80%99re different from centralized, controlling and manipulative social media networks.%0ASteem Trading Volume Doubles%0A%0A82dac99Scott says that since the payout Steem trading volume doubled to $26 million and at the same time the website%E2%80%99s traffic doubled. The Steemit founder also claims that the company%E2%80%99s developers are steadily working on new features and easy to use applications throughout the Steemit ecosystem.%0A%0AFor instance, a Steemit embeddable button is being designed so it can be posted throughout other blogs and news outlets. Scott says his co-founder Dan Larimer has a broad range of experience building systems such as Steemit from the ground up. They hope that a year from now there will be a vast array of bloggers and content providers pushing the platform to the next level. Scott says the company will be far more robust by then stating:%0A%0ABy the time we get there, we%E2%80%99d like to be much further along in our development of side chain plugins too, which will allow Steem to support a decentralized app-store, similar in appearance to Facebook or Google%E2%80%99s, but based on decentralized, provably-fair technologies and new business models.%0AGiving Back is the New Black%0A%0ASteemit isn%E2%80%99t the only social media platform paying out cryptocurrency for content as Bitcoin.com reported on the Latin American website Taringa! in December of 2015. Taringa! paid out US$76,000 in Bitcoin to its 15,000+ content providers using the platform. As well as the Latin American social media outlet there are others operating with similar methods such as Zapchain and the Japanese platform OKWave.%0A%0ASteemit hopes to continue its growth and seems to be progressing at a fast rate with registrants coming every day, and large sums of payout distribution. Currently, the Steem trading market is number 15 out of 705 different cryptocurrencies according to Coinmarketcap.com. Ned Scott and Dan Larimer hope that someday %E2%80%9Cthere will be many bloggers using the platform to monetize their content without using advertisements.%E2%80%9D\n %0A%0A%22By th\n@@ -5315,8 +5315,84 @@\n lopment.\n+ %0A%0AMore info%0Ahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H399YZ0pv0o&ab_channel=BitSpace\n",
