I think the oppressive state that FOTLers live in comes from the fact that they are not allowed to do whatever they feel are their freedoms, you know stuff like not having a drivers license, insurance, MOT, being able to grow their own weed, welching on mortgages and loans and whatever the hell else they feel like doing without someone from the gov't saying "Hang on a minute, you can't do that, we have laws you know."
And that kills me because i would never want to do most of those things, and for good reason.
I mean my drivers license and the appropriate tests let me know i am a fairly safe driver. And let me to some extent prove that to others. Without it any idiot would be driving, and a car is a big dangerous weapon when used improperly. I respect others right to safety enough that i can say " good idea" to drivers license , insurance, etc.
Growing weed, yeah i would like to be able to. But would i give up all the things my government gives me ( roads, health care, etc) just so i can? No, not really, i like being able to be healthy and not have to drive on dirt more than getting high thanks.
And i mean the rest is all the same. Ways to get out of agreements you made. I would not want to do this. I mean sure if people just started to give me free crap i would be a fan. But to try and weasel out of debts, to anyone? That is just being a bad person. But fotl'ers think its okay, because they are usually screwing over a big company with this type of action. And as we all know big companies deserve no rights whatsoever.
What kills me is how they think it is okay to follow no rules they don't want to that are set by the government, but they also have no problem taking advantage of the services the government provides.
If they truly want to be free of government they should not use roads, accept police help, medical care ( not payed for by themselves. ) or any other of the services us poor slaves take for granted. And should they want to use these services they should be on a per use basis decided that day by an elected representative of the government. See how long someone is a freeman when trapped in a burning car and the fire department says " well, would love to help you sir, but our fee schedule is 1000 per 15 minutes we spend rescuing you. Do you have that on you? We can wait for someone to bring it if you want, but that is 500 per hour. "
