Statist Quotes

“Nine out of ten eugenicists in the 20th Century were also Progressives or Socialists, as central to the eugenic creed is the desire to engineer and centrally plan human reproduction and heredity. These were not people that believed in individual liberty. They certainly didn't believe the individual had the right to chose their own mate freely. They were statists, They were totalitarians at heart.”

“No doubt you’ve heard the phrase 'ignorance of the law is no excuse’, and are probably familiar with the statist meaning of that phrase: Being ignorant of a law is no excuse for breaking it. However 'ignorance of the law is no excuse' also has a less-well-known libertarian meaning: This is an ignorant law and there’s no excuse for it!”

“I am not interested in having freedom from burdens. I don't need any authority to free me from responsibility. I am not interested in having freedoms within an authoritarian's parameters. I am only interested in self-determination. I have only respect for liberty as I am a libertarian.”

“A nauseating display of statist brainwashing anywhere, Independence Day is especially trying on my small island. The entire landmass is littered with flag-waving tourists from North, South, East and West Jesus so unaware their country is a democracy in name only they wouldn’t know freedom if it bit them on their star-spangled asses.”

“ich könnte es wie Ibrahim machen und die absurdesten Lügen über mich erzählen. Ich könnte sagen: »Eigentlich bin ich 40, aber ich habe mein Gesicht von einem plastischen Chirurgen verjüngen lassen. Ich arbeite nämlich für die pakistanische Regierung als Geheimagent und suche in Wien nach dem Stützpunkt der Illuminati.« Oder ich könnte mir ein Beispiel an Maya nehmen und mich mit den Leuten sozialisieren, ihnen Fragen stellen– ich könnte versuchen, mehr als nur ein lächelndes Gesicht in der Menge zu sein. Aber ich bin nicht Ibrahim. Und ich bin auch nicht Maya. Also nicke ich nur und halte still wie der Statist, der ich in Wirklichkeit nun mal bin.”

“Hm?" Sie runzelt die Stirn. "Ein was? Ein Stativ?" "Was hat er gesagt?", fragt Hama durchs Handy. "Ob er ein Dativ ist? Dem Tariq, dem Tariq, was redest du da?" "Sei still" sagt Maya zu ihrer Freundin und wirft mir dann einen verwirrten Blick zu. "Wie meinst du das?" Ich hab das Gefühl, jede Eigenschaft, die man mir als Mensch zuschreibt, dient eher anderen Menschen als mir. Ich fühl mich halt nie angekommen, egal wo ich bin. Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie ich das meine, ich bin einfach verdammt müde.”

“I have no sense of Steven's words; all I know is that if he is the spokesman for empire, then empire is an ugly, dissolute thing. His voice is like the whisper of the devil. Sugarcoated words, designed to make what is evil palatable so that more evil can be committed. Listening to him is like listening to the clean, efficient turning of the wheel at my uncle's bacon factory.”
