    It’s cute that you think anyone but the richest people and biggest corporations will be deregulated.

    Move to a red state. Put up an activity as harmful as possible to humans while keeping it legal and making sure to remember everyone at every moment that you are doing this because there are no regulations.

    You can’t convince a maga to stop voting trump with words, but you can force them if their only other option is dying for the lack of regulations.

      So your solution is to sow more division by believing people who vote Republican are stupid? The same people who believe you are stupid for voting Democrat (or anyone else)? Interesting…

      Maybe target the real problem: the system and the people who uphold it. Otherwise you are just a pawn of the wealthy.

        I mean realistically what are you gonna do, appeal to their better nature? We’ve been trying to do that since when… Reagan? Nixon? The right has only dug in deeper and deeper, and now the Nazis are back.

        We’re long overdue for some fuck about and find out time IMO.

    Those regulations exist for a reason. Be the reason.

    I don’t mean “do the thing”, make it clear to them why the thing was banned. If you don’t know, look into your history books.

    I’ve spent a career in places with very little rule of law or effective governance.

    The only thing that can give you a sliver of hope is to physically be close to a community that is tight-knit and competent homesteaders. This is African village rules. Force and money are all that matters. Life is cheap. Food is scarce and untrustworthy unless you farm it yourself. Cities are nightmares of abuse with pockets for the super-wealthy behind walls.

    Real life examples like Lagos are hard to explain to Americans. Parable of the Sower gets close and is a book worth a read.

    I was going to say armed insurrection, but on second thought that might be ethical under those circumstances.

    Unethically probably the most gain could be in manufacturing fake medicine. Cheap inputs, expensive prices.

    Ah, in fact, even better for repeat customers: Making real medicine and selling the hard stuff over the counter (assuming drug schedules are “regulation”).

      Yea, organized resistance is both ethical and the only real option that isn’t nihilism.

        Fair point, but without regulations your claims can be way wilder, and you don’t have to make stuff safe to ingest anymore. Overall I think quackery can become even more profitable.

        (homeopathy) n. a complementary therapy based on the theory that ‘like cures like’. It involves treating a condition with a tiny dose of a substance that in larger doses would normally cause or aggravate that condition.

        No, I think they mean actual medicine my guy, based on science. If it’s “homeopathic” and it works, we just call it medicine.

    Create a buisness in the US to facilitate any illegal activity you want, but physically leave the country for your safety
