The World’s Leaders Are Terrible. Let’s Declare Our Independence From All of Them.
According to an excellent article on The Intercept we should all declare our independence from all of the world’s “leaders” as soon as possible. Everything in that article is in line with what I’ve written in my posts “Statism: A System for your Enslavement” and “Politics: An Exercise in Futility”. Here are some quotes:
WHEN IN THE Course of human events, it becomes necessary for the Sane People of this Planet to dissolve the political bands that have connected them with their Leaders, and to give getting along without Leaders a real Shot, courtesy requires that we should declare the causes of this long-overdue separation, just so we’re all on the same page.

They’ve informed us that they’ve talked to God, and that He agrees with them Completely.
…
The cost is finally too dear, and we need a new Strategy. We, therefore, the Sane People of this Planet, who don’t think that anybody will (or should) remember any of us in 500 years, do solemnly publish and declare that all the world’s Leaders are hereby relieved of their positions; […]
