@freepatriot The problem is, how to get out without leaving things in a worse state than they were before Trump began. This is problematic.
Obviously we cannot accept an illegal tax on all boats through the strait. That problem has to be permanently solved before leaving, and since Trump created the mess, he has to fix it.
Americans scream that you cannot possibly have a society without high taxes, but why could the USA have a civilization and low taxes in 1920?
Americans say that you cannot have morals without tyranny, but why could the US have morality and freedom in 1950?
At the core of anarcho capitalist thought, is an emphasis on self-ownership and the non-aggression principle. Under the latter, individuals are free to go about their lives provided that they do not violate other people’s rights. That means people’s persons or property would be secured from external aggression.
This logic doesn’t just apply to interactions between individuals but also between society and the state.

Americans don't care if the USA is a police state, but Americans lose their minds if North Korea has tyranny.
We need to get out of Iran.

Maybe living in a free country leads people to be trusting and friendly and living in a police state causes people to be suspicious and rude.
Americans used to be surprised Russians from the Soviet Union were unfriendly.
Now that the USA is also a police state, you might understand why.
Patriots wish that they could find a phrase that would convince Americans to reject tyranny and defend freedom.

Americans say marijuana is banned to help the alcohol industry, but maybe the real reason weed is banned is to boost the private prison industry.
