Going Galt

I'm still not following. WHY would Galt need those government or corporate services if Galt is providing for itself? that's kind of the whole idea behind Galt - the community does for itself, forces government to do for ITSELF. If you are still accepting socialistic government services at all, you're doing it wrong.

It's the same idea as is behind Parler and Gab - just stop using their tainted crap and create your own. Starve the beast that is trying to kill you by ignoring it and no longer contributing to it's revenue.

Quote:If Galt starts to get dangerous for the government they will start cutting services to people and blaming it on Galt. turning people agenst Galt.

How are they to cut off services they are not providing to begin with?

Quote:I go back to the troubles, in an IRA strong hold the IRA destroyed a large telephone exchange leaving a whole area without phones. Now the government phone company set up an mobile phone exchange but said in the news papers and TV that if this exchange was damaged they would not replace it leaving the people with out phones. It was never damaged. 

That only worked because those folks were accepting government services to begin with. They had not "gone Galt".

Quote:So a telephone company controlled a terrorist's group, something the police and army could not do. People needed there phone lines, and the IRA knew they would lose massive support if they attacked the exchange again.
Take away peoples phone, bank account water and power and blame  Galt, Galt will not survive very long, the people will destroy Galt

And again, how do you take away from them what they don't have to begin with? How do the people destroy Galt without destroying themselves, for Galt IS The People. I'm not talking here about blowing up telephone exchanges or power substations - I'm talking about just not using them any more, and letting them rust down under their own weight. If folks still want them, they will be there to be used, just as the providers are using the people who use them. there will just be fewer subscribers, forcing the providers to work a little bit more, reduce their profit margins to account for the reduced revenue, or flounder. If they flounder, who cares? They flounder because no one is left using their service, and if no one is using their service, how is it's disappearance going to hurt people not taking advantage of it to begin with?

"Going Galt" is not an act of overt violence. it is the ultimate extension of Ghandi's "Civil Disobedience" writ large. It is withdrawing from the Machine, refusing to interact with it, neither feeding it nor feeding from it, and letting it eat itself until it is starved down to a more manageable level.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.

Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
