A world with consent at its center breeds accountability, reciprocity and knowledge. By exhibiting and encouraging Forgiveness, Empathy, Emotional Intelligence and Tolerance we can sustain that world and its bounty. #Amliberty #Libertarian

Individualism is not mutually exclusive to believing in community, but the exact opposite. The more our individual welfare is based on our own actions and earning the consent of others in social/economic arrangements, the greater the need to strive for community. #amliberty

In the battle between interventionism/fear/punishment and liberty/Hope/inspiration I choose hope! #Libertarian #Amliberty pic.twitter.com/KrnU6ub8LJ

Government can only compel action through punishment piling on the scar tissue and fear. Punishment only creates fear and never hope. Growing government compulsion only feeds fear into the world. #amliberty

People act the way they do due to their knowledge and experiences which fill them with hope to work towards and fear to avoid further pain and emotional scarring. #amliberty

We should treat every war, every regulation and every program with the utmost skepticism before we destroy the incomes that allow us to survive and thrive. #amliberty #libertarian #liberty pic.twitter.com/K1x1owDfIg

I don’t want to change the world because no single person or institution should have the power to do so. I do want the world to change and hope individuals and institutions move towards a core of consent and will do my part to influence that. #amliberty #libertarian

Libertarians, be kind to one another and form community. That community will attract others and be an example of the world we want to create. This will build the critical mass to change the culture of politics, enterprise and society to one based on consent. #amliberty

You choose what you put into the world. Choose love, tolerance, forgiveness, empathy, and charity because you never know when you need it to come back around. #libertarian #amliberty

Pet peeve: when someone suggests banning something and when you protest they say “what’s a legitimate use for..” I should not have to justify every good or service to the world to consume it, period. #NoConsumerControl #amliberty

Fear can be spread through scary stories but words can’t fuel hope, but actions. Acting on community, charity, and setting an example of something to be hopeful for. The Libertarian community is a growing example of the hope consent brings. #amliberty pic.twitter.com/vvxvjjLosx

Hope can inspire each other to communicate, to give and to love each other as they hope to get back what they put out (reciprocity). Takes a sincere strong effort to win on hope but it’s the message that sows the seeds of a free and tolerant liberal order. #amliberty

Appeals through fear are the strongest but fuel societal division, hate and resentment as the loss is always framed as the fault of someone else, the other (the rich, immigrants, etc.). This is not the path to a free world. #amliberty

Appeals to rationality and justice can be very effective to those who have an activist mindset (a minority). The non-activist is appealed to in terms of fear of loss, hope for better and the expectation of reciprocity. #amliberty

Is the dreams, motivations and hopes of every individual the price we want to pay for a growing government that sends us to war, sets us against each other and limits our ability grow as individuals through the knowledge gained in our every choice? #amliberty

One way to think about it is there is a finite scarcity to ones ability to act. To the extent government actions cost me my time, resources and opportunities it has reduced my ability to act towards my own interests. #amliberty
— Alex Merced (@alexmerced) June 4, 2019
All actions come at true costs in resources, time and opportunity. Our own actions are primarily paid by the ourselves taking action while government action is paid by everyone. If everyone shared in the costs of your actions how do you think your actions may change? #amliberty

Governments and government created “development corporations” are by no means non-profit. They are for-loss enterprise. Free the market for sustainable enterprise and growth. #amliberty #libertarian
