7 reasons Quinn Cozens went anarcho-capitalist
Quinn Cozens never woke up one day and decided to go straight-up anarcho-capitalist. He saw a lot of wrongs that had a paper trail back to one single entity.
That entity was the State. Something he concluded violated Natural Law. Why were people subjected to the State? Why did they need to ask permission from the State? There was no logic, since nobody sought permission from the State to exist.
The State didn’t create him. Nature did. A higher power. That unmoved mover, billions of years ago, breathed life into the universe. It wasn’t the State. Since that unmoved mover created everything, Quinn saw himself surrendering only to that higher power, whatever it may be.
On the other hand, the State came from mankind. A product that people created and forced other people to live under and abide by. Since the universe came to be and the State exerted its power with force, Quinn was under no obligation to accept. Even if the State assumed Quinn and everyone else did without consent.
But what led Quinn to this ultimate realization? There are seven key reasons he transformed into an anarcho-capitalist.
1 – Public school career
Long before his anarcho-capitalist days, Quinn took exception to public school. He spent his early years learning out of sheer curiosity and he could read before most of his peers. Then school happened, and Quinn found himself confined to sitting in a desk most of the day while listening to a teacher try and fail to connect with two dozen-plus students.
2 – Discovery of revisionism
Quinn always looked forward to history class, even when in public school. Then he discovered a chilling truth: Winners get to tell history. He further realized the State told its own version of history. He read revisionist takes, and what he found shocked him. It wasn’t long until Quinn deviated from mainstream thought and embraced revisionist history. Why’d our schools neglect it? Why’d they hide it?
3 – U.S. foreign policy
Even before Quinn went all-out anarcho-capitalist, he knew one thing: War was the health of the State. If there was an enemy to fight, the State had a manufactured reason to survive, thrive, and inflate. Even if there was no war, the number of U.S. bases abroad contributed to that same health of the State.
4 – Mass inflation
Quinn saw the dollar lose its value at varying points. He was seven when the Great Recession struck. And before he knew it, the federal debt swelled from roughly $10 trillion to over $38 trillion. Quinn saw prices rise like none other, and he was too smart to buy into the lie that greedy corporations were to blame. Why not just price-gouge ages ago?
5 – Inside knowledge of the mainstream media
Quinn was an independent sports writer before that Red Dawn-like attack destroyed America in July 2030. But he worked with enough mainstream outlets to understand the exact psychology on how to play to people’s emotions. It wasn’t long before he sensed an ominous pattern: They play with people’s emotions on purpose.
6 – COVID-19
Born in April 2001, Quinn was 18 when COVID struck and people lost their minds. He, before anyone else, knew shit was going to hit the fan. When it did, it confirmed something he’d known for years: The State didn’t enforce draconian measures and restrictions with much resistance. Why? Because people were so scared of this thing, they demanded such measures and restrictions.
7 – History of Christianity
Quinn never understood why so many libertarians and anarcho-capitalists embraced Christianity. Institutional Christianity, at the absolute least, destroyed pagan history while fusing pagan holidays with its own. Quinn grew up a Christian and always saw it as a means of force. Something he linked to its bloody history.
All of the above came about as a result of the State via force. That left Quinn with one conclusion: The State cannot coexist with Natural Law. From then on, Quinn spent time perfecting his views, and laying out the well-crafted argument with a firebrand’s perspective of why a benign State cannot exist.
