It's time to talk about everyone's favorite subject: Anarchy. I can hear the cheers now, millions of people quiver with joy at the mere mention of the word. We have words to describe these people, but we really only need to use one: Idiot.
That's right folks, anarchists are fools following someone else's idea, which they don't understand in the least. They run around preaching the fall of government, advocating the destruction of millions of dollars worth of property. They foolishly throw their half baked beliefs at other people who also have no understanding. It would seem that this whole anarchy thing has become something of a trend, and we all know what that means...
Imagine a life of nothing but running around and advocating the destruction of something you don't understand. If you lived a life like that, you would be an anarchist. Of course, I use this term loosely, because it can mean so many different things, such as hypocrite, moron, and drooling neanderthal. The anarchist is the person who wants the total downfall of government so that there will be no more laws, but is unwilling to take the bad with the good. Lets say an anarchist puts a hard day in at the local McDonalds (which is where they almost always work, if they have jobs at all), and walks out into the parking lot to find that his car has been stolen at some point during his shift. He calmly walks to the nearest payphone (after a twenty mintue comprehension gap) and calls who? That's right, the police. Wonderful minions of the government that this little anarchist hates so much. I hate to be the one to say this, but anarchy means the complete and total disassembly of any and all government(s) and functions there of. That would mean police, fire departments, armies, perhaps even water and power services. Maybe even (please no) phone service and therefor internet connections. That would mean that all you little anarchists out there would have to actually log off (that means not be online)and go lead your meaningless little lives instead of sitting on your dead asses searching for meaningless anti-government drivel.
Anarchy is idiocy. It simply is. Sure it has a nice symbol that might be fun to draw on bathroom walls, but that doesn't make it right. How can anyone want the downfall of something that exists simply to help? It simply doesn't work that way. Watch out, you thinkers out there, for the catch phrases of the anarchists. They will say things like "we would all be so free without government, just like the old days". Old days? What old days? Before government, there was nothing. People had to work every waking hour in the searing heat and bitter cold simply to retain the privelage of breathing. This is a good thing? Sorry, folks, that doesn't sound like freedom to me. Of course, I could be wrong, I mean, doesn't the occaisonal mongol invasion sound like fun? Hey, we could even bring back that whole pillage and rape thing, doesn't that sound great? Stupidity. Sheer stupidity.
Also, you will hear the anarchist utter such quips of wisdom as "the government used to work, but not anymore". Isn't this a great statement. Sure the government used to work. That's the only reason that there is an America today. It still works. Check this out: 40 hour work weeks, paid vacations, safety within the borders, minimum wage, a real economy, printed money. These are all good things, yes? These are all thinge we have, for the most part. And who do we have to thank? That very thing which these fools want to get rid of: our government! That's right. Who fights our wars? Who keeps our borders secure? Who makes laws so that you don't have to get shot at every morning on the way out the door? Our government!
As always, don't go kill the anarchists, that would be bad (who would we laugh at then?). Simply make them understand. Prompt them to think about what they believe in. Ask them to justify their thoughts, their feelings. Let them find the truth on their own, by all means, but show them where the path starts. Don't hurt them for being misguided. And don't, for any reason, fall for their bullshit. Have an idea, figure out who you are, and, as always...
