Walter E Williams - Economic Rape VS Seduction

[@anwarsadat5334]

How does something immoral, when done privately, become moral when it is done collectively? Furthermore, does legality establish morality? Slavery was legal; apartheid is legal; Stalinist, Nazi, and Maoist purges were legal. Clearly, the fact of legality does not justify these crimes. Legality, alone, cannot be the talisman of moral people. Walter E. Williams

For example, why is illegal to sell yourself into slavery in exchange for free rent? I value your life more than my room, you value my room more than your freedom to freeze to death! Voluntary exchange!

[@RevoltingPeasant123]

@@sd-xx8ep Slavery, by definition, is involuntarily. Thus it is impossible, in the literal sense, to sell yourself into slavery.

And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king. And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots. And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots. And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.

Walter Williams was and always will be a joy to watch and listen to...he continues to please his fellow man. Stay blessed.

[@viimaurice3131]

He is a great Voice that will live on. Thanks Walter for being you.

[@HarrDog]

Walter E. Williams will continue to make his fellow man feel good, even long long after he has left us, so long as his memory and his mind can be preserved. RIP Walter E Williams

So much wisdom.

[@mattsharkey8437]

This little video shows you that Rape is based on power and not on lust. Lust is the mindset and power is the action and destruction or chaos is the outcome. God bless!

[@davee91889]

Beautiful. How comes I didn't know of these man's work

[@flimflannery3192]

The world will sorely miss Walter Williams. Rest in peace.

[@maryanna71701]

Great video! Love Walter Williams.

[@uduran9907]

RIP to a great mind... this is the time he is needed the most!

[@daytoncoates4930]

“The essence of government is rape” I see what he means here, but man is it hilarious out of context

[@slamfreepoetry1845]

Great mind, God Bless him

[@danepcarver4951]

I always like listening to the Rush Limbaugh Radio Show when Walter E. Williams guest host.

In less than 4 minutes this man takes your mind to a new dimension of thinking, where you can expand your ideas in pleasant way.

[@ghostaccountlmao]

RIP to one of the best minds

[@Norm475]

Reminds me of an old joke I heard many years ago. What is the difference between kinky and seduction? Seduction is when you use a feather, kinky is when you use the whole chicken.

[@konberner170]

And that is the entire argument in 3 minutes.

[@bubuluke]

What a wonderful explanation. Sadly, he is no longer with us. A grim warning for those who want big government.

[@craigyoung2261]

I would be interested on Williams' insights into employment

Taxation is rape! That's my purse and I don't know you, gubmint!

Sounds like this guy just wanted to make prostitution legal! :)

This is so wrong. Lots of transactions in the free market are not voluntary because people have no better choice. e.g. I hate Facebook and ins, but I have to use them because all people are there. I wish I have a better choice, and the government can certainly help.

[@babblingbananas]

No. You are perfectly free not to use FB and Instagram without any threat of physical violence. You chose to use them because interacting with people is more important to you. You may not like the choices available to you but you're still making a voluntary choice

[@Minato-xu3si]

@@babblingbananas Yes I'm not going to be physically hurt if I don't use FB or Whatsapp. But that doesn't mean I'm voluntarily using it. I believe talking to people online is a basic human right, and FB is sort of forcing me to use their product by the threat of taking away my basic right.

[@TkerIsAPimp]

@@Minato-xu3si they are not forcing you to log on. I have not had a Facebook for years and talk with people using my phone, or websites where people gather. Although fb does capture most people and most groups, it is not the only place and certainly not even the best place for some.

[@HeadhuntexGamer]

@@Minato-xu3si There isn't such a thing as Human Right to use the internet, the internet is a tool that was created by someone with an interest, the same goes to facebook it's merely a mechanism created by someone to connect people through the internet and the creator did it for profit, imagine if when letters were created people said it was a Human Right to send letters, which implies it would be for "free". It doesn't make sense! Saying it's a Human Right is basically saying "Since I have the right to use the internet someone else taxes will be taken just so I can use it!" Using products has nothing to do with Human Rights, Human Rights is about individuals being capable of LIFE, you won't die if you don't use the internet!

[@babblingbananas]

@@Minato-xu3si Why is it a basic human right? Just because something is useful/enjoyable doesn't mean it is a human right. Also what's stopping anyone from creating alternates to FB? If FB's policies are awful, competition is the best way to overcome it. If people start choosing the alternate then FB will be forced to change their policies or they'll go out of business.
