Let's get into spoon or a little, what are some of the era big takeaways from Spooner's work. So recently I was on a podcast with Carrie welder. She's a pretty good, Antiochus, libertarian YouTuber. I had her on my show and she introduced me to some works of Spooner and I had I had studied a little bit with with fee.
I think for one hour to climb. I have cited like a quote from Spooner, but it really opened my eyes to the fallacy of constitutionalism because I've always said that was like more conservative or Batarian with like the last three or four years. I've always been like. Oh, yeah. I'm a constitutionalist. You know, I, you know, I like the Constitution, the Constitution protects our rights and then ring splitter made me realize that it doesn't like at all like not even a little bit.
It should you know, I still think it's a good document. I'm not I'm not like I'm not trashing the Constitution, but I'm trashing the power that people think it has because it really doesn't have much. I mean, since this country since his country's Inception. The government has walked all over the Constitution. So reading the spinner. I don't know if I'm ever gonna become like an anarcho-capitalist or an anarchist or something, but it definitely put me into that direction.
Because I think one of his main philosophies was just that The Constitution basically either cants protect our rights or it created US government that can't. And I'm just I'm a little bit disenchanted with it lately. But that's again, that's not to say that. I hate it. I wish it was more powerful but it's just not it's difficult when you have people trying to abide by a document and if they do a really bad job, you can't
opt out of funding them. I mean imagine if like restaurants got your money, whether they brought the food to the table. Well, or they didn't. Well that's going to attract the most evil people to work at the restaurant over time and you're never going to get the food and they're always going to want more money. So it does visited, or says you're going to get your Foods. You're like, oh my God, the sign on the door says, I'm gonna get
my foot. Oh my God, and you can scream without that all you want, but at the side of the door isn't holding these people accountable and it's kind of a useless sign. So I like the rule on the side of the door. I really enjoy all the Amendments. I enjoy the first amendment. I enjoyed the second. I met, it's Eight, it was written by a genius.
As I'm so grateful that they wrote that because we have a basis for our large part of our ideology, as people who live in more conservative or libertarian, or even an artist, but what does it actually? Do?
Not much. And I know like that the Supreme Court, you know, things are decided based on the Constitution but not as like not nearly as as many things, not as many things in there, should be. I mean, I feel like you're so many unconstitutional laws these days and nobody really talks about Until it comes to like Roe v-- Wade or or whatever. They think it comes to the hot-button issues. But so many little things that are just kind of fly Under The Radar, really pissed me off.
