It is July 3rd. I went to get a haircut yesterday. The barber was a great guy. The small talk began. I mentioned my time in the Marines and it happened. The most awkward thing that always happens and I have no idea how to respond. He thanked me for “my service.” I just didn’t know how to respond. I was the oppressor. I was the part of the government whose job it is to commit mass murder around the world. Still, it could have been worse, I could have been a Pig.  The small talk continued on with everyone talking about the same general things. Family and friends at BBQ’s and fireworks or holiday plans was the general topic of the barber shop.

I was asked what I was planning on the 4th. I had no idea what to say so I simply said”I’m not really into that kind of thing.”  This is the dilemma I face often. The majority have never examined the system or even questioned outside of learning the apologetics of the left or the right. What was I to say? Your flag represents the largest criminal syndicate in the history of mankind. Your “Independence day” is a lie, there is no independence within a state. You will be extolling the virtue of mass murderers.

I passed on explaining. I knew the patriotism they had would only be offended, and I don’t really want to upset the community barber shop.  I really just want to get along and help them have a nice day. It upsets people if you speak against what they have been taught to believe.

So…

Tomorrow is July 4th. They call it Independence day, which could not be further from the truth. Some of you Anarchists will go to back yard BBQ’s and some will visit family. Most of us won’t make an upset because the people we love are enjoying the moment.  They are having fun with their food and fireworks.

But….

I plan on doing my celebration on the 5th. July 5th is my new day to celebrate. It won’t be too big, something little maybe some veggie burgers because the red blooded American would cringe at that. Maybe I will do something more elegant with wine, cheese and a fruit & veggie platter. That does sound really good and I would like my anarchist holiday to be a little more sophisticated than ground dead cow and Budweiser beer.The statist can celebrate the union of their states. I will celebrate ‘after the states rule. I will celebrate after the state when we will abolish the state. They will celebrate the birth of the unholy union of their states on the 4th of july. I will take the 5th of july to celebrate anarchy.

Join me on the 5th in your own celebration. Celebrate the 5th of July this will be the true “independence day”.
