Hello All,

 

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Ivan, I am 32 and live in the great state of New Hampshire. Yesterday, after a year of thinking about it, I decided to join the board and also become a donating member.

 

I have been an off and on listener of the FDR podcast for at least 5 years. A very good cousin that lived with me years ago introduced me to many of the topics here and we would have very long and thought provoking conversations. At the time I was a huge Ron Paul supporter and had a hard time getting it. Eventually I became thirsty for more information and just started to listen to the podcast on my own. 

 

I feel like Pandora's box has been opened in my life. There is no turning back after you truly understand what is going on here. Everyday I am trying to figure out ways to change my life. For example, I have made a conscious decision to not spank any kids that I might have in the future. I have also started to introduce the Philosophy to my girlfriend, close friends, coworkers and other family members. I think the hardest part for me is the feeling of being an outsider but it won't stop me from trying. 

 

That being said, I am very excited to finally be posting on here and looking forward to many great discussions!

 

Ivan

Welcome Ivan! :)

 

It seems like for a lot of people, you'll see a couple videos, forget about the show for a while and then something clicks and you end up watching a lot more videos / listening to a lot more podcasts. That thirst you mentioned.

 

I don't know why that is, but I think it's fascinating. Why do you think you got thirsty? It would be nice to recreate that toward my own nefarious purposes mwahaha! ;)

Thanks Kevin!

 

For me, it was just a touch and go. Up until 2012 I still supported Ron Paul and donated to his 2012 campaign. I desperately wanted to see change in the world and truly thought there was a road through Government. I pretty much lost hope that it will happen that way after 2012. I think as I really started to understand it better, the thirst only grew and the podcasts only supported it. I think my thirst is mainly driven by a passion for knowledge and understanding about how the world functions.

Hello IvanNH! Welcome to the forum! I just made an account a few days back and I can tell you that the conversations here are very pleasant! Just be prepared for the hammer of facts that is about to hit you if you make an argument! ;)

Thanks Kevin!

Yeah politics in the USA might not ever be a possible way for Libertarians to proceed, but I still believe it is still possible in some developed countries. Ron Paul is a great man, the corrupt "Democracy" just doesn't allow people like that to get in power, because that would be the end of the American Fascism... :/

Hey Markus. The problem with democracy obviously is the use of force. There is nothing voluntary about a democratic system. It relies on a small group of individuals to be the moral police aka the biggest gun in the room. It just doesn't and could never work efficiently, even in a small country.
