If you truly wish to smash the nanny state, then don’t provide any children. If you really want to destroy society, then you must refuse to breed any future replacement workers. If you actually want to sabotage the social order, then you must reject the indoctrination to raise a next generation.
Politicians talk so much about “family values” precisely because this sort of domestic unit enslaves you to the system. While a single individual might be brave enough to resist mass oppression, a parent is always a bit more of a coward to take-on the establishment. You cannot struggle against the corporate state if you are afraid that your kids will go hungry when you ultimately lose your paycheck. The pressure to feed a family enslaves the worker, so refusing to burden yourself with offspring makes it all the more difficult for managers to control the lone individual. After all, you can’t buck the system if you are worried that your brats might be deprived of their healthcare. One you start changing diapers, you end up doing what the establishment tells you. A mother with children to support will always end up doing exactly what the boss commands. There is something about shitting out a kid that saps a parent's backbone.
I don’t care how rebellious you might imagine yourself – if you have a child to your name then you surely haven’t resisted shit. Government doesn’t care how many protest marches you might attend, as long as you have excreted a couple babies. Childrearing is always an act of conformity. Liberals who continually justify their despotism as “protecting children” – will lose a weapon against your freedom if you simply don’t have any offspring. The child-protection racket will not be able to coerce anything from you if you don’t have any bastards. All that matters for the ruling class is the harvesting of yet another generation of wage slaves. Ultimately, our totalitarian society will be destroyed by your refusal to procreate.
Mind you, this tyranny will not be demolished by having the current generation gradually wither away — that will, quite obviously, take a bit too long. Instead, the authoritarian democracies of our time will die-out because the refusal to breed children frees your mind from social manipulation. A gentleman without any dependents is able to think freely. Rebelling against the humanitarian's constant pressure to become a parent is a renunciation of your assigned social role. Remaining childfree is a repudiation of the ideal of a more perfect society yet to come.
Getting your tubes tied liberates the mind; getting a vasectomy frees your thought from communitarian brainwashing. If you refuse to spread your seed then you are damn near invulnerable to coercion. A childfree individual is not quick to obey orders.

Every dictionary will tell you that misanthropy is simply a basic distrust of human nature, but it is much more than that. The experts will define misanthropy as just a hated of mankind, but the word truly signifies a great deal more than that. In fact, misanthropy is a philosophical position that gives the individual a guiding principle for understanding the actual reality of this world. Yet, despite all that, the encyclopedias always give the impression that there is something reprehensible about misanthropy.
Ultimately, misanthropy becomes a strategy of social interaction. The misanthrope is always uneasy around his neighbors – merely because he recognizes the menace of his fellow beings. The misanthrope always treats his fellow man as his greatest threat – not merely because of the inevitability of a physical beating at the fists of your neighbors, but also because of the certainty of personality destruction as the result of herd conformity. Only a misanthrope knows what to expect from the human species, and hatred of all humanity prevents you from being taken-in.
Think of misanthropy as way of understanding the nature of the world. Only an absolute loathing for your fellow beings is sufficient to put events into their proper perspective. A complete and utter repugnance for humanity helps you to decode behavior; the misanthrope understands the true meaning behind human activity because he knows that, deep down, there are always evil intentions at play. Misanthropy is an instinctive recognition that there is something ominous behind the other person’s smile. A misanthrope realizes that a stranger’s friendly wave means that there will be something concealed in the fingers of the left hand. Misanthropy allows you to see what the establishment is concealing from you. Misanthropy gives you the ability to recognize what the community is hiding from you.
Think of misanthropy as a way of truly knowing another human being. Do-gooders would have you believe that that hatred is the result of ignorance – but nothing could be further from the truth: loathing comes from knowing something all too well. You do not detest another person because he is a stranger – no, you despise another person because you have glimpsed the depths of his soul. You scorn you neighbor because you have seen his dirty laundry; you sneer because you have caught sight of the skid marks. You are disgusted by the altruists because you fully understand their real intentions. An individual who truly hates his fellow man has somehow managed to make sense of another human being.
Think of misanthropy as keeping you wary and watchful. The misanthrope is always on the alert. The fellow who loathes his fellow man is always looking over his shoulder. Hatred is a way of giving yourself a psychological edge when dealing with other human predators. Misanthropy is a way of keeping other people from sneaking up on you. When a panhandler tells you that he is hungry, you keep your hand on your wallet just in case he tries to pick your pocket. A disgusted man is always wide-awake. A misanthrope may be many things, but he is never conned by a humanitarian’s fine words.
Think of misanthropy as a force-field that will keep your unique character from being from being contaminated by other human beings. Like a shield, loathing is defensive. Misanthropy repudiates everything that the establishment wants you to be. At a time in history when the mass media wants everyone to be part of a community, an embittered character is a way of safeguarding your individual identity. Sheer hared is the surest means of resisting conformity; after all, you would hardly want to become a part of something that you so heartily despise. Altruism will always result in uniformity, while a misanthrope invariably remains an individualist. Hatred is protective. Misanthropy is a means of guarding yourself from mind control.
Think of misanthropy as an instinctive reaction to being around other human beings. Misanthropy is an honest response to what other human beings have done to you in the past. You loathe other people because of what they have already carried out against you. Hatred prevents any further harm. The misanthrope has no illusions about the virtue of mankind – the misanthrope has the courage to see humanity for what it is. Better to detest everyone than to be betrayed by anyone else.
Once you come to accept misanthropy, you know what you are up against. You loathe the human species because you know what they have in store for you. Human behavior is not a mystery to the misanthrope.
Any coward can love a particular human being – but it takes guts to hate the entire human race. Misanthropy is what other human beings deserve.
Hatred liberates you from social convention. Like Molière puts in the drama Misanthrope of 1666: “My hate is general, I detest all men.” Only a man who hates and detests all humanity is truly free. Only the complete misanthrope dares to be an independent thinker.
A man who does not die a complete misanthrope has failed to learn anything from life.

In this life, the only political position that need concern you is what benefits you personally. All that matters is what you can get for yourself. That doesn’t mean you will receive everything you want, since all other residents will be looking out for their own interests at the same time. In the great cosmic scheme of things, with everyone looking out for himself, everything will balance out in the end. Politics is much like a set of old-fashioned balance scales – where the profits of one ethnic group are at a perfect equilibrium with the prosperity of another sub-culture.
But if you should be sucked into worrying about someone else, you will tip the advantage to their side: their interests will overturn yours – not only harming and hurting your own lifestyle, but overturning these same societal scales. Putting another person ahead of you not only injures and impairs your own standard of living, but concern for others violates the very symmetry of heaven. Altruism upsets the divine calibration. Generosity is the measure of an unbalanced citizen.
The slightest advantage that you give to your opponents will only be used against you. The slightest gain that you allow to your neighbors will only be tuned against you in the end. If you permit others to get equal rights, that slight benefit will be leveraged against you in the years to come. The only civil rights that need concern you are your own.
You take care of your own, and the other guy will take care of his own. All life is struggle. All existence is conflict: a struggle of group against group, neighbors against neighbors, and man against man. The nature of reality is one being contending against another being. Defend your own interests or you won’t have any interests left.
There is no right and wrong – there is only what benefits you and what benefits another person. To help another person is only to harm yourself.
