Me and several other voluntaryists saw the violence of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unite_the_Right_rally" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charlottesville </a>brewing. We knew the alt-right was getting out of control, because their rhetoric has been growing increasingly hostile. We knew the violence was looming.

Staunch voluntaryists have been speaking with these alt-right agitators before they totally disavowed the liberty movement and embraced white nationalism. We knew they were rejecting the principles of liberty and accepting something much darker.

It is just tragic that some people who used to call themselves peaceful anarchists were involved. Now they are happy being white supremacists and Nazis. Specifically, <a href="https://christophercantwell.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christopher Cantwell</a> was there, and he was rallying the troops for a fight.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Alt-righters Have Lost Touch with Dignity and Compassion</h2>
I am not surprised that he was there, though. It is just sad to see how far downhill him and those like him have gone. They have completely lost touch with any kind of dignity or the ability to communicate compassionately. This is why the events of Charlottesville were utterly predictable.

It is true, "leftists" are to blame as well, but all these "alt-right" factions did was adopt the left's tantrum-like hysteria. They did not do anything to mitigate tensions, only escalate differences and incite warfare. It was the worst possible thing that could have happened, and it is a pockmark on human relations.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">What True Visionaries Were Doing August 11 and 12</h2>
If anyone wants to know what actual liberty lovers, compassionate anarchists, and visionaries where doing on the dates of August 11 and 12, they could simply look to San Francisco.

Instead of meeting up to incite violence and brawl with other people in Charlottesville, we were in San Francisco at the Startup Societies Summit trying to figure out how to solve the world's problems. We were working for a good cause through cooperation, connection, and shared kindness. Instead of beating each other and chanting offensive slogans, we were trying to determine the importance of decentralized technology, robotics, seasteading, and psychedelic medicine. We were interested in bettering the world rather than displacing hatred and pain onto others.
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Follow the Voluntaryists and Relational Anarchists</h2>
If anyone wants to solve the world's problems with true friends of liberty, follow the voluntaryists and relational anarchists who stayed true to the original vision of a free and peaceful society. Do not fall prey to the obsidian evil of altrightism, ethnonationalism, hate, fear, and violence. Solving the world's problems are not done through fighting and destruction. It is done through building, creating, and moving forward with love.
<blockquote>And as I've gotten older, I've had more of a tendency to look for people who live by kindness, tolerance, compassion, a gentler way of looking at things.

~Martin Scorsese
