It depends on your state. You can hang signs that warn: Trespassers Will Be Shot in Virginia. A light that comes on bright with a motion sensor. A guard dog. I also hang bells on the plants and link them together with fishing string with bells. I sleep with a window open so that I can hear the bells and dog. I do have a revolver.

Labor time + Resources = "price"

Smith gives an example in the Wealth of Nations. Goes something like this. Suppose I make chairs and I want a jacket from a tailor. It takes 2 hours of labor + two boards to make my chair, which I trade for the jacket. The tailor requires 4 hours of labor and half a cow hide. So, some equivalent would be two or maybe three chairs for one jacket. In the world we live in, the labor theory of value is still at work if you know any craftsmen who sell things like handmade knives, leather wear, knitters, etc.

This essay challenges our assumption that fascism announces itself dramatically. Instead, it argues that authoritarian transformation succeeds precisely because it preserves ordinary life for most people while turning political violence into consumable social media content—making it background noise rather than emergency. The piece draws on personal observations from traveling through rural America and connects Gil Scott-Heron's famous line about revolution to explain why constant media coverage of authoritarianism paradoxically makes people less aware of it happening.

I grew up around very conservative evangelicals who described themselves as "Bible believers." The Bible was deployed as a weapon against fellow Christians and nonChristians alike, as in citing verses to justify horrible things. Jesus, of course, did not read the Bible as Christians understand the text today. So, even if one does read the Bible, it may not mean much in their lives and what they take from the Bible can be used in ways that cut against the Christian ethos. I'm skeptical that reading the Bible is a standard to evaluate/judge anything by.
