Absolute self-reliance, here I come.
And if anybody tries to stop you, Wang 'em.

No thanks, Wang, I like being part of society.
'Baaaaa! Baaaaa!'
If you think the philosophy of Jiqiang Wang is just about crafting little homemade guns, you are sorely mistaken.
What is it about, then?
Giving you a momentary escape from the World of Sheep.

What is this 'World of Sheep'?
Look around you. You're inside it.
StatehoodDC 9
THE TESTING GROUND FOR TECHNOLOGIES OF DEHUMANISATION KNOWN AS THE DEVELOPED WORLD.
More a Prison of Sheep, actually. A fluffy cage where the inmates are sheep, the guards are sheep, even the walls are sheep. That is society.
Free me from these plush walls, Wang!
Do not ask Wang for help.
Reach out and take what you want.
That is the Wang Way of Absolute Self Reliance.

I'm listening...
Don't just make your own guns, make your own laws. Make your own drugs. Print your own IOUs and introduce them into the flow of currency. Don't pay taxes, declare independence from the state and make people pay you taxes.
And remember, you owe the Prison of Sheep nothing, and that includes remuneration for the items that you decide you need.
Wait, I can just steal shit?
Stealing implies the breaking of an agreed social contract. Did you sign a contract?
Now that you mention it, no, I never agreed to any of this shit.
Go now. The world is yours. The only thing stopping you is your ovine adherence to the rules.
I mean, that's kind of the point of the social contract, you don't sign it...
Clearly the enemy got to you first.
This sounds like a highly corrosive philosophy.
Toxic are the sheep fumes you're inhaling.
What has society done for me, anyway?
Nothing but fatten and shear.
I don't think I want to learn the Wang Way.
The sheep-brain rebels against the idea of freedom.
Imagine. Instead of just making your own guns, make your own laws. Make your own drugs. Print your own IOUs and boldly introduce them into the flow of currency. Don't pay taxes, declare independence from the state and make people pay you taxes.
That's not really how I view society.
Why do you think you sought out the Wang Guide to Improvised Firearms?
You were unconsciously seeking initiation into the Wang Way of Absolute Self-Reliance.
Look, I just wanted to make a gun.
No. Some repressed instinct lurking in your sheep brain was crying out for freedom, that is why you sought out the Wang Guide.
My profession requires a gun, that's really all there is to it.
Wrong.
You're right. Guide me, Wang.
Do not ask Wang for guidance.
I know exactly what it's about. It's about Wanging enemies left and right.
Stop talking as if you know what that word means.
It is about giving you a momentary escape from the World of Sheep.
The world is yours, if you dare. The only thing stopping you is your ovine adherence to the rules. - ZERO PARADES
