Leave Us The
Fuck Alone
Party

Who we are

We are not left. We are not right. We are not center.

We are the people who looked at both parties and saw the same thing. Power using the machinery of government to control people who never asked to be controlled.

We are the rural farmer who wants the government off his land. We are the queer kid in a small town who wants to love who they love without asking permission. We are the person who just wants to drive to the store without their license plate being scanned, logged, and stored in a corporate database forever.

Your body belongs to you

Every inch of it. What you put in it. What you do with it. Who you share it with. What grows inside it. How you end it if that's your choice.

No government, no corporation, no church, and no neighbor has any legitimate claim over your body as long as you are not harming someone else with it.

This means abortion. This means drugs. This means the right to die. What you eat, what you drink, what you inject, what you smoke. Your body. Your choice. All of it. No exceptions for anyone's comfort.

Your mind belongs to you

What you believe. What you doubt. What you read. What you question. What conclusions you reach on your own.

No algorithm, no government agency, no platform, and no social consensus has the right to police the contents of your mind or punish you for thinking the wrong thoughts.

The only freedom that cannot be surveilled, cannot be legislated away, and cannot be taken without your consent is the freedom between your ears. Guard it.

Your movements belong to you

The Fourth Amendment was written by people who understood that a government that can track you everywhere is a government that can control you everywhere.

Flock Safety scans 20 billion license plates a month across 83,000+ cameras.[1] New cars will be required by federal law to monitor your eyes, your breath, and your behavior.[2] Ring doorbells feed into law enforcement networks.[3] Your phone logs everywhere you go.

None of this was voted on. None of this was consented to. All of it is being used against ordinary people who are not suspected of any crime. Protesters, abortion patients, activists, people who simply drove somewhere.[4]

Your data belongs to you

You did not consent to having your driving behavior sold to insurance companies.[5] You did not consent to having your location data harvested and shared with federal agencies.[6] You did not consent to having your purchasing habits packaged and sold to data brokers.

Your data is an extension of you. It belongs to you. The argument that you consented by using the service is the argument of people who wrote the terms of service.

What we oppose

We oppose surveillance. Not because we have something to hide, but because innocent people have a right to privacy precisely because they are innocent.

We oppose the drug war. Not because we endorse drug use, but because locking people in cages for what they put in their own bodies is obscene.

We oppose legislating who people can love. Not because we don't have opinions, but because our opinions about other people's relationships are none of their fucking business.

We oppose the manufactured culture war. It is a product, deliberately maintained to keep ordinary people fighting each other while the people running the system build the cage around all of us.

A note on consistency

This principle only means something if it is applied consistently.

You do not get to invoke bodily autonomy for drug use and deny it for abortion. You do not get to demand privacy from government surveillance and support surveilling other people's bedrooms. You do not get to champion free thought and demand platforms censor opinions you find offensive.

The principle applies to everyone or it applies to no one. The moment you carve out an exception for your side's favorite restriction, you have abandoned the principle and joined every other political movement that believes in freedom only for people who agree with them.

Why this threatens power

The left loses speech codes and lifestyle regulations. The right loses drug prohibition and bedroom legislation. Both parties lose the culture war that funds them and distracts everyone from the surveillance infrastructure, the endless wars, and the steady transfer of wealth upward.

There is nothing in "leave us alone" for the people who profit from controlling us. No surveillance contract to award. No prison bed to fill. No moral panic to monetize.

The people best positioned to sound the alarm are often the ones who don't need to. Learn to research things for yourself. Find primary sources. Read the actual legislation. Follow the actual money. Don't accept "you're paranoid" as an answer when the evidence is sitting right there in public records.
