One great division amongst libertarians is about “conspiracy theories”. I hate to use that term, because while a lot of the things people like Alex Jones talk about are complete nonsense, the term “conspiracy theory” is used to dismiss an idea without considering it, and a lot of things commonly dismissed as “conspiracy theory” are…...
Besides perhaps Kim Jong Il, I’m not sure there ever was a dictator as obnoxious as Muammar Gaddafi. He took power in a Coup d’état, funded “revolutionary” groups all over the world, but of course, murdered anyone who dared to challenge his own power. That of course is in addition to the ridiculous clothes, and the long…...
Since the seizure of Silk Road, and the arrest of Ross Ulbricht, the alleged mastermind of the online drug market, aka Dread Pirate Roberts, the United States Federal Government has alleged that he took part in at least two murder for hire plots. Both of the alleged plots, involved a government agent pretending to be…...
On its face, a government shutdown sounds like good policy, if not a utopia. Government, after all, is not in the habit of doing good things. So doing less of it, tends to appeal to those who see this monster for what it is. In practice, a government shutdown as the ruling class puts it into…...
It’s the constant thing people are always talking about amongst libertarians. Drama. On the one hand, people always complain about it, they claim not to want it, and they condemn people who participate in it.

Earlier this month, after being expelled from the Free State Project for writings they claimed “exceeded the limits of defensive force”, I challenged Stefan Molyneux to stand for the FSP in a debate on the use of force. After all, if what I said was so violent and dangerous, surely the best way to deal…...
Update 4:25pm EST. This has been called off. As the clock loudly ticks towards midnight, the hour is expected to bring with it a partial shutdown of the United States Federal Government. Will the people of New York grow tails and begin attacking one another? Or will they simply go about their daily lives with…...
Some people think it’s good marketing to paint your idea as some perfect world, those people know nothing about marketing. Sure, you don’t have to put “Asshole” in the title of your blog and piss everybody off, there’s a place for tact, but anybody who has ever met a sales pitch before, knows when something…...
Last night I had a terribly brief discussion about society with some family members. Within 15 minutes I was asked about energy, environment, education, foreign policy, and economics. Of course, I had answers for their questions, but these are complicated subjects when you have to deconstruct 60 years of government propaganda from a man’s mind…....
