I recently had occasion to consider a subject too often overlooked, which forms in no small part the foundation of all politics. It does so because it is at the heart of all human motivations. One might say, without it, there is no such thing as motivation. It is the question of value. While this […]

One may or may not be shocked to learn that I still have friends who call themselves anarchists. Not of the Molotov cocktail variety, but rather of the Murray Rothbard sort. Libertarians who take their love of liberty to the ultimate extreme and say the State ought not exist and should instead be replaced by […]

Freedom of speech is axiomatic to most Americans. They reflexively say they support it whether they actually believe they do or not. It is sort of understood, as a cultural matter, that there are few ways to more rapidly make a pariah of oneself than to renounce this central feature of the American psyche. Nobody […]

Today being Memorial Day, it might be fitting to speak a bit about military service. Of course, the martial character of human conflict emerges elsewhere besides the military, and perhaps it would be still more fitting to speak in such a broader generality. There exists no shortage of bold men who will not be hailed […]

Here at SurrealPolitiks, when speaking of power, there is a well reasoned tendency to speak of matters pertaining to electoral victory. This on account of the fact that the State is the ultimate arbiter of disputes, and its capacity to use force without repercussion renders State power the supreme means of imposing one’s will upon […]

New Hampshire, wherein I presently reside, is home to a political migration movement known as the Free State Project. Many years ago, in what could fairly be described as another life, that project was why I moved to this place. It seemed at the time a viable strategy for accomplishing a worthwhile goal, and though […]

Well, it’s happened again. Another “Hispanic White Supremacist” has killed a bunch of people and of course this means we have to give up our guns to the people who want to open the borders and put the former President in prison. Were this theme not so familiar, we might find ourselves asking if there […]

Let us begin in the Realpolitik vein by trying to determine if the following story is purity spiraling stupidity, or straightforward corruption. I was shocked this morning to read a story in Revolver News about pro-life groups turning on Donald Trump. If you listened to SurrealPolitiks Episode 1, you’ll recall I spent some time talking […]

I recently took some amusement at Marjorie Taylor Greene’s 60 minutes interview, in which she called the Democrat Party pedophiles. Leslie Stahl feigned bewilderment, as if this was the most outrageous thing a person could say, and stated, without evidence, that Greene had no evidence of this. Greene responded, in essence, by saying that pushing […]

Today has been a lot of fun, and I’m looking forward to speaking with you tonight. I’ll tease that I have a very exciting announcement, but I can’t make this public just yet. I’ll tell you more when we meet at 9:30pm Eastern for the live members only video chat, and I’ve got a very […]
