In April of 2012 I moved to New Hampshire, joining hundreds of other libertarians in a political migration commonly referred to as The Free State Project. There is a corporation one might consider to be at the head of this, known as the Free State Project, herein referred to as FSP inc. Differentiating between the political…...
When people try to put together a mass political migration, it pays to be welcoming. Folks pick up their lives and make a go of it in a new place, presumably because they share the same values, and so you want to go out of your way to make them feel at home. This is done largely…...
I am exhausted. Not from writing, editing video, or doing radio. Not from relentless attacks on me and my website. Not from watching Republicans and Democrats argue over how big the next war should be. It’s not the work I do, the resistance I meet in doing it, or the stamina of my enemy that exhausts me. What…...
Recently, Center for a Stateless Society (C4SS) founder Brad Spangler confessed via Facebook to sexually abusing his daughter. A short time later, his daughter came forth with a statement of her own, confirming the validity of Spangler’s confession. Thomas L. Knapp, also of C4SS, confirmed on the comments of this blog 6 days ago that…...
As liberaltarians scrambled in the wake of the Brad Spangler incestual pedophilia scandal, to rescue his reputation and that of the Center for a Stateless Society, they did as they often do, and called for censorship. My scathing review of the incident was widely trafficked, sits above the fold on the first page of a Google…...
It came to my attention that Brad Spangler, a C4SS contributor whom I had been in conflict with some time ago to the point of Facebook blocking, confessed last night to molesting his daughter. He announced on his Facebook page that he would be turning himself into police, apparently out of concern that ASUS tech…...
One thing you almost never see me do is apologize. That’s because I’m almost never sorry about what I say or do, and I tend to reserve apologies for when I’m actually sorry. This is sort of a rare feature in humanity, as you may have noticed in life. Most people will throw out an…...
Is Anarcho-Capitalism Broken? I just saw a video titled “Anarcho-capitalism Why it’s Broken & How to Fix it“ by the YouTube channel Storm Clouds Gathering. In it, Aaron Hawkins reiterates a number of common criticisms of anarcho-capitalism, while simultaneously claiming to have done hundreds of hours of research on the subject. He makes anti-capitalist arguments…...
Jeffrey Tucker Reduces Core Libertarian Ideals To “Brutalism” In the ongoing conflict between leftist infiltrators who want to redefine libertarianism, and purists who wish to stay on message, yet another high profile libertarian has ditched principle for popularity, and condemned principled action as racist, and misogynist. Jeffrey Tucker, publisher at Laissez Faire Books, and fellow at…...
The issue of diversity in libertarianism has reached a fevered pitch over the last 6 months. I suppose this debate has been going on in the “liberty movement” for awhile, but every so often there is a flare up, and this seems to be one of those times. I’d like to think I’m partially responsible…...
