Typically, unless congressmen identify as small-L libertarians(ie: Jared Polis, Rand Paul, Thomas Massie, Justin Amash) they are tyrants in all areas where they are effective, and ineffectual in all areas

Ironically, you couldn't be more wrong. Let me try to flesh out the magic8ball bot's response. "Dominance of government institutions by sociopaths, and their destruction of democratic

Nice graphic of Zuck. Reminds me of the "strigoi"(who have vertical pupils that blink separately from the human eye) created by Guillermo del Toro for his vampire series, "The Strain."

Thank you, kindly! ...I wrote it. :) I greatly appreciate everyone talking about "jury nullification of law." ("Jury nullification" is better called "jury independence" so

Our part:

Indeed, it's about education: "Vices are not Crimes" "Surviving Voir Dire"

This was great. ;) Thanks. A note on "conformity" related to the second sample set: ...and the still worse psychological construct of "Obedience to (false) Authority"

I don't know anyone on this thread. I was commenting about one post from cryptosenpai. My focus here is simply to urge people away from the pointless mire of "political fatalism." Humans will

"The ONLY people who WANT to play politics are people who crave power!" --Untrue. Frederick Douglass played politics. Henry David Thoreau played politics. Lysander Spooner played politics. Sure,

I appreciate your impatience with the flaws of the Kokesh campaign. Two things strike me as likely, though I cannot say for sure: Your past efforts at supporting a viable candidate gave you a taste of

I would like to talk with you a bit, and perhaps put you on a friend's podcast. You have a great many of the right ideas. Have you read Sheriff Mack's book, "The County Sheriff, America's Last Great

I strongly agree. I am a free speech absolutist. So, it makes me sad to hear that. ...Any "flagging" of anyone is the mark of a crippled "unfree speech" forum that doesn't deserve to

Politics is indeed a swamp, but it's primarily a swamp because "good people don't get involved." Every single thing that you say that contributes to that fact is one more nail in our grand-children's

Change Agent:

This is the English translation from Google Translate. It does a pretty bad job, as you can see. It's better than nothing, but pretty shallow (As the Atlantic points out, here: ). The final sentence, when

Is it your position that "imaging" and "spin" should be run past every donor? (Then the police state only needs to donate to Kokesh to be informed of his plans, and pre-empt them.)

This kind of thinking 1) is usually not true or absolute. 2) encourages libertarians to "not donate money" ...the default action. It's hard to get people to confront the government. The government

If you can post something like this without indicating what type of politician the person was (a Ron Paul? A John Lilburne? A Frederick Douglass? A Lysander Spooner? A Thomas Massie? A Thomas Paine? Pursuing

Your story's really vague. Maybe your friend was a pure sociopath, like most power-seeking politicians. Maybe you're 100% full of shit, and think every libertarian has a duty to lose, if he's "a real

Let's say Kokesh is a fool who wastes LP donor dollars. Does he waste them more than Bill Weld, or a totalitarian shitbag like Bob Barr? Does he waste them more than Bill Redpath or Nick Sarwark? ...You
