“Going to the federal government to convince the federal government to limit its own power? That’s not just bad strategy and a lost cause. It’s dangerous to the Constitution and liberty. James Madison gave us the answer – a blueprint for beating the feds without relying on the feds to magically do what they never do – limit their own power. All backed up by the ultimate safeguard for freedom: a highly armed and highly trained general population ready to protect their own constitution and their own liberty against all enemies, foreign or domestic.” (10/08/26)

“On October 1, the Libertarian National Committee filed a 25 page lawsuit against its former Chair Angela McArdle and her domestic partner, Austin Padgett, seeking monetary relief between $250,000 and $1,000,000. … A legal petition is of course allegations and not a not a conviction or a legal finding. McArdle and Padgett haven’t answered yet. Watch for a motion to dismiss, then the process of discovery where the LNC likely attempts to get access to bank statements.” (10/08/26)

“If you pay attention to the MAGA New Right, you will notice a pattern whereby their premier thinkers often wax allegorical about the liberal order in terms that echo Plato’s image of the cave. The names they confer upon liberal democracy are varied and motley: We hear of the ‘administrative state’ and the ‘managerial elite,’ the Cathedral, Longhouse, Gynocracy, and Davoisie. Postliberals like Patrick Deneen and Adrian Vermeule speak of ‘Liberalocracy’ and ‘Sacramental Liberalism’; others of the ‘Negative World’ or simply the ‘Regime.’ But from these various right-wing factions, you will hear a chorus of red-pilled agreement: The liberal-democratic way of life is emasculating and unholy, hypocritical, socially corrosive, and unstable. Perhaps above all else, it is dishonest: ‘They are lying hypocrites!’ the chorus exclaims. Into this counter-revolutionary fray waltzes the political theorist Alexandre Lefebvre, with his wonderfully unconventional book, Liberalism as a Way of Life.” (10/08/26)

“I never asked to know what a dismembered child looks like. Israel imposed that knowledge upon me. I never wanted to know what it looks like when military explosives blow an infant’s head off. I only know it because Israel forced me to know it. The reason the Gaza holocaust hit westerners so hard is because it punched through the wall of our shitbrained western supremacist narcissism and our vapid mainstream culture and shook us violently awake to something real and terrifying. All of a sudden the idea that our bombs are killing people in the middle east was no longer a vague abstraction sitting in the periphery of our awareness.” (10/08/26)
