Not going to bother screenshotting it or anything, but That One rear end in a top hat I Know was screaming again about refugees (guy's Dutch, just for reference):quote:Muslims need to look at themselves in the mirror and see the world from the point of view of their victims. Instead, the West is sacrificing its culture, values, laws, pride and even self-respect. quote:Regarding refugees, the West should not take in a single one of them.  e: oh, he also linked a Paul Joseph Watson post in that opening theshim fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Jan 31, 2017 |

i got lazy and stopped doing it, just like i do with almost all my projects.  i could probably get another one going but my god you guys have no idea how much of a pain in the rear end it can be to wrangle goons into a time and place and using software half the reason the comics ep exists is because i knew i could do it with just two people besides myself.

Though, now that I think about it, I don't really have anything planned for like months after super bowl sunday besides work so uh I guess POST WHAT DAYS AND TIMES ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU IN EST IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN RECORDING AN EPISODE TALKING ABOUT SOVCITS, WHITE SUPREMACISTS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY JROD GETTING BANNED AND BEING TURNED INTO A ROBOT IN THE NEAR FUTURE TY GOD BLESS Please remember that you will need 1. Headphones to listen with. 2. A microphone capable of transmitting sound over the internet that does not produce intense pain in the listener (THIS ONE IS SUPER IMPORTANT) 3. Have Audacity installed on your computer. I guess I could try to coordinate this via Discord or something. Please share your thoughts on this as well.

She's neck deep in the movement (founded our campus Libertarian chapter, our chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy, etc) who holds a lot oof intersection a list views. I was kind of surprised to see today that she was defending Uber over their JFK airport scabbing scheme so I asked her how she felt about strikebreaking. Her dad replied, and it ends up he owns a construction company and a lot of reasons for her libertarianism just kind of clicked into place. a friend of mine used to live with one of those who tries his damnedest to organize the local burnouts  he got busted for opening a bar without a liquor license and is now a used car salesman the love of bowties really does appear to be a constant

If you're looking for a hostile reading of Ayn Rand, Adam Lee did a long series of blog posts on Atlas Shrugged: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/daylightatheism/series/atlas-shrugged/ Be sure to read the Cobra Commander Dialogues linked at the end, they're pretty great! (My attempt at a capsule summary: Cobra Commander interacts with Rand's "heroes", grows increasingly frustrated and  over their inability to even understand that they are actually the villains of the book. Also he repeatedly owns them with superior villainry.)

I like the scenes when even Cobra Commander can't process their villainy and is just like "what the gently caress". Anyway I assume Atlas Shrugged drove Caros insane and he's off robbing government hospitals and bartering for gold to buy a ticket to a seastead.

Entire culture vats of disease mined for energy, some spores sealed in hollows near every entrance to your home like an old-timey gas safe. The trouble with reparations from microbial organisms is the generation span, because just as no libertarian should be subjected to his deadbeat father's debt or pass his own debt on to his abandoned kids, microbes shouldn't be born into a culture of debt or servitude.

Not sure whether to take it as a simple deep communal understanding of libertarianism as applied to parenting, or maybe a sign that this space is too safe, that the deadbeat dad thing as a libertopian fact of life doesn't even get questioned. Just roving packs of absentee fathers doing contractor work in Mad Max RVs, half of whom have probably exchanged testicles for transplant purposes to avoid liability in case of DNA testing should they ever be tracked down by the mother or kids for overdue support.

Here's the main problem with our political situation today. Both parties are divided. On the Republican side you have the neoconservatives vs. the nationalists. This election pretty much has determined that the Nationalists are winning. On the Democrat side you have the neoliberals vs. progressives. The neoliberals are still in power but I think everyone sees the writing on the wall. The future of the Democratic Party is the progressives (or socialist democrats). The neocons and neolibs are done for. Neoliberalism may have been a good and pure ideology back in the 30s and 40s when it was trying to reverse the totalitarianism of the time, but they've become corrupt warmongers. It's time for them to go. But are we replacing it with something much worse? What happens when your country becomes dominated by a mix of Nationalism and Socialism? A Totalitarian nightmare. The future true left are the libertarians, the ones fighting for freedom both socially AND economically.

I go mostly by classically liberal principles that people should have the freedom to do what they want as long as it doesn't infringe on other peoples' freedoms. How the details of that are worked out are complex and ever changing as technology changes society, but I'm of the opinion that the government should get involved only as a last resort. I'm not an anarcho-capitalist, but I do think the NAP is a good guiding principle when you need to make decisions about cutting government budget.

And what is a "last resort"? Is health care a last resort? Because people will die needlessly in a country without UHC. Is malnutrition a last resort? There will be children who don't develop properly from malnutrition without food stamps or similar. Is education a last resort? There will be children without an education if free public education is not provided? Is pollution a last resort? Climate change? Roads? Utilities? Radio spectrum allocation? Hunting and fishing regulations that prevent population collapse and destruction of the industry? Airline safety? Seat belts?
