“[W]henever you put your faith in Big Government for any reason, sooner or later you wind up as an apologist for mass murder.”
~ Karl Hess (1970)
To be clear, I genuinely believe libertarianism is uniquely equipped to both analyze and challenge the authoritarianism of Donald Trump and MAGA.

It’s “libertarians” who’ve shown they aren’t up to the task.

When it comes to fighting hate, direct action is even more powerful than love.

"What does America First antitrust action mean in practice?"

Probably just rewarding friends and punishing enemies.

For more on why "America First antitrust" is neither pro-America nor proper antitrust, check out our latest episode of the Tech Policy Podcast:

This morning @FREOPP released my latest white paper, a study of the relationship between our growing epidemic of social isolation and poverty, and the role of civil society. Poverty leads to social isolation and social isolation makes it harder to get out of poverty freopp.org/whitepapers/...
Vicious Circles: Social Isolation and Poverty - FREOPP
The loss of social connection and associated rise in loneliness has had a host of social, cultural, economic, and civic consequences.

Redfield is a Trump appointee and known crank. If COVID was circulating in summer of 2019, the entire timeline of the pandemic would be different. Chinese authorities were not "pushing the wet market narrative," they actively covered it up.

3. Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

A great read. Covers the spectrum of emotions. Been on my list for a while, and I'm glad I was able to get to it before the film.

There are genuinely awesome people who write for Reason, which makes the very stupid people who also write there that much more frustrating!

While everyone’s on the topic of libertarians who got in bed with MAGA authoritarianism, here’s what I wrote about it, including the history of how we got here, way back in 2022. The years since have, I believe, made my worries look, if anything, understated. www.aaronrosspowell.com/3m2fgwdmc7c2a
How the Right Distorted Libertarianism - Aaron Ross Powell's Blog
Once rooted in liberalism, libertarianism's detour through the conservative movement has blunted its radical edge and commitment to principle.

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.

It was a "sideshow," I was told.
Weird. I tried to warn libertarians about Trump

This piece is such bullshit revisionism. Libertarians (including this author) overwhelmingly dropped the ball in recognizing the unique dangers Trump and a 2nd MAGA administration posed. And instead opted for sanitizing Trump’s authoritarianism and equivocating it with the dangers of “wokeness”.

Imagine being so racist that you’d rather watch a trashy pedophile perform than a Grammy winner.

It's cool that they brought Mike Tyson on to tell us to stop eating processed foods and start eating ears.

Unlike the rest of the band, Hetfield is conservative. And unlike the rest of conservatives, he knows to shut up about it.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.

Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

Bad Bunny should do the funniest thing and bring out like Willie Nelson and Metallica during the halftime show, which would be the most awesome white guy musical experience ever on live TV, and they would all miss it because they’d be too busy watching a racist p*dophile perform.

This is far from his worst. Just his least ignorable.
