Conservatives want state power to force families to conform … to their values. But as soon as the state starts forcing their families to conform AGAINST their values, they will be (too late) against state power. Libertarians want the state out of your family entirely.

WHY IS THE FREE STATE PROJECT UNIQUELY SUCCESSFUL AMONG LIBERTARIAN PROJECTS? The Free State Project (FSP) is built upon the recognition that most people are not libertarians. Most people give into authoritarian impulses to use state violence against peaceful people. There is

On his way out the door, President Biden commuted the sentences of almost 2,500 Americans imprisoned for drug offenses, including many serving long prison sentences for victimless crimes. While we applaud this news, we don't forget that in the '80s, Biden was the main author

This is how the mainstream media biases you, subconsciously, constantly. We’ve all been exposed to this for decades. Curiosity and intellectual humility are the way out.

The CIA acknowledging the lab leak after lying about it for 4 yrs is exactly like the FBI acknowledging the legitimacy of Hunter Biden's laptop after lying about it for yrs They knew from the beginning. They possessed the laptop. They funded the research in Wuhan. Never forget.

All government spending is taxation. This point really needs to be hammered home. Whatever is not directly taxed is taxed in the form of inflation, as the government prints more money. Inflation is the worst tax of all, as it punishes those who are just barely making ends

Milei reduced government spending 30% and achieved a surplus in only 1 month. His popularity didn't fall, it rose. Don't tell me fiscal discipline isn't popular with general public. It's just unpopular to the powerful special interests that control DC.
