The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. Bertrand Russell One thing that being a free-stater and witnessing libertarians running and winning in politics has convinced me of is that a large reason that libertarians haven’t had any success…

Modern American tactical training is insufficient for defeating a modern tactical enemy, and how to fix that.
Part 1: Introduction Howdy everybody, I’m going to try this new idea where I introduce content in both text and video form. People can either read it on my website, JobDestroyer.xyz, or watch it on Odysee. I might even post it to YouTube occasionally but I really don’t like YouTube so I might not even…
Why I don’t support secession.
A lot of people I really like happen to be fans of secession movements. One that comes to mind is Robert Murphy. I’m a big fan of his podcast, and he usually has smart takes on cultural trends, economics, and ethics. I especially enjoy his 5 part series on the World Economic Forum. He also…
Recently learned about the “Rockwell Rule”. Never, ever, ever repeat the CIA’s talking points in regard to a regime they wish to overthrow.
Credit to someone on this subreddit whose username escapes me for pointing me toward this, but I had always intuitively understood that this is a good idea, but didn’t know there was a name for it. Apparently, it’s the Rockwell Rule. As Daniel McAdams put it in a Mises.org interview: It’s very simply, never, ever, ever…
What is true is true regardless of who says it, what is wrong is wrong regardless of who says it. In this thread, I apply that rationale to Bin Laden’s “Letter to America”, a critique. One of those annoying “Point-by-point refutations”, if you will…
Bin Laden blew up the WTC with planes, killing over 3000 people, most of whom had no idea who in the hell he was. To explain his actions to the American public, he wrote an open letter to America. The full text can be found here, and it is an interesting read for any libertarian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/nov/24/theobserver…
20 years of propaganda. What does 20 years of propaganda do to a generation?
Many define the border between “Zoomer” and “Millenial” to be the age at which you are capable of remembering the 9/11 terrorist attacks. I’d be a millenial on the grounds that I definitely do, and can attest to the fact that I remember exactly where I was and what I did the rest of the…
Congratulations, person reading this. Yes, you specifically. You’re an anti-vaxxer now. But, are you a libertarian?
(Originally posted for /r/GoldAndBlack mid-2021) Situation: The state is forcing private businesses to engage in discriminatory actions, threatening to close their businesses or strip their licenses if they serve those who are “Unvaccinated” Response from some “Libertarians”: It’s a PRIVATE BUSINESS! They can do what they want! This is how fascism survives and thrives, and…
Mere disagreement isn’t opposition.
“I think people should wear masks, but I oppose mandates” “I think people should social distance, but I oppose mandates” “I think people should get the vaccine, but I oppose mandates” How many people here are of this mind? Unfortunately, you’ve made a mistake in your understanding of how the world works. Your thoughts are…
20 years later, America’s terror wars are coming home again.
(Originally published on /r/GoldAndBlack in reference to employee vaccine mandates, which were later defeated handily by the masses just saying “no”.) 20 years ago today, America’s terror wars came home. 3,000 Americans were killed. That terrorism occurred as a direct result of American intervention in the middle-east. Lots of people will remind us all that…
