By accepting the state as an inevitable reality, we undermine the power of anarchist practice and the pursuit of happiness. Social change is an ongoing process of experimentation; it is never truly utopian.

Embrace courage and live life to the fullest.

Donald Trump, the “peace president,” has the highest annualized rate of drone strikes and the highest annualized rate of civilian casualties from those strikes of any president this century. Just ask @grok.

@RealAngelaMc @LPCO Damn, you showed up, whipped, and still lost to "Democrats"?

@DrMetaMojo Principles are precisely for these times. They are mostly useless in easy times.

@dannycantalk @worst_account A little over 50% of pop. is of Arab descent. Of that, you have blacks, whites, and large Christian populations from Iraq, Syrian, and Lebanon.
Some have been here for nearly 100 years, coming over to work in the auto industry. It feels like America. Great people, food & markets

@StevenNekhaila Definitely includes the right. They may have been slow to adopt the tactics, but it's clear that they have fully embraced them now.

@TheEmoAncap You are trolling me!!!! 🤣

[Jami Van Alstine @JRV4Liberty]

@TheEmoAncap So, Nolan was wrong?

[Steven Nekhaila @StevenNekhaila]

“Hate speech” is usually just politically inconvenient speech, the kind the powerful want to muzzle to fake unity.

History gives us a warning. In Tito’s Yugoslavia, he preached “brotherhood in unity” and jailed ethnic and ideological chauvinists from all sides. It worked, for a time. Tensions stayed bottled up for decades, but never addressed. When the lid blew off, it was one of the bloodiest wars in Europe.

In America today, most of us: left, right, libertarian, center, still want the same things: peace, prosperity, a chance to flourish. But we’re drifting into radical chauvinism, each side treating the “other” as an enemy to be crushed. That’s a dangerous path.

If people believe institutions are rigged, and that political change is impossible, violence starts to look like the only option. That’s why we must keep political speech, even the uncomfortable kind, out in the open. Sunlight sanitizes. Censorship festers.

The answer isn’t silencing voices, it’s addressing tensions, reforming institutions, and proving that peaceful, political change is still possible.

Free nations survive when debate is fierce but free. They collapse when debate is forbidden.

I understand the hate against politicians and their supporters. I do. But killing our way to a place of peace has a horrendously bad and well-documented history.

Politics is downstream from culture. If you believe a culture of death will yield a congress of life, I disagree.

[LP Radical Caucus @LPRadicals]

Using violence or the threat of violence to stop speech is a horrible thing.

That’s all.

[FIRE @TheFIREorg]

BREAKING: Charlie Kirk was shot during an event at Utah Valley University today. Details of the incident are still unfolding.

Political violence is never an acceptable response to speech. Free speech allows us to settle our differences peacefully and is essential to a free and democratic society.

Our thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his family.

@TheEmoAncap I like Harry Brown's quote on this, "The government is good at one thing. It knows how to break your legs, and then hand you a crutch and say, 'See if it weren't for the government, you wouldn't be able to walk."

I think we need to start with stopping the gov from breaking legs

Libertarianism isn’t your moral babysitter.

Being a libertarian doesn't mean that you have to hold a "libertarian" answer for everything. In fact, maybe sometimes its better when we don't offer an answer at all. It exists to keep the state out of your life.

If you want moral guidance... look inward, talk to your priest, read philosophy, go scream into the woods... whatever. But don’t expect political philosophy to be your conscience.

Libertarianism isn’t supposed to make you good. It just makes you free. What you do with that freedom is your burden. Your blessing. Your choice.

It’s a system of freedom... not a goddamn life coach.

@TheEmoAncap I don't drink, smoke, or frequent the titty bars but still wondering what your issue with this is. By the way, 8 mile is jank, downtown, Mexican village, the West side and the metro area have great food scenes. Next time you come, Rin and I will host. I just volunteered him.
