Liberty, Hayek wrote, is "as much the effect as the cause of the institutions we build."

Hayek warned of new developments "that gradually undermine and destroy the spirit that sustains [liberty]."

Appealing to F. A. Hayek’s analogy of wings in "The Fatal Conceit," Sarah Katherine Sisk and Daniel Klein reflect on the culture and institutions that have given societies spiritual “lift” and on whether those cultural “wings” are atrophying. Read the new essay here: https://t.co/zn50NwzvOc

why has everything gotten worse quality and uglier?

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

I hadn’t seen this. Apparently it’s real. Kentanji Jackson really put “wait for it” in a legal opinion. I believe this is the same opinion where she dropped “full stop.” We are just months away from Jackson using “lmao” and a laughing face emoji in an official legal document.

"The response to COVID-19 should be remembered as a textbook example of how powerful government bureaucracies and aligned institutions can shape—and suppress—narratives to protect their own interests."

When I was in high school, I dreamed of a world where people wanted to spend all day arguing about philosophy, politics, and economics.

Now we're here, and I was wrong.

Wrong!

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Wait did she really use the phrase “understood the assignment” in a Supreme Court decision? God help us. We have retarded women using TikTok lingo on the Supreme Court. Literally something out of Idiocracy. We are doomed.

The annual budget of the United States government is 7 trillion. By the government's own accounting, upwards of $500 billion of that is pure fraud. If you're not angry about this, you're a fool.

@TradAdvocate Okay what

[HealthRanger @HealthRanger]

The site https://t.co/9tOj5Eqnbs has a map showing all the Flock cameras (with license plate readers) near you. Over 100,000 Flock devices already registered. Mass surveillance is under way. Spread the word and oppose Flock cameras. They need to be outlawed. This is a private company monitoring vehicles and selling all the data to the government and various corporations, in total violation of the Fourth Amendment.

It's easy to bully people into supporting laws like this, because no one wants to look like they're defending child abusers. But a policy can sound righteous and still be useless, unconstitutional, or even counterproductive. Forcing priests to report confessions may seem "tough on abuse," but that doesn't mean it protects children or catches predators.

This law won't catch predators. It just lets the state police the Church. You break the seal, catch almost no one, and turn a sacrament into one more thing the government monitors—one more place it can wedge itself between Catholics and the Church.

Under Catholic doctrine, “breaking the seal” of confession is one of the worst offenses a priest can commit. Yet survivors of clerical abuse say the confessional can be a place for uncovering crimes that would otherwise go undetected https://t.co/oPa4rvcsOe

[Sarah Katherine E. Sisk @SKSisk76]

And the priests abusing children? You think they're going to confess and report themselves? They won't. Same as any abuser. They're caught by victims and lawsuits, never by the seal. Breaking it changes nothing.
