Can you point to a specific time when these ideas clicked? Or did it just happen gradually after so many discussions with Bitcoiners et al

No specific time. This is after 100's of interviews with libertarians, conservatives, progressives and trying to consider how you make things better.

I think Libertarians are morally right but their ideas don't seem to gain traction enough to make a difference. Mike Brock pointed me in the direction of Otto von Bismarck - “Politics is the art of the possible, the attainable — the art of the next best.” which was the basis of the argument I wanted to put together.

"we the people" want free stuff

I listened to your recent interview with him, but had to stop halfway through when he kept interrupting you with “f’ing this, f’ing that”.

I agree with the sentiment of the quote. But my sense was a lot of Mike’s arguments against libertarianism can be boiled down to “who will build the roads?”

I don't think those were his arguments, I think they were more left wing ideology and fear of a Trump administration.

There were sections where he was arguing against there being widespread corruption in govt, and against “draining the swamp”. I think he also directly critiqued libertarianism at some point.
