I don’t know a lot, but from the very little exposure I have they seem to spend too much time focusing on a theoretical world empire and world government and not enough time focusing on the actual empire headquartered in Washington DC.
It should rain for the next couple days, hopefully that cools things off a bit.
Not a good take.

As a political philosophy, libertarianism says nothing about respecting others' views and lifestyles -- let alone celebrate and cherish stupidities and absurdities. It certainly doesn't prescribe us to live and let live.
It says we MAY NOT USE VIOLENCE (= esp STATE coercion) to enforce beliefs we may have onto others.
It doesn't say I have to be nice. It doesn't implore me to be compassionate. It doesn't mean I have to respect and allow into my home dispicable and degenerate shit.
I can insult you all I want. I can refuse to engage with you because you're ugly, vegan, "autistic," or believe that Bitcoin is compatible with leftism. I can ridicule your pathetic ideas or lifestyle, in public or in private. I can tell nostr:npub1xapjgsushef5wwn78vac6pxuaqlke9g5hqdfjlanky3uquh0nauqx0cnde off for thoroughly misunderstanding what libertarian means or what its philosophy or ethics prescribes, or nostr:npub15dnln6cukw3yrflnv3hnrntdt9amh0uw466u6tns05ymqp3nal4qzz3lfc who certainly should know better.
Libertarianism is a non-smart contract: it asks about physical violence, initiation of force, and state power. Nothing more.
The rest-- religion, etiquette, values, behavior -- it relegates to a social level.
Living in harmony with others doesn't mean to embrace any odd retarded thing they do or say. it means to NOT throw them in jail for it

Bitcoin, or any hard money, inherently aligns with Sowell’s constrained vision because it is itself a constraint.
Anyone holding to the unconstrained vision while simultaneously supporting and promoting Bitcoin will eventually run into a situation where the contradiction becomes apparent. It will be interesting to see how they respond.
I bet nostr:npub1e2rd2k45ym2jmctnysfadxumrvrr57vqj69ck6trt2y62c40r0kqs9lx8t can make some ceramic earrings. I think she has some bitcoin necklace pendants that could be repurposed.

It’s been such a blessing to see nostr:npub1jrx2fk666k5nt8vgak9xwyxlgcwh8fl9rvpwvvcpdthuqkcnptrqdfhtaq being a father! He’s even more amazing than I ever knew. Sophia and I are so lucky!
Happy first Father’s Day, my love!

Who do you think it will be?
I never respected you. To respect someone you have to know them, and I do not in any real sense. I gleaned some valuable information at times from things you have said but that's different from respect.
However, seeing how someone behaves towards others when there's no consequences for their behavior is a great window into what kind of person they are.
Take a look in that window, see what's reflected. Are you sure that's the kind of person you want to be?
In what possible delusional interpretation of reality could you think this was the appropriate way to insert yourself into this conversation? The sickness of character would make anyone look healthy.
If you’re interested in having the LP chair who orchestrated everything surrounding this announcement on your show I can put you in touch.
I think I know about one of these examples, not so sure about the other one.

If this actually ends with a #freeross then it was worth all the work. We should all be extremely skeptical of any politicians promise but at least the promise is on the record. Baby steps.
Still far behind George W. Bush. What was done in 2001-2008 between the terror wars and the bailouts/zero interest rates have set the stage for every horrible thing that’s happened since, including normalizing the monetary policy that made the lockdowns possible.
Were there massive thefts as a result of the US regime’s wars in the Middle East?Absolutely.
However I seriously question these numbers. The entire market cap of gold is around $16 trillion. Let’s be exceedingly generous and say that 1/4 of that was stolen.
That would still leave $46 trillion left of the claimed number that was stolen in Iraq. The worldwide annual production of oil is ~$2 trillion. Again let’s be exceedingly generous and say 1/4 of that was stolen too. At that rate of theft, you’d still need 96 years to completely close the remaining gap to get to those claimed numbers. Given that the US invaded Iraq in 2003 then they’ve just passed 20% of the way there.
Even assuming the entire $16T market cap of gold was stolen and the entire $2T worldwide annual production of crude oil was stolen, that would still take 17 years to add up to $50 trillion. It would’ve taken from 2003 to 2020 where there was absolutely zero gold anywhere and absolutely zero gasoline and other petroleum products. We would have noticed that one.
This is besides the fact that if Iraq had $50 trillion dollars in wealth in 2003 they’d have certainly been able to fund a military that would’ve been a far more serious threat in the conventional sense to the invading US forces. This also clearly did not happen.
Yes you should question the regime and its horrific policies. Yes you should assume that those operating the regime are acting out of bad faith and for personal gain. However when you throw out claims that are so out of line with anything that is even close to plausible reality you end up hurting your case far more than you help, as you seem like a crackpot to anyone with the patience to spend 5 minutes using a search engine.
