The true enemy of modern libertarians isn’t the state. It’s their neighbors. I got quite the response to my “Fuck You, I Got Mine” article. A lot of people on the Right really hate it when you defend property taxes. Many of the responses were ill-informed,…
Charlie Kirk’s assassination in Utah should prompt an examination of the large number of Mormons in the Bureau, their leadership, and their attachments. Back in 2002 I briefly lived in Arlington, Virginia and dated a woman who worked for the FBI. She wasn’t at liberty to tell…

The global systemic transition to multipolarity is nowadays proceeding along a different trajectory than before due to recent shifts in the international system.
