Libertarians are like communists — their utopias are right around the corner if only humans behaved they way you want them to!

You should always be against government overreach. But some people are against any reach at all even at the expense of ensuring fundamental conditions for bottom up prosperity. View quoted note →

Two things can be true: 1. ICE should have used more restraint in subduing two protestors/organized political operatives they killed. Maybe follow and arrest the driver instead of killing her, not shoot the guy with the gun when he was on the ground. Use the minimum necessary force for self-defense and keeping order, and if more is used out of misunderstanding or fear, don't pretend it was good and righteous. 2. These people are idiots, jacked up on a cocktail of TDS and propaganda, doing something worthy of a Darwin award in service of protecting illegals, some of whom have committed additional crimes on US soil. Responsible leaders would tell regular citizens not to interfere with federal immigration enforcement and order the local authorities to assist the feds UNLESS there were good evidence of the feds targeting ordinary citizens on purpose and not actually doing the immigration enforcement they purport to be doing. But the leaders in Minnesota are not responsible, probably because they are implicated in a well-documented multi-billion dollar fraud, and their only play now is to flip the chess board over and cause maximum chaos and violence.

Libertarianism and communism are two sides of the same coin. That coin is denial of human nature. The solution to human prosperity at scale is balance between top down and bottom up, which means limited government, armed citizens, minimal coercion (laws, police, etc.) required to create good conditions for individual freedom and prosperity. Like pulling weeds from the garden so the desired varietals can grow. Libertarianism is like letting the garden get overrun, communism is like spraying it with Roundup.

The argument that ICE is bad because they could screw up and arrest actual citizens is the same argument as the police are bad because they could screw up and arrest innocent people. This is basically “defund the police” in different clothing.

Report Yourself To The Authorities

Custodying anti-matter, temporary enlightenment, real meaning of multi-polar world, AWFULs vs AWFUCKs

Was asking Grok AI about protons and atoms, it mentioned anti-protons, I told it I had some anti-protons to sell, and it advised me to contact the authorities. What, you can’t joke about custodying some anti-matter?

Advice to single dudes on this protocol: find a parsimonious wife. Yes, it’ll be annoying when she scolds you for ordering the steak or stresses when you are buying a new laptop after six years, but this is the problem you want to have. The opposite problem can destroy your life.

Best way to play Wordle is to give yourself only one guess and move on. Also guess the same word every day until it hits. Been using “bitch” for the last five years.

damn I think I might have lost @Oscar Liss' private key

Maybe this post will age poorly, but I feel I’ve been through the worst of the fourth turning (for me) already, that for me it’s already turning around. For normies, the worst might be yet to come.

Saylor sounding a little too much like Jack Kruse here: Still bullish on MSTR, but you can tell the price action is taking a toll on him.
