"Above all else, we need to brutalise the size of the state. I mean brutalise. Like nothing that has ever been seen. A public sector bonfire that is visible from space - that is what Restore Britain would do."
This Rupert Lowe guy seems pretty based.
"What’s reality? I don’t know. When my bird was looking at my computer monitor I thought, ‘That bird has no idea what he’s looking at.’ And yet what does the bird do? Does he panic? No, he can’t really panic, he just does the best he can. Is he able to live in a world where he’s so ignorant? Well, he doesn’t really have a choice. The bird is okay even though he doesn’t understand the world. You’re that bird looking at the monitor, and you’re thinking to yourself, ‘I can figure this out.’ Maybe you have some bird ideas. Maybe that’s the best you can do."

Watching this documentary. Can any of you guys recommend me others to watch?
Been getting back into educating myself on libertarianism again recently. Few years of distraction in my life has left my mindset floating more towards a statist one just from intellectual laziness on my part and I need to fix that shit.
In 1920, the UK introduced gun control, not to stop crime but explicitly because the state was worried about the political implications of an armed population. That was the reason given by parliament at the time.
In 1941, George Orwell warned: "That rifle on the wall of the labourer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
Today, the UK is an authoritarian dystopia.
Maybe the Americans had a point.
Looking very seriously at getting a visa to work in the US then applying for a green card. Much better economy, far higher salaries, way lower taxes, and you don't need ID to use Spotify or get arrested for memes.
Recent career boost means my current profession is very high in demand so there's routes to get expedited approval and salaries are $300k+.
I really have no idea why I should stay in the UK if I have the ability to get paid a lot more and taxed a lot less for my skills elsewhere.
No guns if I just have a work visa tho :(
