Must be pretty uncomfortable to be one of those executives who took a knee to this White House. Must be particularly worrying if you're a general counsel who oversaw what amounts to political bribes in exchange for favorable regulatory treatment. You thought this was the new order. You had to go along to get along. But now you sense it isn't so firm. And you should be afraid. When the public comes to fully understand the nature of what you did — when the word sedition stops sounding hyperbolic and starts sounding like a charge — you will have no one to blame but yourself. You betrayed your country for profit. That bill comes due.

The truth is that classical liberalism doesn’t have a materialist metaphysics. Like say right-libertarianism and Marxism. The socialist-capitalist argument is about placing material conditions as primary in a political order. Collective versus individual ownership of stuff. I think this is very confused. Marxists and libertarians therefore, both have more in common than they do with classical liberalism.

Libertarians who voted for Trump as the lesser evil might be the most politically stupid (and selfish) people on the planet.

How are the "at least Trump isn't a necon/warmonger" folks doing these days?

Look at what you accelerationist cretins have helped wrought upon the world. You will not build a bitcoin economy from the ashes. You will be forgotten.

I consider pacifism the laundering of cowardice into the domain of false virtue. It is an empty posture, dressed up as civility. I note that so many of these pacifists saw in Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, and even Donald Trump, some kind of virtue. Res ipsa loquitur.

Edward Snowden is a Putin stooge. Just so everyone knows. And his friends are agents of the Kremlin. Just so everyone knows.

The insane gaslighting from people who said Kamala Harris would start wars, and Trump would start none, who now defend this, and argue it's constituional is something that nobody's public reputation in politics should be able to recover from. I'm sorry. I don't make the rules.

This is an illegal war.

On this Illegal War

A statement of protest

Congress has not authorized this war. This must be said. No matter how virtuous one might think this cause. This is unconstitutional as fuck. I'm sorry. It is. And nobody can ever convince me that right-wing conservatives are the true constitutionalists. Fuck you. Argument over.

To the motherfuckers here who thought Kamala Harris was the neocon, I have nothing but a “fuck you” to say to you.

The people who consider me incorrigible are the very same people I consider unserious actors within the project of human civilization. There's something like a conservation law there.

They named their companies after Tolkien but should have paid closer attention to the character who clutched the ring calling it precious.

The Plot Against America, One Year Later

How a dangerous ideology was exposed to the American people — and rejected.

"Heaven must not be a kingdom, but a republic."

On the republic of Heaven

The American libertarian argument fundamentally comes down to the notion that Thomas Jefferson erred in restating Locke’s “life, liberty, and property” to the more radical “life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.” Libertarians believe they are correcting this historical error.
