I don’t want to see libertarians and paleo-cons being at odds with one another. Elves and dwarves may have their differences, but when a Balrog is coming, they put those differences aside until that problem is solved. Though it may be true, and might bear repeating, that the dwarves dug too...

Mega-corporations may not have killed as many people as the USSR, but the corporate death toll is probably a lot higher than most people imagine. It’s not like corporations kill people by sending soldiers flying an Exxon flag. It’s American soldiers who kill and die for corporate interests. In...

If libertarians were in charge of the city of Troy, there would be no need for a Trojan horse. A Greek soldier could just go up to the gate and say “Let me in, I’m just an individual who wants to live in Troy. Oh yeah, I have the right to bear arms too, so I’ll bring my weapons and armor.” Some...

Globalism can mean a lot of things, some good and most bad, but for all practical purposes those advocating for globalism in the world today are invariably bad. Immigration is a tool to undermine national sovereignty, destroy the freedoms that libertarians espouse, and to generally oppress...

It was absolutely wrong. I think it was a mistake in this thread to conflate segregation and/or discrimination with slavery, they are entirely different.

Europe is going to pay dearly for fanatically clinging to the demented notion that they should allow anyone into their nations who want to enter, that these people are even capable of integrating, or that the native population are somehow the villains when there isn’t integration. There...

The question that arises from the Jim Crow discussion is if a community of people should be allowed to, via their ability to create laws governing their community, exclude people who they feel are outside that community? Can Whitetown say that they are a town only for white people? Can...

Libertarians do harm in even using the term “equal rights” because the idea of equality is not only absurd but dangerous. Of course, people claim it just means equal before the law or something like that, but if that is all one means, they should just say that people have rights to x, y, or z...

I think that you’ve hit the nail on the head here. This sort of outlook, this materialism, the worship of Mammon, it is the rot at the heart of what passes for conservatism in modern America. Don’t have too many kids, they’re expensive. Send the kids you have to college, they need a good job...

Paleo-cons don't necessarily object to the internet, if they don't object then there is no inherent hypocrisy in using it. I know a lot of paleo-cons, and I read their books and follow their pundits as well, and very few oppose the very idea of the internet. People can also be okay with a glass...

I follow Academic Agent and actually watched these videos before I saw a thread about them. I think that the makes some good points. I would agree that there is a problem with liberalism/libertarianism in that it too often has the same goals as the left does. I don't think that this is always...
