This is interesting, but I wonder about its credibility considering the author commends JD Vance, who is far from a libertarian.

It sounds like communist “reeducation camps”. I know the far-right claims to hate communism but they’re a lot alike in that they want control over people’s lives.

I watched the first 20 minutes. They sound reasonable. I don’t get why people downvote this.

At the beginning they acknowledge that Trump says a bunch of random stuff that he would like to do. Often it’s just flooding the zone with crap, but sometimes he does it. Despite this, they feel compelled to analyze the crap Trump says because that’s their job. I would rather have liberty-oriented analysis of policies that are being enacted or for libertarian policies we may be able to build support for.

This is a good basic video debunking some common misunderstandings that sound plausible but are clearly wrong if you have a basic understanding of economics. It’s not as hominem or nasty as the title suggests.

I don’t understand the point of the article. It rightly says that people in organizations sometimes self-deal, especially in government. I agree in minimizing the cost and scope of government and trying to reduce government wastee, but the article just sounds like grousing.

It seems like many libertarians wish their actions didn’t affect others, e.g. spreading disease or releasing greenhouse gases. It would be easier because then we wouldn’t have to make hard choices, we wouldn’t have to admit that people’s actions can harm others and that fact doesn’t mean we can disregard each other’s rights. Just pretending like our actions don’t have costs for others is the easy way avoiding the issues.
