Every problem in the Middle East and every war we’ve fought in the past 60 years are all about one thing - the occupation. It’s the cancer that’s causing all these problems. People are never going to accept the Israelis brutally occupying the Palestinians forever. And the Israelis are never going to let them go because they’re vicious. They don’t want peace, they want more land. And they’re dragging the world through the mud to get what they want. And mainstream media is their evil henchmen who never talk about the occupation and hide all of Israel’s crimes - and aggressively bully anyone who dares to point them out. The propaganda they’ve done is historic. Israel couldn’t have done all of these war crimes and continued the occupation without their partners in crime - American media.

In case you wonder what's up with them, all these idiot Libertarian accounts ("Comic" Dave Smith, Tom Woods, Libertarian Party) are huge devotees of noted Jew-hater Hans-Hermann Hoppe who believed Marx was correct about everything and could be retooled into a Libertarian by reorienting his whole awful program around Austrian economics (which requires and forwards economic liberty, hilariously enough). Javier Milei, who is a real libertarian and not a Marxist-infected idiot, recently kicked Hoppe out and called him a libertidiot, which has these guys all worked up and on the attack.

One structural reason you find so many Jew-hating, isolationist libertarians is that libertarianism is a thin theory. It basically says: coercion is wrong except in self-defense—and not much else. It doesn’t tell you how to think about the rest of the sociopolitical world. That’s left up to you. So libertarianism isn’t the cause of the ethical failures we see among today’s Groyper libertarians. But it leaves plenty of room for those failures. And many have taken it. That said, the deeper ideas behind libertarianism do have broader implications—once you actually understand them. In particular, utilitarian defenses of libertarianism hinge on appreciating the power of decentralization. The free market isn’t just morally permitted—it’s astonishingly productive, precisely because it enables positive-sum cooperation at scale. And once you internalize that lesson, it doesn’t stay confined to domestic policy. Take foreign policy. A libertarian could, in principle, advocate total isolation—everyone on self-sufficient farms, no interaction, no entanglements. That’s technically consistent with the non-aggression principle. But it completely misses one of the strongest arguments for libertarianism: that free exchange and cooperation are what make societies flourish. That same logic applies across nations. Isolationism rejects the enormous positive-sum gains available through international cooperation. And some of that cooperation may include the use of force—when it functions to dismantle tyranny and enable freer systems to emerge. In this episode, I lay out a more complete framework: still libertarian in spirit, but grounded in a deeper understanding of decentralization, cooperation, and the conditions under which force can be part of a positive-sum world.
