USA: We started out poor, but we were free, so that made us rich, but we sought other things, gradually we traded our freedom away, for power and security, but they didn't stay, so that will make us poor again, but as you will see, we will become poor again, but no longer free.

@RonPaul IMO, the largest problem with Trump is that he wants to make the system work, and you can indeed clean up a corrupt system for awhile. But in the end, the problem isn't an ineffective system, but that the system just should not be doing most of what it's doing.

Despite candidate Trump's campaign promises, the financial status of the federal government continues to spiral downwards. And, as always, more foreign wars have been chosen in lieu of taking care of America. The debt cannot be ignored. Federal entitlements for the American people and the foreign wars cannot continue to coexist. One has to go, and it should be the foreign wars. This should be done before the economic pain becomes unbearable. That time is approaching very quickly. Watch @RonPaul & @ChrisRossini below:

@jimiuorio There was this lady at a state fair booth that got arrested for putting whitening strips on peoples teeth, because she didn't have a 7 yr dental degree. Seriously? This kind of crap needs to stop.

Hot take..You should be able to be a lawyer or a doctor WITHOUT going to a formal school for those things…if we have comprehensive exams and a transparent rating system why should we care how the skills were learned…thoughts?

@Geiger_Capital Sounds unconstitutional, not that that's ever stopped them before.

The California wealth tax is not on income… It’s 5% of your net worth. It’s state seizure of private assets. This is now on the ballot and likely to pass. Realize where we are.

@diditcuzican @LPNH True, the left would almost certainly use this to push for more votes for women, blacks, the poor, gays, and trans. To work long term, people would have to clearly understand the justifications for why they get more votes.

@rainyoutset @LPNH one of the issues I see is this compromise only sets a precedent that people can have more of the vote than others which depending on which Team™ has control will just use to buff up their votes and then set into place a forever "democracy" of one side.

We didn't ask for a democracy. We're unfortunately trapped in a system where a 75IQ retard on welfare gets as much say as a working father who maintains his community. Libertarians have to meet the world as it is.

@wydAriaX Where are the kids?

Unmarried people think marriage is fun and enjoyable. But this is a woman's life after marriage 😭

@CodyLibolt Capital derives from the root word used for cattle. That's not a coincidence, it's because Europe was hard to govern under a single authority. Any time the cattle farmers had their property rights disrespected, they could migrate off to more friendly jurisdictions.

@YourAnonNews It's not the greedy billionaires, it the assholes who think govt regulations should have control in health care. Now they want to double down being assholes, and give govt 100% control.

The USA has been left behind because they kneeled to the billionaire class. They don't give a fuck about you.

@jackvlloyd @jackunheard End the public schools. We need the separation of education and state.

@jackunheard Ending the brainwashing from public school.

How do we end the left-wing violence?

@APompliano Consider this the punishment you get for letting the US government fuck with the health care system regulations ...

This chart makes it seem like the United States is an outlier, but I get suspicious when I see “adjusted for inflation and price differences between countries.” Do we think this data set is accurate?

@RepEliCrane Consider this the punishment you get for not respecting the separation of education and state.

Can anyone justify this?

@esrtweet @MichaelFKane Most Christians have it as their core philosophy that people have free will, and that God loves us. That makes the extremes of communism impossible, though they can still be violent when paired with government authority. But, that's they case with all government.

You've missed the deeper connection. Marxism occupies the same psychological receptors as Christianity. It's a faith-based monotheism that disguises itself as a non-religion by disclaiming any belief in the supernatural. But that is, in fact, a disguise. And when monotheism stops being the frame through which you view religion (a liberation that even Western skeptics and atheists seldom achieve) you realize that the differences between Christianity and Marxism are quite superficial. That's why Marxism is so effective "parasitizing" Christianity. Because between those two systems, the mythology is different, but the psychology of belief is identical.

Two things in be true at once. 1. Marxism is a fundamentally secular atheist metanarrative. 2. Due to Marxism's roots in a culturally Christian Europe, it is uniquely adept at parasitizing Christianity. More Christians need to be aware of the vulnerability and how Marxism can exploit and warp our sense of justice and mercy for it's own ends.

@ThePholosopherX @TeamYouTube We're coming into the congressional election season, that's what's going on.

Wow. So YouTube claims my content isn't authentic despite the overwhelming majority of my videos being videos of myself on camera and my own music recorded live in a studio. @TeamYouTube I've been a content creator with you for over a decade. What's going on right now?

@LPNH @EricBrakey @LPNational Can you get the state to require pay in a gold backed currency?

@EricBrakey @LPNational The only strategy for liberty that is working in America is the Free State movement. Some Libertarians in other states are really bitter about that. It's much more comfortable to blame us for their failures than recognize the truth.

There is a lot of talk about @LPNational disaffiliating @LPNH at the upcoming National LP Convention. This would be a foolish move. It would amount to nothing but a virtue signal. The same people will show up for the organizing of the new affiliate and win again — just as they have for several cycles now. There are many tribes in the liberty movement of NH. If you don’t want this particular one running LPNH, then you should move to New Hampshire, organize your Liberty tribe, and take it from them at the next state convention. And if you are not willing to do that and you still don’t like what they say, then ignore them and build something of your own where you are to express liberty in the world how you want it. Disaffiliation is a waste of time and a waste of energy. Do something productive and meaningful. You only have one life to advance liberty.

@KarolineGosling Unfortunately, there was probably no avoiding it. They would protest nonstop to infinity if we didn't. The best solution probably isn't to take away their votes, but to give private sector workers who are net taxpayers, two votes.

It's pretty obvious at this point, that if you took the female vote away, most of the worlds problems would not be problems much longer. I used to think allowing women to vote was a good thing. But now, I know: Female voting rights were most likely, a mistake. It destroyed Western society, made women unhappier, and made men feel and be treated like they are unwanted.

@EricBrakey @jeremykauffman Some go for "philosophical purity" so they can come off like they are better than everyone else, others just want to be edge lords and act like rebels, but don't really care about liberty much otherwise.

I learned early in my activism that there are two kinds of libertarians: 1. Those who want to make liberty win. 2. Those who want to lose gloriously. You see them in the kinds of battles they choose to fight. Some only pick battles that can never be won. Losing is safe. Winning is dangerous. When you win, you take on responsibility for what comes next and you will be judged upon the results. When you lose, you can be forever on the outside throwing stones — never responsible for anything that happens — and therefore always right that your imagined alternative would have been better.

Libertarianism is when you lose. The more you lose, the more libertarian you are.

@MMatt14 It had serious security issues that weren't getting fixed.

Flash disappeared overnight as browsers and sites simply dropped support because Apple and Google saw it as a threat to their business. That's why they also sabotaged HTML5 and kept webapps from becoming the new standard.

@brockpierson I'd promote seasteading. It has unique overlap with his mars ambitions.

If you had 2 minutes to talk with Elon Musk What would you say or ask him?

@Noahpinion Bulkshit. They say they are against power structures, but infinite govt power is always the last to be dismantled. As in they are useful idiots.

Europeans would understand American politics better if they understood that the American left is intellectually descended from anarchism, not from communism.

@valdemaralt TBH it's more like fascism. Whenever socialist economies fail, they decide to allow you to keep your property as long as it serves the glory of the state above all else. The govt still controls everything though.

Коммунисты, если вы действительно считаете, что в Китае социализм, несмотря на то, что там овердохуя миллиардеров-буржуев, которые эксплуатируют наемных рабочих и присваивают себе прибавочную стоимость, то я не особо против такого социализма. Пусть все ваши социализмы будут такими (т.е. с пиздатыми условиями для бизнеса, высочайшим уровнем неравенства и соц-поддержкой, меньшей, чем во всей Европе)
