Consumer Liberty & Accomplices to Aggression (14m) – Episode 296
Episode 296 has Skyler giving his commentary on the following topics: an article he wrote in September 2010 titled, “Free to Choose an Unlicensed Practitioner” and an article he wrote in July 2018 titled, “Libertarians Shouldn’t Be Accomplices of Aggression”.
It’s Not about Race, It’s about Police
A cop casually murdered a guy while his associates looked on and enabled the murder. Protests erupted, then turned into riots and looting, losing any moral high ground they may have started with.

What I’m Thinking
1. Getting people to be rational about politics is an uphill battle during the best of times. During a global hysteria, it’s hopeless. 2. Due to this doleful realization, I refrained from discussing the lockdown when it first emerged. The best course, I deemed, was to wait for readers to simmer down. 3. Since many have now simmered down, here’s what I was thinking three months ago.
Technocracy is Evil and Inhumane
Fuck the cold metallic gloved dead hand of human chess playing technocratic ghouls who want to squelch and contain and document and track and sterilize it to death.
“Liberty is good, but…”
It’s as though they are desperate to be taken seriously by government-supremacists for some reason. Maybe to be allowed a place at the table. Or for a patronizing pat on the head.
On Freedom III
Contrasting freedom to liberty is simple: liberty is the absence of physical restraint by others, freedom is the absence of mental restraint by yourself. In other words, freedom is knowing deep inside your bones that anyone attempting to violate your liberty is acting offensively criminal.
