I don’t think you can be any further away from a position than by advocating for it’s opposite. The status quo of general opinion and the positions I take are, plainly put, antithetical. Yes, I think I do qualify for the label of “radical extremist.”

Military Budget
Nobody asked but … How does the government appear to reduce the Pentagon’s budget, even when it is not? Any experienced sleight of hand artist can tell you in a millisecond. Separate the watchers’ gazes from the vulnerable behavior. Debate bringing the troops home while increasing mercenary contracts. Debate cutting wild-eyed research while sending it…
On Government Failures
I’ve heard 9/11 called “Government Failure Day.” Indeed. The government did fail on September 11th, 2001, and it failed horribly. The government is supposedly here to protect us, to keep us safe, and on 9/11, like on 4/15, 4/20, 12/7 and 12/12, it failed (not an exhaustive list). Today, 11/1, it has failed again. This time…
On Government Projects
The Obamacare website debacle is a perfect example of the sorts of inefficiencies, disasters, and boondoggles that plagues government projects again and again. Irrelevant is the good or service being produced. Government lacks the necessary incentives, knowledge, and calculation to do anything as efficiently, successfully, and worthwhile as private organizations in society. That so many…

Corporations: Incentive to Harm
Editor’s Pick. Written by Sima Qian. As left-anarchists are often quick to point out, corporations have a bloody history. During the colonial era corporate structures were some of the most effective tools of conquest, and today that legacy lives on with “security” firms like G4s, or weapons manufacturers like Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman or BAE…
