Five Objections Libertarians Have Answered
It’s no secret that the emerging “New Right” is radically opposed to libertarianism. A glance at their commentators in alternative conservative media, the pronouncements of popular “Anon” accounts, or the recent chorus of prominent voices attacking Massie reveals a growing disdain for libertarian ideas.
Two Explanations for Cracker Barrel’s Attempted Rebrand
Last month, Cracker Barrel unveiled the extent of their rebrand, or, more accurately, the sterilization of everything that people loved about them. The sterilization saw the removal of “Old Country Store” from their branding, the excision of cool old-timey decorations from their restaurants, and the cleansing of the innocent old man from their logo. This resulted in a great Twitter revolt, a sudden plummet in their stock price, and general outrage reaching beyond Cracker Barrel.

Reintroducing the Levellers
Independence Day in America is often remembered with a simplified narrative: British tyranny provoked a revolt in the colonies, culminating in American independence. This account emphasizes the Revolution itself, buttressed by many hagiographies (and many revisionist hamartographies). However, there are libertarian ideological roots underlying the American Revolution which extend further back, brought over by early English settlers.
The Origins of FDR’s Teutonophobia
Federal Spending in 2025 Is on Track to be the Highest Ever 2025-04-01 For the first five months of the 2025 fiscal year, federal spending is coming in at the highest level ever. This is true even when we adjust for CPI inflation. This largely reflects Biden-era spending since the current fiscal year began during October 2024, during the Biden administration. In 2025 dollars, federal spending for the current fiscal year so far has totaled 3.039 trillion dollars.

The Origins of FDR’s Teutonophobia
If you ask any American libertarian who the worst presidents of all time were, you are likely to receive the same answers, though in different order. Abraham Lincoln invaded the South and led the greatest slaughter of Americans in history, including targeted attacks against civilians. Woodrow Wilson created the Fed and got us into World War I. Franklin Roosevelt established the New Deal, bankrolled the Soviet Union, caused the Cold War, and staffed his administration with communists. Lyndon B.

The Problem with Pronatalism
Trump Must Cut Millions of Tax-Funded “Private” Jobs 2025-02-17 Three weeks ago, the Trump administration sent out an order to the executive branch calling for federal agencies to “temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance” that could conflict with President Donald Trump’s agenda.
The Purpose of Production and the Economy: A Criticism of Pronatalist Economics
One of the main draws of the Austrian School of economics, at least for me, is that all its insights are grounded in real happenings; the school’s entire body of economic literature is meant to explain tangible things that actually happen.
The Decline of the Pro-Life Movement
With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and with the sidelining of anti-abortion policies by the GOP in favor of expanding child tax credits and other such economic interventions, one might be wondering what on earth has happened to the pro-life movement? Ever since the 1980 election and the Reagan movement, over four decades of political relevance, they have never been sidelined by the GOP until now.

Looking Back at the Crossroads: Liberty or Socialism
Ludwig von Mises begins his book Bureaucracy by declaring that the main issue facing the West in his time was whether man should surrender his liberty to the “gigantic apparatus of compulsion and coercion, the socialist state.” He rephrases: “Should [man] be deprived of his most precious privilege to choose means and ends and to shape his own life?” This question is imminently pressing in the modern day as well, save that we in the West, eight decades later, are teetering on the precipice of...

Public Goods Viewed through Entrepreneurship | Ryan Turnipseed
Public goods, in mainstream economic theory, are goods that are nonrivalrous, where one person using a good does not preclude anyone else’s capacity to do the same, and nonexcludable, where owners of the public goods are generally unable to restrict anyone’s access to the good. Commonly touted examples include public lighting, like streetlights, radio, firework shows, military defenses, and flood defenses. To the mainstream, public goods present an economic and social problem.

Governments Are Using Intimidation To Regulate Independent Journalists on the Decentralized Internet
In the last century, states have had great control over channels of media. In most of the West, lobbying groups and cartels working with “liberal” and “democratic” governments regulated who could broadcast while governments, with their endless pools of money and political force, competed alongside private or foreign establishments. South Africa banned television entirely, and then, after legalizing it in the ’70s, the industry was still controlled by the state.

Threats Against the State: Anarcho-Tyranny, Murder, and Legitimacy
On August 9, the Federal Bureau of Investigation killed Craig Robertson, a seventy-four-year-old Utah man, during a raid on his home. The man had posted numerous online threats, saying he wanted several state officials dead and had the means to make that happen. The authorities took his declarations at face value, although he was a near octogenarian dependent upon a cane to walk and was described as being “frail of health” by his neighbors. Something is off and for a variety of reasons.

Wokeness, Managerialism, and Entrepreneurship

Keeping Tradition Alive
Recently, I published several critiques of my church’s new catechism on Twitter. This church, the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, is an old denomination going back 176 years and has seen many changes since. This new catechism would have furthered these changes, capitulating to the Satanic framing of the modern world, but thanks to a combined effort of laymen and clergy, this catechism has been temporarily withdrawn and will be subjected to review.
