A year later and I’m still not sure where ideologically this site falls under. It’s not quite libertarianism, it’s not really mainstream-conservatism, and it’s not fully neo reaction (NRx)…it some amalgamation. I find myself agreeing with NRx on anti-egalitarianism, anti-democracy, anti-SWJ, and biological realism, but I am pro-modernity. And I tend to agree with the… Continue reading What is this site about?

Is Greece the first libertarian state?
EU-Greece Talks on Bailout Break Down, Setting Up Showdown When debating libertarianism, critics and skeptics sometimes ask: Why isn’t there a libertarian state? Greece could be the closest thing to a libertarian state. You look at how the leadership as well as the citizens, emboldened by recent events, have defiantly given Germany (and the rest… Continue reading Is Greece the first libertarian state?
We’re All Becoming Economists, Scientists, and Objectivists

I remember, as recently just a decade ago, it was mostly economists and finance guys who discussed economics, but now it’s pretty much every 20-something who is an armchair economist.

Many of today’s smart young people, who grew up on Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman (and maybe hayack and Rothbard, although being anti-fed is anti-wealth in my opinion. Fed policy such as QE and low interest rates, while unpopular with some on the right, does help… Continue reading Atheist Conservatism and the Dark Enlightenment
