Monday Mashup
I’m going to try to get a webpage up for my upcoming novel Trade War, which you can read about on my fiction page.
Roderick Long recently described how statists can argue against libertarians.
If they advocate the abolition of some government program from which they personally benefit, call them hypocrites.
If they advocate the abolition of some government program from which they don’t personally benefit, call them selfish.
A statist could also say they are too young or too old-fashioned to understand the world today.
I came across a cool little zine, Politicians Love Gun Control: Reframing the Debate Around Gun Ownership. I think it overemphasizes racism, but that is much better than ignoring the racial undertones in much advocacy for and against disarmament laws (long story short and muddled: the political establishment and many adherents of both sides want to enforce social control by keeping guns away from the poor and/or people of color). It also does not mention well-known (but of course outside the establishment) gun freedom folks like Jews For the Preservation of Firearms Ownership or free market libertarians like L. Neil Smith. It’s definitely worth a read though.
Today’s metal is two badass songs from Nevermore, one of which has a cool video.
