Yup, me too. His videos are well-sourced. But, some people get upset because they don't like the facts in his videos.

They are smarter than facts.

It's hard to boil down 50+ hours worth of podcasts into a single post.. but..

Essentially his old view was that we had a lot of time and what we needed to focus on to have a more free society was peaceful parenting - parenting that focuses on shaping your children by providing reason, evidence and a sense of empathy in their decisions rather than molding them through violence.

But now with the immigrant crisis in Europe, and what is happening in the US with the free fall toward socialism he thinks we may end up losing the war if we don't step up.

You will want to watch some of his presentations on r vs. K mating strategies, this is really important in understanding the current societal family dynamic. But essentially Europeans had a largely K based mating strategy where there was a lot of investment into children, and cultures that come from closer to the equator tend to be predispositioned for r mating strategies which have far less investment in children. But r vs. K mating strategies can be inborn, they can also change due to environmental factors where they become programmed epigenenitcally, and it can also be influenced mentally through experiences and discussion with others. It's really a fascinating topic, I recommend you dig into some of his videos about it.

Welfare societies promote r mating strategies not only by providing 'infinite resources' (enough grass to survive), but also by creating single parent households. So we are already sliding down the slippery slope into an r dominated society, and now we have a government subsidized program called "immigration" that is bringing predominantly r cultures on a large scale.

His fear is that our country will be overwhelmed with socialist voters, brought in by the socialist system, and that the K mating strategy will continue a vast decline along with the last of our freedoms.

He isn't racist - he doesn't hate brown people - he just sees how the system is bringing down society with this multi-pronged attack and is trying to throw a wrench in it before we are too far gone.

He has guests on who discuss race and IQ, and claims that the data seems to point to different races (or whatever you want to call what most people refer to as races, or in some cases cultures) have different IQs. Is this racist? I don't think so, I don't think facts can be racist. But if these different groups have different IQs, and IQ is tied to income, then it would be reasonable to expect some groups to do better economically than others. However, the current leftist narrative, and what most blacks and latinos are told is that the reason why they are suffering economically is due to white racism. This turns whites into scapegoats, when in fact, asians and Ashkenazi Jews have higher IQs and higher incomes. So if we can recognize this dynamic, these communities can begin to focus on what they can do to better themselves, because currently they believe that as long as whites are racist they will never be able to come up. They focus on wealth distribution because they believe they deserve it for the way white people are.

He believes we need to all recognize the values that bring people prosperity, liberty and stable societies. Throwing people of European descent under the bus does the opposite because it was Europeans who ended slavery around the globe and helped fight for the concepts of religious, economic and personal liberty that resulted in the prosperity we have seen in the last couple hundred years or so.

Did you know that Muslims had tens of millions of black slaves, who they castrated? Why is it that white people get all the flack for slavery when it was a worldwide phenomenon that white people went out and fought and died for to help end?

He has also done some pretty good videos on how things like western imperialism have been way overly demonized that are worth checking out.

He is still an anarchist, he is just using this nationalism thing as self defense against what he believes in an eminent attack.

The first war is already lost.

I can't pronounce it. My son has to correct me. I've listened to a few of his videos in the past but not recently. They were alright but his voice gets on my nerves.

 

[FindLiberty]

That's not an argument.

lol

In the festival circuit some call him sass or sassafras.

 

[Jim Casey]

He's bucking the safe space trend. I approve. If this decision doesn't increase the size of his audience, it will at least bring some taboo discussion to the show. I doubt he would buck the trend very much though.

moe LEH knee-you

I find some of what he says interesting, but what I find annoying is how he likes to take a half hour to pass on ten minutes of data.

Don't worry too much. He's TheTexan. He probably thinks "Tecumseh" and "Tippecanoe" are furrin too.

The rootless cosmos don't like him for obvious reasons. I wouldn't have a problem with the cosmos if they weren't so gullible.

Id say its blowback to unbound migrant worship by the Libertarian beltway groups.

 

[idiom]

The guy whose utopian DRO's would pay rewards of $10k for reporting neighbours with unregistered firearms? Where every move of each person would be tracked for insurance purposes?

That freedom loving individual?

Some people would put up with any insults to their liberty as long as they get to call their taxes "voluntary user fees".

 

[erowe1]

When I saw one of Molyneaux's cronies earlier today post an interview he did with Diamond and Silk about Trump, I just had to laugh to myself.

Well, wouldn't one have the choice of moving to a different community with different standards? Or subscribing to a different insurer with different standards?

Are you totally against all standards/rules/laws?

What liberties are most important to you, idiom? What does liberty look like to you?
