Kent's "Hooligan Libertarian" Blog
Those who want you to doubt that anarchy (self-ownership and individual responsibility) is the best, most moral, and ethical way to live among others are asking you to accept that theft, aggression, superstition, and slavery are better.

Armed enemies preventing assistance
Government agencies-- FEMA and the FAA for a couple of timely examples-- are the enemy. Some of them are armed enemies. You don't hate them enough.
They and their employees-- those not ignoring the orders of their employer-- need to be treated as such. At least by those they are victimizing.
If a government employee is threatening violence to stop you from delivering or receiving emergency help, they are worse than Al Qaida, ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, Antifa, or the Chinese Communist Party. Combined. Yes, really.
Why are Americans so weak and useless that they allow these enemies to tell them what to do? To prevent them from helping? Oh, right-- because the enemy is armed and has a huge gang providing backup.
No government employee should be allowed to be armed while on the "job". None of them. If that means they can't do their "job", then that's a good thing. Let the people handle it. We can. Better, without violating anyone. Without pretending we have the authority to claim a monopoly of "assistance".
You probably still don't hate government nearly enough.

I'll take second helpings of Liberty
The way most people want liberty is that they like to chew it up and taste it, but then they spit it out. They don’t really want it.
They like the idea of it but are scared of experiencing it in reality. "Terrified" might be more accurate.
They make bizarre excuses so they can keep advocating for political government. For Rulers and other political criminals. For slavery, theft, superstition, and the ruination of society.
They focus on "corruption" and deny that government is working exactly as it has been designed to work. They live in a state of denial and a state of enslavement; dual "citizenship" for the statist.
They carefully avoid anything which would give them a hunger for real liberty. That would upend their world.
So, "just a smidge" is all they want to taste. It's a sad way to exist, but it's their choice. It's not their choice to impose their cowardice on me.
Me? I want a heaping helping of liberty, and I'm going to eat and digest it all. It's good for the health and good for the soul. Quite unlike the poisonous dish of statism.

A foul authoritarian
Who else sees Burgermeister Meisterburger whenever Tim Walz is on your screen? It's like one of those "separated at birth?" things from a few years back. Or the current "I'm going to tell my kids this was...".
I saw it the very first time I saw him, and I still see it. I can't unsee it.
If only real-life political criminals like Walz were as harmless and humorous as fictional authoritarian monsters. We can still laugh at the similarities.

Status report
The good news is that my eye surgery got moved up by a week. Next Wednesday, the 9th, is when I'm now scheduled to have it. I'm so ready! But also nervous.
October is also turning out to be a rather busy month with tangled schedules, which is a bit of an issue, but it will work out.
I'll try to not miss any posts, but we'll see how it goes.
More good news is that my bank account is in the black-- I have $3. If you're someone who hasn't donated in a while, or ever before, and you'd like to help me get a little cushion, you can help in various ways. If not, that's fine, too. It's neither your responsibility nor your concern.
I have a lot to do, and some stuff to get, to be ready for the surgery and the month of limited activity afterward. But I have practice, now.
My computer is still dead in the water, but I'm adapting. I really wish I could access my files and pictures, though.
And that's the situation as of now.
Self-sabotage
Anytime you see the acronym DEI, replace it in your mind with the word “sabotage”. Do the same with the individual parts of DEI; “diversity”, “equity”, and “inclusion”. Those are all sabotage. They will lead to a predictable result.
If you try to implement this policy on your own organization, you are sabotaging yourself.
Maybe you're doing it because you think it's a good look. It's not.
Maybe you think it is necessary in order to help some people. It's not. You're hurting them.
If you want to sabotage something useless and harmful, like government, then by all means impose DEI-- sabotage-- on it.
But if you like something, keep sabotage far away from it. Hire the best people available, without regard to irrelevant surface characteristics and without worrying about checking certain boxes. Don't self-sabotage so you'll look good to those who want to destroy you.

Kill it with fire!
What do you consider THE killshot for the notion of political government?
The one thing that, once heard, either cures the hearer of their belief in statism, or forces them to purge the killshot from their mind as though they’d never heard it so they can keep believing in government.
I know there are many, but there's got to be one that's far more powerful than the others and fits every situation. I'd like to find it. And use it.
What is your best suggestion?

The real danger of "climate change"
I will agree with the climate alarmists on one point: AGCC is an existential threat. Just not in the way they claim.
Not due to climate or weather problems, but because of the things government will do, and has done, using it as justification.
So many crises are of this same type. Crime, Covid, the economy, war, "immigration"... the list goes on forever. The "problem" may or may not be real, but the threat government poses, using these "problems" as its excuse for committing evil could lead to our enslavement or extinction.
This is why government is the root problem. It's why government is and always has been The Ancestral Enemy.

"Forever" governance
I guess they're at it again. Well, they never stopped.
The tyrannical taterheads of government believe themselves-- and their "job"-- so important that even if the world is destroyed someone needs to be governing what's left.
Now, they are focusing more on what happens if they are all dead, too, in some sort of merciful precision strike. They want to make sure someone who thinks like them takes their place.
This is arrogant beyond belief. Like "forever" stamps.
You and I are on our own. We always were. We could all be dead, but as long as government continues these authoritarian monsters see it as a success.
Don't be fooled. "They" are unnecessary and harmful. Any plan to keep them ruling you after a "mass casualty event" is a plan for martial law and tyranny to be imposed, to protect their power over you. Forever.
I'm curious if they are worried that an obviously rigged or fraudulent election (aren't they all?) will trigger some widespread "unrest" that is more useful than sauntering through some "taxpayer"-owned buildings. I doubt enough Americans have the courage to be that useful.
Just remember that this kind of response is not even necessary. The simple fact is, if no one obeys, no one rules. Do not comply.

Oculus sinister
After the recent eye surgery, I can now see great out of my left eye (at distance, anyway), while my right eye has my natural 20/1600+ "vision".
I haven't had a chance to shoot since the eye surgery, but I have done a little dry-fire practice. Political ads are good for something after all. Who knew?
Anyway...
My right eye is my shootin' eye. Or was...
I would have to shoot a rifle left-handed to have any chance of hitting anything other than the broad side of a barn (and that would be from inside the barn).
But I notice that when I aim a handgun I automatically align my left eye with the sights. Without any conscious thought about it at all. My body adapted, without hesitation, the first time I picked up a pistol. I didn't expect this, but I'm glad.
I expect that when I finally get the right eye taken care of, I'll automatically go back to using my right eye. I should find out in around 3 weeks if all goes as planned.
Has anyone else had experience with this?

Has the android become one of us?
Found multiple places online |
Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook/Meta now says he's libertarian.
I don't go by what people say they are. I go by what they do; how they behave.
Do they follow the ZAP?
Or do they just say they want a smaller government to follow the Constitution, while hanging out with congressvermin and other archators and promoting government programs (and politicians) they like? You know, like the majority of the semi-famous "libertarians" you'll run across on social media.
Time will tell with the world's most prominent android. I don't trust him, but I would love to be wrong and need to apologize to him. Which I will gladly do if he's truly changed.
(This post was immediately removed from FB for "violating community standards". Then they instantly removed the post I made saying the other one had been removed, and pointing to this blog's main page. With a warning about continued violations. So, the answer may be closer than we thought.)

Robot wars are coming
I'm thinking it may behoove us to come up with ways to defeat the robots designed to defeat us, including aerial robots- drones. Robots that will be armed.
The recent story about the guy who fought a police robot, and lost, caused me to start thinking about the issue.
You might support what the cops did in this case, but if you're smart you know it's only a matter of time until tyrants use robots against those who aren't complying hard or fast enough. Against the good guys.
Today's robots are a joke compared to what we'll be seeing soon.
If you are only planning for defense from human bad guys, you aren't planning. Of course, robots may have the same weakness that F-15s have: human operators. Some may be autonomous, though. You'll need to be able to beat either type.
Ideas that come to my mind are electrical interference, pit traps, entanglements for their legs/propellers, snare traps, and armor-piercing liberty seeds.
What can you think of that I've missed?
I think this is important and will only become more important in the future. Robots are tools, and like all tools can be used by good guys or bad guys. The most effective ones will be reserved "for law enforcement use only", so we need plans to even the odds.
Added: When I say "Robot wars", I don't mean one government's robots against another government's robots- I mean government robots against you and me. I don't care much what happens between governments until they start calling us "collateral damage".

"Why do the highly educated lean Left?"
It is commonly observed that highly educated people tend to lean Left. Some people would like to believe this means that’s the smart position.
They'll tell you this all the time. Often with a dash of smugness.
It's not necessarily true.
Since most "educators" lean Left, their students are influenced in that direction. Some of those students end up being "educators" and the cycle not only continues, but accelerates. Partly because they feel Left is the wise position since the "smart people" they know all lean in that direction, so to prove they are also smart, they lean Left. Maybe even a little further Left than those who taught them. Or brainwashed them.
The truly smart people reject archation. They lean neither Right nor Left, but toward respecting the rights and liberty of everyone around them. Politics makes people stupid, especially when they think they are being smart.———-

Computer trouble
My laptop has locked me out.
I’m working on it. I’ve tried everything I could think of and I’ve asked people who know more about computers than I do. So far nothing has worked.
"People will never let go of government"
In any discussion with statists, at some point I will be told that people aren't ready for liberty. That they will never accept the responsibility of governing themselves. That they'll continue to insist on being governed, and someone will step in to fill that position.
So what if they're right?
Maybe people aren't ready for liberty.
Maybe they'll insist on having political government and on being governed.
Maybe.
That doesn't mean you have to accept their weakness. It certainly doesn't mean you are wrong for not sharing in it.
They'll never grow up unless they are pushed.
That's why we need to keep pushing. Keep ridiculing statism-- because it is ridiculous. Keep pointing out the evil stupidity of political government. Keep showing them that not everyone accepts the premise that government is good or necessary. Keep expressing the many reasons we don't accept the premise. The reasons we never can.
Yes, (the superstitious idea of ) government exists. So? I don't share that belief- not in government as a concrete thing that people have to have. It's an obsolete belief that evil people use to control gullible people. Once the belief cracks, it's never as powerful against you.
Yes, those who believe in it will continue to be a danger to you and to society. I wouldn't expect anything else. There will always be bad people doing things they have no right to do. The hallucinations inside their head that cause them to justify doing those things may differ, but it's irrelevant. I don't care why they do wrong; only that they do.

Where are they now?
Do you ever wonder "Where are they now?"?
I was just wondering about the person who, in response to my newspaper column about Covid hysteria in October 2020, wrote this to me:
You tell people to go ahead and get out in the same paper that the doctors are asking us to stay in as much as possible. You are incredibly inconsiderate. You go ahead and get out and when you get sick, we’ll just say “Sure there was a cost” but he knew and was happy to risk it.
You need to stop writing until you face reality.

The Difference
When I don't like what others are doing I'll refuse to take part. I'll speak out against what they are doing. I may ridicule it. I'll only use force if I have to do so to protect life, liberty, or property from an archator.
When a statist doesn't like what others are doing, the statist will threaten (and use) government violence against them to stop them from doing it, whether there's an individual victim or not.
We are not the same.

I'm not signing
If someone came to you today, with a document to sign that said the exact same thing the US Constitution says, would you sign it?
I wouldn't.
I was told I will be forced to sign some constitution, so I'd better sign this one or I'll be signing one that's worse.
I am not signing.
I was told they don't care if I don't sign. They'll insist on governing me anyway.
So, then, why would I sign?
I was told I must have a PLAN! to deal with thugs who would insist on governing/molesting me anyway. I pointed out all plans fall apart as soon as other people are involved. What is his plan? Signing their one-sided "contract"?
The best thing to do is to have principles that you can act on.
I'm still not signing it.
I was asked what I do when armed people show up and demand I pay their "taxes". I asked if he has a plan to deal with muggers.
How would signing a constitution eliminate the thieves? Why didn't it work this time?
I'm not signing anything.
So I was told all I have are principles and ideas that can't be put into concrete action. What an odd thing to say. Especially from someone whose plan seems to involve signing documents forced on him by criminal gangs. Documents which will be interpreted and enforced by the people employed by the criminal gang.
Not gonna sign.
Then he said I was claiming persecution, simply because I pointed out that criminals will always exist, whether you call them rapists, cops, murderers, tax collectors, rapists, or whatever. If you can't live free in spite of them, then you'll never be free.
All I'm saying is that I'm not going to sign, not that I'd try to stop him from signing.
So I was told again that I "hate" the Constitution, that I "keep pretending as if the binary is between 'a perfect stateless system or the imperfect constitution' when in reality the choice is between this imperfect constitution or some other constitution that is worse." Which I never did. In fact, I pointed out several times that Utopia is not an option.
But, I wouldn't sign his constitution.
This was another of those self-proclaimed "libertarians", doing anything he could think of to force people to live under a state because he couldn't imagine any other way.
And, I still wouldn't sign his constitution.

Things that make you say "Really?"
Curious whether "someone" has made political donations in your name without your knowledge? (Or want to see who the latest wanna-be assassin has been donating to?) Go to https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts and find out.
I was relieved to not find my name anywhere on the list. But I did see something a little suspicious.
One of my relatives seems to have made well over 200 donations in the last year she was alive-- up until 8 days before she died in January of this year. Mostly $3 each (198 of them!), with some smaller, some slightly larger, some amounts of a greater order of magnitude, and a couple of $250 donations. All but one going to ACTBLUE.
Maybe she did... but it looks fishy.
She suffered a stroke several years ago and hadn't been 100% since then, unable to speak and be understood by anyone but her immediate family, and unable to walk. I'm not really sure how good her mind was otherwise.
It wouldn't shock me to discover she was a leftist, but it shows she made 13 small donations in one day, and on several days she apparently made 5, 6, or 7 donations.
She probably had the money to do this, but it looks odd to me. There was one other person in this ZIP code with a similar donation profile, also mostly giving to ACTBLUE, but with only about half as many individual donations. This relative of mine beat everyone else in the ZIP code for the number of donations, but not the dollar amount. (One other relative made around 70 donations to various Republican groups and candidates in the past 2 years. This also seems excessive, but as there wasn't only one main recipient, it looks legitimate.)
I'm not going to mention this to her family. As I say, she could very well have been a lefty, and what's done is done. I don't corner people over politics. I can't explain peoples' political behaviors. Plus, it's none of my business. I didn't even intend to see this information, it was an accident as I was looking for my name and didn't know quite how to work the website. It just makes me wonder.

Spending all the time on the crazy half
I've always said I agree with the Right and the Left on the half of things they are each correct about. That hasn't changed. Given all the positions of each side, in raw numbers, they are still right on around half the topics.
Something else has changed, though. They are no longer correct half the time.
Both sides are focusing most of their time and effort yapping about the things they are wrong about.
Their statist positions disgust me.
The Right would probably claim they push their bad positions-- pro-cop/"lawn odor", borderism, imperialism/militarism, etc.-- as a reaction to the nutty stuff coming from the Left. That excuses nothing.
The Left may still be correct about half of the time-- but they have pushed that half almost completely aside. They've swept it under the rug and focused hard on the things they are wrong about. Things like having government traffic people, banning guns, sexualizing kids, etc. (Things they lie and say isn't what they are doing when it really is.)
Why have they stopped talking about the things they are correct about-- ending prohibition, for example-- and started going so hard for the crazy stuff they are wrong about? Perhaps they'd claim it is in reaction to the nutty stuff coming from the Right. It excuses nothing.
I find it so hard to relate to statists.

Destroyers vs the rest of us
Every government agency is established to destroy whatever is in its realm.
If it’s in the name, that agency is working to destroy it.
Or, to at least destroy the credibility of that area of human work and study. NOAA probably can't destroy the atmosphere and ocean, but it can utterly destroy the credibility of those working in that arena. It can prevent any real progress from being made.
Just try to find an exception.
I'm not saying they'll limit themselves to destroying only that which is in their name, though. The FAA (Feral Aviation Administration) is working to destroy not only aviation but also space flight and the very future of humanity. "Good job", clowns.
If you want government oversight over something, you're looking to destroy that which you claim needs this government "help". Why?
Some just hate progress (a defining characteristic of "progressives"), but some seem to think they can profit from the broken pieces that are left after government steps in. Maybe they can, if they are evil enough.
If you call for government oversight over something, I see you as wanting to stop or destroy that thing. I don't see you as a serious person, looking to make the world better, but as a micro-tyrant hating to see anything good succeed or survive. Which is the same as destroying it.

Your primary earthly enemy
In everything it does, government proves it is liberty's enemy. It is your enemy. The Ancestral Enemy, because it has been the enemy of humanity-- including all your ancestors-- since the day the first crooks came together to create it.
Government makes up "laws" on the spot, violates its own laws, and then acts like you're the criminal for not submitting to their criminal behavior. I was going to link to a video from the UK of police doing this (and then posting an apology for "getting it wrong") sent to me by a reader in the UK, but someone has had the video taken down. Cops are scum in every country.
Government traffics humans, calls them "refugees", and then prohibits you from defending yourself, your property, and your cats from them. It claims its "borders", open or closed, negate your property rights.
Government steals your money, calls it "taxation", and pretends it has the "authority" to steal it. And that it's a good thing they do. They used to pretend this was how they fund government, but it has always been a way to defund you, instead.
Government rations your tools of defense, then acts like it does so to make you safer. But does nothing to fill the gap this leaves in your defenses. And then it becomes what you need to defend yourself from.
Government violates your rights and acts as though this somehow promotes social behavior. Being "social" by being antisocial? How is that supposed to work, exactly?
Government goes around the world creating enemies who are willing to die to kill you, then it wants you to thank it for "protecting our freedom". Government is a liar.
The ways government shows itself to be your enemy are too numerous to list. I can think of more ways faster than I can type them down.
If you still think any political government is good or necessary, you're deluded. It's useful... if you're a bad guy who wants to govern others. Otherwise, no. If you can't do what you want to do without the power of government, you have no business doing it at all.

Propaganda as press releases
I've mentioned several times all the mailing lists I have ended up on, probably due to my newspaper column making my email address public. Lists I really don't want to be on, but that I don't usually immediately unsubscribe from because I know I can learn things from them.
I've learned something new. Or, at least I've recently noticed something.
The "conservative"/Republican newsletters don't pretend to be anything other than biased opinion-- even when they present it as "news", they don't try to pretend to be neutral. They don't try to look like press releases.
The "progressive"/Democrat newsletters pretend to be unbiased press releases. They pretend to only be presenting the facts-- facts no one could argue with.
I get them all the time on the issue of "climate change". They have language about "how to talk about the climate", and all the experts they offer come down on the climate crisis side, but they still present themselves as unbiased information. As a neutral press release for "science".
I got one just now on the topic of "immigration". Again, all the talking points and all the experts were on one side of the issue. None on the other. Since it was presented as a neutral press release, all the bias was pro-"immigration". All the voices were obviously Democrat-adjacent.
Make of this what you will. It's just interesting data to me.

Obey, or suffer
Once again, I hear people saying that if you don't follow the rapist's directions to the letter, and immediately, don't be surprised when the rapist hurts or kills you.
Oops, I mean "police officer", not "rapist". It's understandable confusion due to the fact they both use the same methods and excuses.
Copsuckers disgust me to the core.
Yes, bad guys will hurt you if you don't obey their demands-- because they are bad guys. Saying that people must obey cops without question because they are cops is the worst opinion out there. It may be safer in the current environment, but that doesn't make the cop right. Cops don't have "extra rights".
I don’t know who the guy is that the cop attacked. He may be an entitled jerk. What he was doing may have been dangerous. What the cop did was also entitled and dangerous. Both can be in the wrong. Bad guys often clash with bad guys.
Cops are not automatically the good guys- it's more likely in current times that they aren't.

Don't eat MY cats
I'm skeptical. I have my doubts that Haitian refugees are eating pet cats. I have somewhat less doubt they may be eating waterfowl from the parks.
If you're starving, you do what you gotta do.
However, if anyone tries to eat one of my cats, it's going to be a bad day for them— quite possibly their last day. Then, I'll feed my cats whatever is left of their earthly remains. Chopped fine, with gravy.
Yes, this means I value my cats' lives over the lives of people who would try to kill animals I am responsible for rather than just asking me for some food. I don't value the lives of thieves, and if what you're stealing (and killing) is one of my animals, then I value your life even less than that. So little an electron microscope wouldn't see any trace, if my valuation were a physical thing.

He's lying about his books being banned
Stephen King says Florida has banned 23 of his books. Yet, "banned" would mean the Florida government has made it illegal for bookstores to carry those books for sale. Maybe even criminalized the possession of those books in your home or on private property. Like when drugs or weapons are banned. Is this what has happened?
Or is he lying?
It seems he's just mad that an institution he probably supports isn't providing his books for the inmates to read.
Telling schools they can't provide sexually explicit materials to kindergarteners (or other pre-adolescents) isn't censorship. It's not an example of "banning books"; it's being a responsible adult by keeping powerful things out of the hands of those developmentally incapable of properly handling them, primarily due to their age.
It's like being responsible by not handing an unsupervised 6-year-old a loaded and cocked pistol and sending him out the door. Maybe school libraries shouldn't provide guns for the kids to check out, either. As much as I support the natural human right to own and carry weapons, I know this wouldn't be the right thing, or the smart thing, to do. This isn't supporting "gun control"; it's not being part of a problem. Stephen King is part of a problem.
I'm opposed to government making up legislation on either side of the issue-- or, about anything at all. I'm also opposed to the existence of government schools. This is only an issue because government is doing lots of interlocking things it shouldn't be doing-- things it has no right to do because government has no rights.
