Congratulations on your marriage, God bless you and your wife, I hope you two are well. I am happy you are back on RUclips, I have always loved your videos and I agree with 98% of what you preach, you are a great educator and I thank you for your great work. I will continue to listen and grow with you, this channel is great and is truly a beacon of hope in the libertarian community.
Why would a self-proclaimed Christian bow down to the rule of man? What happened to "thou shall not serve two masters?" Even Thomas Aquinas said that "God alone is to be served." Christians should follow the teachings to their logical conclusion. Only God is the ultimate authority and no Christian should idolatrize another man. In every country you can see how people bow to politicians and seek salvation (from the state, from their fellow man, etc.) in them. In the US, the most obvious one is the Donald. Fear is instilled in everyone that not voting will lead to their subjugation. And thus everyone is fooled into worshiping fake idols. They don't pray to God to save them, they pray to their "elected officials" to save them.
Great to see one of my favorite channels make a return! Would you be down to debate LiquidZulu on Ancap, or perhaps even God? Would be really cool to hear both of your critiques on this issue😊
its funny I found you in my ancap days and always thought you were a hidden gem on youtube. Good to see you back and I look forward to more quality videos
Glad to have you back, I discovered you just before your "last" video when I was moving from being libertarian to traditionalist and looking at monarchism.
Hi Anglo. Nice to see you are back. After reading "Libertarian Anarchy" by Gerard Casey, and considered myself a Catholic natural law libertarian, I resolved the tension between Catholicism and libertarianism pretty easily, more than a decade ago. Pretty much with most of the points that you made. I have heard of those NRx people, but I will look into them again.
Basically you went through the same journey I did. I still hold on to some libertarian convictions and principles. I started watching your channel shortly before you left to still get some libertarian theory after I became progressively more rectionary (pun not intended). I'm not surprised at all that you also went the reactionary journey also. Congrats on getting married! Cheers!
Certainly glad to hear you are well, I am interested to hear your arguments on anarchism in relation to Ancaps. This point will get you push back; but I await your arguments, for I am sure they will be good
I'm a libertarian monarchist and totally understand the feeling of being not completely accepted in both conservative or libertarian circles. Glad to see you back here on YT!
As someone who’s both extremely economically libertarian but very right wing I can sympathize with not really fitting in with the right wing catholic circles which tend to be in many cases more favorable to greater state control of economics
As a libertarian I've found god recently too. 2 years ago i never even thought about religion, but then half a year ago, so suddenly i became christian. I think god is working in the hearts of libertarians, conservatives and red pillers. So many right wing youtubers seem to be converting to Christianity nowadays. I think there will be a real christian revival in this generation. In the "Jesus Revolution" movie they were talking about how the hippies in the 1970s were looking for the right thing but in the wrong places, i think in the same way, gen z really wants to find meaning and help people but they are just so misguided. They really just need to be nudged into the right direction.
I've had a similar journey to you in terms of religion, (Your video on Christianity helped me look into it, and I found Orthodoxy) with Politics I just became more of a Paleo Libertarian rather that what happens to most people who leave this space, which is go through 18 Trillion new ideologies all of which are more crazy and nonsensical than the last. Overall I've just grown in my politics and mellowed out since I first watched your Channel, been more into my Faith as of late tbh. Glad you're back Anglo. Dead Naming is my hobby
It is great to see you here again. I have read your article "Why I'm not an anarchist", and I would like to know, what makes your ideas incompatible with the rules of anarcho-capitalism. The rulership to be just, needs to be voluntary and free of coercion. The ruler cannot rule over your land if you rightfully own it, and cannot subjugate it by force. This means if you do not wish to be ruled, you simply refrain from joining community with a ruler. I am not sure if I am missing something, however anarcho-capitalism was always meant to be built by small communities, abiding by their own rules, and these rules may find a place for rulers. As long as you are not aggressing on anyone, you are free to do anything you want with your property. If the land you live on is owned, by someone else, you abide by their rules, from the fact, it is their property you live on. Please correct me if there is any error in my thought process, and you are more than welcome, to give me book reccomendations explaining in depth any related concept.
Yeah I’m sort of confused too. I agree with anarcho capitalism in the sense of voluntary arrangements and the state being evil and inherently an aggression against natural rights. However, I’m not a fan of the solutions given by Hoppe and Rothbard. That is, defense, law, and courts be up to insurance and arbitration companies. I much prefer their “intermediate goal” of a thousand Liechtensteins as Hoppe put it. The only way I think ancapistan would work is if a person or corporation in a set area said “hey these are my rules and if you pay me a voluntary fee, I’ll provide you with defense, law and order, and protection.” Think free private cities. The difference between this and the “insurance model” is that there would still be a territorial monopolist, be it voluntary. I’m not sure if that contradicts anarcho capitalism, though.
IT IS lovely to hear from you again mate. I stepped away from Ancap about the same time you did and based upon my experiences in moving to and working in British and European Cities over the last nearly four years, stepped even further to the right than you seem to have. Holding on to the idea of libertarianism, and individualism but sadly having my opinion of the public at large being repeatedly lowered, to the point seeing no practical possibility of successful implementation in to today's reality. I find your conversion to Catholicism interesting, I agnosically hold Catholicism in high regard but have personally always found myself far closer spiritually to pre-Christian Northern European beliefs, again, maybe formed by exposure to the slippery slope state of contemporary Protestantism. Looking forward to hearing some different and likely opposing discourse as you find time to engage and upload again.
Reading your article (I may have missed some things) Ancaps mostly are not against a leader someone in charge of the hierarchy just against rulers , people who force their leadership. Same with government. Government is voluntary the state is forceful governance. But the state has taken & muddied the word so much there is confusion when an anarchist is for government. So please correct if I’m wrong about anything I’m confused here.
I can relate to this a lot. I too have moved from Anarchism and towards becoming more religious (although for me, it was from atheism to polytheism as opposed to your dive from atheism to Christianity). And my move in those directions, along with other activities of mine has lead me to likewise alienate myself from plenty of folks. Your not alone in your journey, and I hope you’ve been doing good/better. TL;DR good to have you back!
I’m not sure how can catholic morality can fit with libertarianism so I’m definitely interested in knowing more. Most religious “libertarians” I’ve met are libertarians in name only, and/or have a very limited knowledge of their own faith.
If you understand spanish i advice you the professor Miguel Anxo Bastos. He is an istitution in spanish ancap cicles. His most famous phrase is (speaking about how countries get wealthy): ``Capitalism, saving and hard work, there is no other way arround´´
Welcome back, Anglo... or rather Ceadda, it is gonna take a while to get used to it ;P You are one of my favorite creators on this platform. You have contributed many valuable videos, like one of the best if not the best short introduction to ancap there currently is. You can write well, exploring ideas in depth without losing on accessibility (sorry liquidzulu, you are too autistic to be popular). I see that you search for what is true, follow wherever it leads, you are not shy about it - and I deeply appreciate that. To make this comment more engaging, I'm going to comment on the article you mentioned on the video: "Why I'm not an anarchist". I read it and I believe I got the idea behind it. If you are not comfortable wit the label of anarchist that is perfectly fine. (I myself prefer term voluntaryist on that note.) But I want to make a case that you could still be qualified as an anarchist. I think that we can make a meaningful distinction between the leader and the ruler. What it means to be a ruler? I think that instead classing it as a subcategory of leaders, much more useful is defining ruler as the one who claims the right to rule. What is the right to rule then? The right to rule is the moral right to force individual to act, even against his will. To rule therefore is not the same as to lead. Everyone can lead, if there are those who voluntarily will follow. No one has a right to rule, except God, but he chooses not to (because he is a libertarian :P there is an amazing talk on this by JHS "God and anarchocapitalism", check it out). If we make this distinction, then you are still fitting inside of an anarchist umbrella. Anyway, congrats on marriage, and God bless you!
Thesis and antithesis combine to create a sinthesis which maintains common variables, and if you are lucky with the balance and the thesis and antithesis arent that difrent, then things will go fine, good to know that I am not the only traditionalist and religius liberatarian.
I think it is all good for you to be a libertarian, but not an anarchist anymore. As it relates to the culture you have, surrounding yourself with people who live by the same values which you live is nothing wrong either. Of course, so long as there isn't any voiding of the NAP. Then again, mid-level violence exists, but your local community could just not interact with the one enacting in such a thing. This being called Physical Removal Theory. I'm still new to learning the Austrian Economics school of thought. I find this is something I found similar to my beliefs when I wasn't studying econ prior to my first ever study in college. Which yes, in college there was a lot of propaganda to focus on a specific school of thought. Nonetheless, I have listened to your videos and has helped me understand more. Tho I really should do reading, proper study of these books and learning about these various people in Austrian Econ. However, in your substack, I did some reading regarding why you don't call yourself an anarchist anymore and it gave me an idea on how to organize these various ideologies on a proper graph. I notice these terms of econ ideology is all over the place, but, at least what I notice, there isn't anything to specifically state how humans economically organize. But I do see a specific trend and have been doing a lot of thinking regarding specific terms on this graph. Additionally, from that article, I came to a conclusion that it is possible to have a ruler, but just not done by force. Which this realization is what had kickstarted me into coming up with this graph I created for plotting out various ideology.
Welcome back man! Your right wing religious shift at the end of your Anglo Libertarian days actually inspired me to take a step out of my own sphere when I was a teenage libertarian. I've now become an adult libertarian who is also a Christian (albeit Orthodox rather than Catholic). The libertarian reactionary seems to not be the most common of breeds, and of those that make edited videos I think you may be the only one. I'm gladly await to see whatever videos you produce.
No I won't, as the issue is not to do with the concepts behind "anarcho-capitalism", all of which I still agree with, but the word "anarchy" itself. So I'm not offended if somebody calls me an ancap because I know what they mean, but don't believe it's accurate.
@@CeaddaOfMercia Is this change about ancap a religious perspective then? acknowledging that God has a govt over the whole world that supersedes all others?
Welcome back. nothing wrong with being a traditionalist ancap, as long as you don't infringe on anyone else's objective rights. and yes, hoppeanism does in fact infringe on your right to travel across unowned land. also, you know, the catholics waged war on people for having a bible like the cathars, not very libertarian i'd say, also very connected with the jesuits, and if you have read the jesuit oath, i would stay away from the jesuits as much as possible. look at the symbols of your pope, look at his cross he wears with an upside down bird, look at the hall they have that looks like a snake, look at the staff he has that looks like what the annunaki used, along with the pine cone and the fish shaped cap they wear. you are essentially following an ancient religion that had to change when jesus came to get the masses behind them. i suggest watching static in the attic on youtube, who has great content on this.
Welcome back. Try to listen to your community's ideas a bit more this time around instead of being so sure that you are right. On that note, I'd like to mention that I read your substack article on anarchism and think you missed something in your definition of Ruler. Its not simply a political leader, or a person who makes collective political decisions, its a person or institution wherein sovereignty of the society in question is vested. Its not a question of leadership, but a question of rights. And the argument actually made by ancaps, while admittedly badly articulated by most, is that sovereignty in a society should remain with the property owners rather than being vested in a person or institution for the society as a whole. Practically the difference this makes is whether property owners have a right to withdraw consent to be governed or not. When there is a ruler, you need the consent of the ruler to leave with your bodily autonomy and property intact, when you have sovereignty you do not need to ask for permission, you can do it at any time by terminating the contract.
I'm fluent in old english and I can correct you. Your pronunciation of "Ceadda" is correct for the most part but if you really want to be orthodox you should have stretched the "a" for a quater of a second longer.
I became much more comfortable with the relationship between my Catholic faith and my libertarian beliefs when i found out my position was not held just by a handful of men in the modern day but by intellectual giants of the 19th century like Ignaz Döllinger and Lord Acton. Even Gladstone was an Anglo-Catholic although he never joined Cardinal Newman all the way to the finish line.
I'm a former ancap and libertarian, a few years have passed, and now I'm a muslim. I see that there's a common theme in right-wing libertarians eventually shifting to more traditional, religious, right-wing paths. I appreciate that you grew and developed your views and i feel that i relate a lot to your journey over the past couple of years. wish you well
As a libertarian leaning Christian myself, I think one of the problems with libertarianism (and Liberalism) is its emphasis on the Self-Ownership Principle (SOP). Most libertarians believe they own themselves and may freely do whatever they wish with themselves as long as it doesn't interfere with another person's right of self-ownership. I think this breeds a libertine mentality. As a Christian I believe God ultimately owns all of Creation, including us. This makes us mere stewards of "our" property and lives, the use of which God will hold us responsible for, either rewarding us for good use or punishing us for ill use. This I believe breeds a mentality of responsibility which is necessary for liberty to flourish. I am uncertain if the difference between self-ownership and self-stewardship would lead to any different policy or legal prescriptions, but I do believe it would cause a moral shift which is even more important.
In the worlds darkest hour he came back when he was most needed.
You are still a freedom enjoyer so therefore you are still based. Good to have you back.

As an Atheist. I agree with you. Christians who support government are prioritizing the Goddess Society over their christian god.
Agreed.
This is the way. No kings but Christ. Christianity logically leads to (and God commands it) anarchism.

I will temporarily be cathlic when i watch your videos just for you
List of people who risen from the dead:

Welcome back, brother in Christ
Add moses bruh
Add Osiris and Dionysus too.
Also Samuel and Lazarus.
Isaac came back metaphorically.
magic is not real.
Has it really been 5 years already? Wow
Welcome back. Try to listen to your community's ideas a bit more this time around instead of being so sure that you are right.
On that note, I'd like to mention that I read your substack article on anarchism and think you missed something in your definition of Ruler.
Its not simply a political leader, or a person who makes collective political decisions, its a person or institution wherein sovereignty of the society in question is vested.
Its not a question of leadership, but a question of rights. And the argument actually made by ancaps, while admittedly badly articulated by most, is that sovereignty in a society should remain with the property owners rather than being vested in a person or institution for the society as a whole.
Practically the difference this makes is whether property owners have a right to withdraw consent to be governed or not. When there is a ruler, you need the consent of the ruler to leave with your bodily autonomy and property intact, when you have sovereignty you do not need to ask for permission, you can do it at any time by terminating the contract.
I'm fluent in old english and I can correct you. Your pronunciation of "Ceadda" is correct for the most part but if you really want to be orthodox you should have stretched the "a" for a quater of a second longer.
Oh finally epic news!
I became much more comfortable with the relationship between my Catholic faith and my libertarian beliefs when i found out my position was not held just by a handful of men in the modern day but by intellectual giants of the 19th century like Ignaz Döllinger and Lord Acton. Even Gladstone was an Anglo-Catholic although he never joined Cardinal Newman all the way to the finish line.
Huh, I didn't know Acton was. Glory to God
I'm a former ancap and libertarian, a few years have passed, and now I'm a muslim. I see that there's a common theme in right-wing libertarians eventually shifting to more traditional, religious, right-wing paths. I appreciate that you grew and developed your views and i feel that i relate a lot to your journey over the past couple of years. wish you well
hahahahahha
Subhan'Allah brother, he guides whom he wills
Wtf, how did I not know you came back?
nice that you are back.
Yo! Less go
As a libertarian leaning Christian myself, I think one of the problems with libertarianism (and Liberalism) is its emphasis on the Self-Ownership Principle (SOP). Most libertarians believe they own themselves and may freely do whatever they wish with themselves as long as it doesn't interfere with another person's right of self-ownership. I think this breeds a libertine mentality.
As a Christian I believe God ultimately owns all of Creation, including us. This makes us mere stewards of "our" property and lives, the use of which God will hold us responsible for, either rewarding us for good use or punishing us for ill use. This I believe breeds a mentality of responsibility which is necessary for liberty to flourish.
I am uncertain if the difference between self-ownership and self-stewardship would lead to any different policy or legal prescriptions, but I do believe it would cause a moral shift which is even more important.
Now that you're back you should consider collabing with MentisWave
Have you explored Orthodox Christianity? We venerate St. Chad of Mercia as a Saint in the Orthodox Church.
