      I told you so: So Reason is promoting fascism now, public private partnership. Gtfoh
      Culturally libertarians intellectually guide the freedom movememt. Unfortunately, your foolishness ie passificist postmodernism for instance, keeps you from overcoming our establishment & populiat Right.
      I like capitalism, a free market, yet we have to claim the space & we need a narrative which drives that, that domestic enemies must be stopped, peacefully or otherwise!
      I like alot about both Thomas Massie & Dave Smith but I dont think much of libertarians nor even Ancaps, like i used to, which Mileau portends to be. Perhaps libertarians ought not have asked everyone to remain peaceful while we were being harmed so horribly.
      I'm ashamed Idaho has lost Ammon Bundy, even if only for the moment. Thank you so much for standing up. Crazy that someone wouldn't want Garden Valley's premier Covid Hospital, St Lukes, to take children from their parents. Especially, after their being part & parcel to the Govt fear agenda, pushing perversely incentivised medical experiments & other dangerous unnecessary procedures. Furthermore, for the Idaho govt, & all those who enforce it, to take our freedom to protest, to speak out, to confront this hospital, is unacceptable.
      Wtbs allow me to offer what i can to the people within this "People's Rights" community who I respect so much:
      The US govt, UN, NATO, are colonizing countries with Woke Ideology~looking to grow their New World Order even if they have to completely destroy those areas which they hope to annex to themselves (such as happened in Ukraine). Couple this Woke invasion w/ them & the WEF which they're part & parcel to, spreading international schemes of global control in the form of Medical if not Evironmental tyrannies. Would Isreal not jump at the chance to claim Palestine as part of their technocratic state? They already control it as if it is one of the new 15 min cities we're all being threatened with having to live in.
      We see the West is under new management, talking about British Intelligence, CIA, & Mossad, for starters; blackmaliers, Jeffery Epstien & company, sexually enslaving kids for power.
      Surveilance State terrorism includes the Covid Agenda, vax passports, censorship, impoverishing inflation, govt corporate collusion. This control is so all inclusive it takes barbarism to even be heard. Not excusing Hamas though I'm not believing the Israel reporting either. We need to see beyond our ideas of how these two mindsets disagree & see how we're being manipulated into accepting these Surveilance States.
      More to it: The Isreali govt doesn't allow the Jewish citizens their to defend themselves, restricting gun ownership. Instead that govt & its supporters chose a surveillance state, & what they got is govt failure & vaccine passports. Stop supporting big govt terrorism here & elsewhere.
      Yaron Brook r u for replacing Americans in following w/ the UN/NWO plan because conservatives are being targeted by their govts here as conservatives elsewhere? I mean, are u w/ us or these fascists? U were w/ the fascists during the Covid Agenda & seem to excuse these govt made or otherwise criminally funded movements as if they were private, or freely chosen as opposed to being forced like they were. Also, u rail against critics of the surveilance state calling them luddites, you support restrictions on our 2nd Amm & arguably our 1st Amm too. Are we just backwards savages to you as well, savages who you're ready to replace as well. Sure seems that way. You're not fighting mad over these govt machinations put to crush Americans as you are over the atrocities committed in Isreal. U have dual citizeship I'm sure, but seems you'd only pick up arms to defend Isrealis.
      Problem being, if we do not support the NWO Surveliance States, we're smeared as AntiColonialists, as luddites, &/or as if we're Woke leftist.
      On the other hand, "Gays for Isreali (Technocracy)" similarly as the "Gays for Palestine", support tyranny directly aimed at harming themselves, states in which gays are persecuted. More specifically, Isreal like much of Europe & the United States too, are replete with evil nazidoctors transgerdering gay as well as other children ie mutilating their sex organs. Neil Tyson Degrasse media darling, supports it. How Woke is that?
      Degrasse like Sam Harris are TedTalk TechNazis. Of course, people are mad at them~supporting forced experiments, Trump's Covid Agenda & more. Jeeeze.
      Ben Shapiro betrayed Americans for the same TechNazi evil as they, as well as betraying himself, the American way he purports to support so well, the capitalist free markets, a betrayal by supporting the Lockdowns, a plan that came out of Isreal, btw. I wonder where Shapiro's allegiance lies, betraying so much already for what...
      Plus, "Glenn Beck is an Isreal 1st Republican, willing to sacrifice Americans to bring about end times prophecy. Move there, Glenn! How dare u fail to defend Americans 1st Amm, taking America's 1st amm, to protect some other land, some other people instead; your beloved Israel is censoring Americans' speech. Do u have dual citizenship?
      Speaking of which, out of the American hostages, how many have dual citizenship? Not obligated to save someone whose first allegiance is elsewhere.
      Back to it, Israeli Surveilance State officials lobbying for restrictions both Trump & Desantis signed, restrictions equating to an attack from a foreign power, attacking/taking Americans' free speech is an act of war against our way of life. You might want to speak out against that. One can make threats, legally, as a matter of speech. For instance, Blacks ought to get Whites or vice versa, as long as it isn't more immediate & specific. Dave Rubin doesn't seem to agree w/ this, our freedom of speech, wanting threats against the state of Israel or Jews as a whole, to be outlawed, & this is Rumble's free speech poster boy. Lol, you'll never last as a free speech platform with this philosophically challenged individual having his hands on it.
      Furthering Trump, Make Amer CHINA w/ Trump Again, Israel 1st all the way, ought be his platform. Trump used his office to bribe & bully states into enforcing his facicst covid agenda, same way he bribed & bullied them into accepting the Red Flag Laws he was pushing. Moreover, Trump impoverished Americans w/ his 6 trillion dollar bail out. So the poor in the street should get his money & that which he gave away as well, to Blackrock for instance. Bottomline, get ur Trump Jabs & Boosters if u dont like that.
      In short, until the government gives us justice for the Covid Agenda & all that involved, then it is illegitimate & in the way of those who would bring the guilty to justice. So no Dinesh Desousa, we shouldn't back the Blue in our Surveilance Police State..
      Ending this, Anarchist Opting out of society doesn't defend freedom. You left us all hanging, undefended from the covid agenda. Suffer in our slave masks unless we can buy, work, or otherwise think our way out of it? Seems we had a better deal believing in the American narrative until libertarians & anarchists cynically undermined it...
      America as an idea says defend this land from enemies both foreign & domestic while libertarianism or anarchism does not, & as Jordan Peterson says "if you're talking to a man who wouldn't fight with you under any circumstance whatsoever than you're talking to someone with whom you have absolutely no respect". Reminds me of what Ayn Rand describes as the problem with the Russian White (Relativist) Army, that they didn't really stand for anything.
      On the contrary, we have to claim the space, stand for something, draw the line.
      Meanwhile, open up the prisons, the borders & more til the biggest threat, the greatest harm, the NWO surveliance state is destroyed.
      To sum, we need to start attributing accountability to be free.
      "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice, - is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other."
      John Stuart Mill
      I'm speaking up for the American people; telling them to stand against these Western technocratic govts, not stand with nor down from them. We've the right to defend freedom, dissolve a tyrannical govt, & hold the guilty accountable. No justice, no peace!
      Otherwise, you're golden. Great show!
      The end.🎉

      Why can't libertarians overcome this establishment? I'd say it's mostly due to lack of funding, and lack of outreach.
      We had one very large moment that almost worked with Ron Paul, but it just wasn't quite enough to tip the scales, but Paul did an awful lot more than just make podcasts on YT, he was getting out there on campaign trails, going to events, fares, festivals ect, we don't have anyone like that anymore.

    I'm glad to see that Reason is sharing diverse viewpoints. Eggers' model is not pure Laissez Faire like Milton Friedman. He acknowledges how government is useful, but he wants it to be more efficient and streamlined. Nozick's nightwatchman state is neither desirable nor practical. Libertarianism and classical liberalism get vilified by many who conflate libertarianism with the nightwatchman state. Bravo to the Reason Foundation.

    if you think the govt represents the people, then the govt shouldn't steer, because that's influencing people, not representing them. you listen to politicians and they talk about convincing people to do X or Y. that's not the talk of someone listening to the people and trying to do what the people want, that's the politician trying to be a leader and tell people what to do. many people don't want someone to tell them what to do. and those that do shouldn't have their masters demand to be the masters of people who don't want masters. but maybe we disagree on that.

    • @NeonAnimeDreams

      This is very well articulated.
      What reason totally misses here is these policies they are championing so much because it lead to some privatization, were actually done in a very progressive way, in fact these were progressive policies, or policies of the left.
      People on this left always = socialism bandwagon need to stop, aside from welfare programs there's not much socialist about the left in America, and it's been this way from at least the 90s as you can tell from the conversation they're having in the video.
      So why would people as horrible as the progressive left want privatization you might ask?
      Well, the answer might surprise you but the left are actually quite business savey and monopolistic.
      All of those monopolies Rothbard warned you about were usually ran by left leaning businessmen.
      But the biggest reason of all is because they can control it. If it wasn't for that, then they wouldn't care.
      Look at every single government function that was ever privatized but still gets paid off the books in the form of government contracts. Each and everyone of these "private" entities has to follow a whole host rules and guidelines as to how they operate, who they hire and fire, who they associate with, ectect.
      So what's the end result of this? It creates entities that compete in the private place but have unfair government subsidies, entities that will one day out compete good honest businesses and whom will only hire people who are politically aligned with them.
      This IS fascism, and it's nothing any libertarian think tank should be championing.

      Arguing with anarchists is exhausting. Let's give an analogy:
      Someone killed your wife! Are you going to hire a team of private detectives and bounty hunters to track down and detain the murderer? And once the alleged murderer has been caught, will you be the judge and jury? And once you unilaterally pass judgement, will you hire a team of construction workers to build a prison in your back yard and a team of 24/7 security to watch the prisoner until the sentence that you unilaterally passed has been served?
      Look I'm all for reducing the size of government by 99% but you anarchists just make libertarians look stupid.

      In this version there are private detectives and police but the cost is lower on you because everyone in the community contractually agrees to pay for these services to live there.
      Now obviously there are some jurisdictionional issues that would have to be ironed out, and in some cases you might need to hire a bounty hunter, but the courts would be much as they are today, with a jury and all the rest of it, just not paid for with taxes.
