What does the term “extremist” even mean when the people who advocated for endless wars of aggression, torture, mass spying, banker bailouts, lockdowns, vaccinating 6 month olds, destroying the currency and giving puberty blockers to 10 year olds are considered moderates.

Biden has had two years to end this war if he wanted to. It’s pathetic that you caved and this is a BS excuse.
Quote Tweet
Today, I withdrew from consideration by the U.S. Senate my War Powers Resolution after the Biden administration agreed to continue working with my office on ending the war in Yemen.

I see people calling the outrage about this stuff ‘a moral panic’ or claiming that it isn’t happening or happens very rarely. I don’t actually know exactly how prevalent this is, but it blows my mind that we can’t all agree that it’s disgusting and intolerable.

Well said. Thank you. No one should be dehumanized and we should all try to keep a “there but for the grace of God” attitude. At the same time we can be honest about the reality of these situations. We don’t have to pretend the low and the high are just two equal choices.

I'm a former escort and I get what you're saying. And tbh, while I thoroughly enjoyed my time with clients, it was hollow. Sex with an emotional connection is completely different. Our hookup culture shouldn't be celebrated, but SWers shouldn't be dehumanized. Easy peasy

Jesus. You may see no difference between dating and prostitution but the overwhelming majority of people see a difference so obvious that it’s laughable to equate them. You ought to be free to live life as you’d like, but you have no right to demand others don’t judge it.

So sex after a man pays for a date is fine but sex for cash isn’t? This is too stupid even for you.

My people have been warning about the easy money policies that have blown up the bubble and brought us to this point.

Well comedian. I hope your recession goes well since it was your people that continue to spend causing it to balloon.

So, if a drug addict traded his kids college money for heroin and I thought that should be stigmatized, that would be at odds with libertarianism? It’s a free exchange after all. Ridiculous. Lots of things should be legal and still be judged. This logic is awful.
Quote Tweet
Replying to @ComicDaveSmith and @reason
The idea that sex between consenting adults suddenly becomes inherently immoral because cash changes hands is without merit and is fundamentally at odds with a framework based on the idea that free exchange is, in fact, good

That’s the point of raising rates, to cause a recession to make up for the overheating inflation. The thing is that, while painful, recessions are healthy. It’s like detox. It’s brutal but the problem was the drug addiction, painful withdrawals are the solution.
Quote Tweet
If the Fed raises rates again next week, the recession will be greatly amplified

There’s no readership here, it was a video on YouTube. I’m not claiming that YouTube comments perfectly represent libertarian audiences. I’m saying that libertarian audiences largely reject this stuff and this comment section is one demonstration of that.
Quote Tweet
Reason commenters make up a very small percentage of our readership, and are largely people who hate everyone on staff and all of our work, on any subject. They’re in now way representative of “libertarian audiences” overall

Stigmas are literally THE libertarian solution to undesirable voluntary acts.
Quote Tweet
Replying to @ComicDaveSmith and @reason
I would think “stigmatizing” things would be perfectly fine within Libertarianism. Maybe the government outlawing it should be wrong. But morals can still exist in libertarianism, right? So if a community or group of people want to discourage immorality, stigmas help

It’s pretty interesting to see the disconnect between the latest video, arguing for “destigmatizing” sex work (whatever that means) and the vast majority of the comments. Libertarian audiences reject this libertine nonsense.

Your rise to prominence was due to your heroic stance against a dominant, totalitarian ideology in universities backed by government force. You took on the most powerful institutions in the world. Now you’re attacking 17 yr olds in their boxers for shit posting online.

This is ridiculous. This “principle” refers to unoccupied land that you’re not improving. It doesn’t refer to land that you’re living on. I can’t just say “I think I could do more with your house, it’s mine now”

Why not just release all of the Twitter Files at once to all independent journalists? It’s not like these are CIA declassified documents, where we have to deal with the BS “sources and methods” claims. Why the slow roll to hand picked journalists? I like Tiabbi, but don’t get it.

Good thread on yesterday’s debate:
Quote Tweet
Listening to the debate on Ukraine-Russia between @ComicDaveSmith, @Friended4Ever, & Sitch (who blocked me for debunking his claims on Ukraine). So far it's going a lot better, as far as keeping it a polite coherent conversation, but Sitch is clearly lacking in this discussion.
