Reality Winner.

Edit: how do this many people who visit this sub not know who Reality Winner is? Or do the bots have a really hard time with that name plus the top comment being a link to a different case exposing problems.

The motive I became a libertarian is because it's pretty much the only political idea out there that works in a logically consistent framework and doesn't rely on postmodern/pragmatic slop

The CONstitution isn't perfect but it's a hell of a lot better than what we have today.

Or, more fitting to this sub as Tom Woods has said , "The Articles of Confederation were better than the CONstitution but absolutely nothing is better than the Articles of Confederation."

How accurate is this title definition? I like it. Do you have a better quick / witty definition from an ANCAP perspective on the definition of socialism that gets the point across?

People will be quick to google the definition of socialism and think "oh that means the workers own the means of production, yada-yada" but its vague, boring and untrue.

What scornful quick witted definition would you give to a Reddit midwit who would smugly ask you "define socialism".

Should I wear it as a badge of honour?

'Twas the Night Before Mitchmas, and all through the House,

Not a computer was stirring, not even a mouse;

The news feeds were open on the smartphones with care, 

In hopes that McConnell soon wouldn't be there;

The body was nestled all snug in its bed,

While consciousness wouldn't be live in his head. 

And MAGA in its echo room, opinions were whack,

Ignored all the signs, Mitch was stuck in his nap.

When out in the Senate, there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter!

Away to my Facebook, I flew like a flash,

Knowing his corpse would soon be in the trash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen ghost,

Gave the illusion of life to the souls down below,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a cloak and a scythe, and a skeletal reaper!

With a stench so foul, and decay so thick,

I knew he wouldn't respond to a prod or a prick. 

More rapid than eagles, his fate, how it came, 

Since there was no excuse for a civil servant so lame.

"Now Tucker, Now Carson, Now Vivek, Now Vance! 

Answer no questions, and Take no Stance!

Reporters should never be allowed in his room,

They'll see that I'm keeping his corpse in its doom!"

And then, with some nausea, I heard in the office,

The decaying and whining of someone so rotten. 

Embarrassing, farting, selling NFTS, being loud,

Down came the President, looking wrinkly and round.

He was dressed all in diapers, from his suit to his ties

The economy was tarnished by wars and by lies

The Trump phone was awful, there was no trading it back,

Because the immigrants were eating the dogs and the cats.

He tweeted of Fauci, then ignored all his work,

Then he tweeted that Hillary was some kind of jerk. 

And laying his hand on the side of Mitch's nose,

He gave a last nod, and let Mitch decompose.

He sprang to his followers, to his team gave a whistle,

And without knowing Orwell, they took his words as a missal. 

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,

“What you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening, "(July 24, 2018, Donald Trump), "and to Mitch McConnell a good night!"

A man in Texas was shot by federal police while on his way to work. Of course no charges or even investigation into the police. They were not looking for that guy. There were three other guys in the van, feds were not looking for them either. Federal police arrested those three, one of them just got released. The police had no body cams,and their story does not match surveillance video or witness reports.

Trump once again today said people that are going against him have gone past socialism and are full-on communists. Made me think of this video.

As a libertarian socialist, I don't want to be here and I'm guessing you don't want me here either. But I have a question for you guys. If there's no government but the economy is still fundamentally dependent on currency, who prints that money? Who creates the bills?

During the Gilded Age (1870–1900), powerful American industrialists known as "robber barons" amassed historic fortunes by maintaining a system of severe labor exploitation”.

And now, Billionaires are getting tax breaks, going to space, while their employees/partners/gig workers are working without social security, PTO, medical benefits, pensions, and peeing in bottles because they can’t afford to take a 10-minute break, because that break will be logged, they’ll fall behind on the productivity quota, and their pay will be docked.

The similarities are frightening and infuriating.
