 I’ve entered some kind of low probability multiverse wavefront where alex jones is a  reasonable sounding person in my x feed https://i.nostr.build/nWk0q.jpg

 Oof! It gave me chills. 🔥 
 a side effect of #nostr 
 As bitcoiners / Nostriches we’ve basically all been wandering through The Backrooms of society for a long while…

 The problem with Alex is that the 3% of the time he’s actually right about something emboldens him to stick to what he’s saying for the other 97% where he’s completely off his rocker. 
 I love that homeschooling is at the top of the list, as it should be. Teaching the kids liberty and critical thinking can't happen while people are sending them to the state indoctrination detention centres everyday 🙈 
 The upside down world…all the things good for us, the opposite narrative is presented. 
 
Sounds great except for all the kids that get trapped in a home prison with a shit teacher for their entire childhood..... 
 Thing is though, in 16 years home educating, I never thought or seen that once. What I have seen is consistent evidence of the terrible and heartbreaking damage done to kids every day by the state (and private) school system. This is from meeting 1000s of families in person over the years and reading thousands of stories in online home education groups, where parents post looking for help and support. 
 The time between conspiracy theory and the news is rapidly compressing. The things Alex Jones said would happen a decade ago happened in 2020. The things Alex Jones said would happen in 2020 happened in 2021. At the rate things are accelerating, by 2025 the wildest theories Alex Jones says will be less extreme than what the news reported matter of factly last week.

 I dunno. how we ever came to believe NeoLibs who push forever wars and run cover for corporate and political corruption are more reasonable than that dude is beyond me. 
 Anarchy was the way of life in Ireland for hundreds of years and sustained a very high standard of living with a comparatively low rate of violence among many other benefits. They didn’t teach me this in school. Thanks Mr Rothbard…… 
 The socialist public school systems will never tell you the truth about individual liberty and individual free agency. 
 Quite. It’s something that needs addressing.

Anarchy means everything is Voluntary! Treat others the way you want to be treated!  
 Yes, this is where Rothbard brings up the Irish example. I’m listening to his History Of Economic Thought at the moment and in there he discusses the first known anarchist thinker in China, hundreds of years BC. 
 Insanity.  Everyone knows anarchy is an infinite number of bricks thrown through an infinite number of windows in perpetuity, until the cops show up.  Oh wait that's Antifa 
 Always has been. 
 Sounds like Afghanistan  
 I have always had belief he is a plant to manipulate minds into thinking there is this one guy on our side. Years on I am still not convinced…
