Another case of act failing to be libertarian today I think. Although the other one was about action against slavery and this would be about deregulating bread. So, swings and roundabouts, I guess I'm saying.

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

Important to recall that the Great Depression already started in the 1920s with significant deflation of agricultural commodity prices (in a world where 50% of trade was still raw materials and most people farmers/peasants). manufacturing is today's equivalent and China is of course the epicenter.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

It is literally false that the Jews being hunted by Nazis were citizens, because the first step toward genocide was stripping them of citizenship and making them stateless. As Arendt reminds us, citizenship is a legal category created to facilitate a machinery of exclusion of the out-group.
