I had a chuckle when I saw a notification that the latest episode of The Tom Woods Show successfully downloaded this morning. A title a bit too fitting for its spot in the show’s enormous audio library, I’d say:
The episode’s feature is actually an interview from 2014. The frustration of the libertarian right–for which Tom Woods is one of the most eloquent and accessible spokesmen–at that time is impossible to miss. That libertarianism became a pipeline to the alt right seems bemusing now, but as the episode illustrates, it was easier to understand five years ago that it does today.
To be crystal clear, I am not implying this was at all intentional on Woods’ part. There’s a good chance he doesn’t even know what the nefarious number string refers to.
++Addition++Ha, maybe not:
It’s a sad commentary on The Current Year that as good a guy as Woods feels compelled to dance around an innocuous sequential number but maybe an episode about fractional reserve banking or something would’ve been better if it really was a deciding factor. The Loser Brigade is sure to claim he doth protest too much!

OK, you got me. I don’t know anything about Tom Woods, and I don’t know the significance of 1488. It’s not a prime number, being even. It’s a rational, whole number. OK, that’s all I got – John Derbyshire?
It was the year Bartholomeus Diaz discovered Mosselbaai, but, then, the only Bartholomews I know are named Simpson and Cubbins, and obviously Mosselbaai wasn’t that important of a discovery, as I don’t know where TF in the world it is.

14 words = “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,” a white nationalist motto. (Relatively inoffensive, but it is used that way.)

14 stands for “the Fourteen Words” (“We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,”) and 88 for HH, “Heil Hitler” , it’s a code that was/is used by white nationalists but has now become more of a meme.

FWIW, 88 is Ham-Radio speak for Hugs and/or Kisses, usually to the XYL of the operator to whom one was speaking. Has been used far longer than the current misuse.
The Hitlerian angle is indeed a stretch, though there was this scary thing which fired 88mm projectiles. Coincidence? It was designed for Anti-aircraft, but the Germans learned early on that it was a very effective tank killer.

Tom Woods is an entertaining writer when he writes. He’s gone to podcasts for most of his work, but here’s a little free ebook from him on AOC:
http://www.aociswrong.com/
Libertarianism is a hoot (and I should know, I was a card-carrying member of the LP once.)
I used to notice that the LP was doomed to small numbers because it was a way-station between the RNC and libertarian anarchism, where only people too stupid to see the oxymoron of an “anti-state” political party remained with it.
In recent years I realized (for myself) that only people too blind to see human nature remained libertarian anarchists. I now would trade “market-based” order (libertarian anarchism), constitutional republics and democracy for a benign hereditary-monarchy any day of the week.
People like Woods (and Lew Rockwell) are like the rest of us, generally trapped in the ideas on which we base our entire worldview. As Butler Shaffer often quoted, “The map is not the territory.” The mental map by which people navigate their lives is a ridiculously over-simplified version of infinite reality, and people’s actions diverge from sanity (or clear-mindedness) the more their map differs from the reality it purportedly represents.
The libertarian map is just as estranged from the laws of human nature as is that of communists.
That is an insightful self description of yourself. Monarchy and a market place order are not mutually exclusive. Its too bad your "over simplified mental map" does not acknowledge this.
There ain’t no damn thing as so-called “fractional reserve banking” in the USA anymore.
I do get what you mean by using the term “fractional reserve banking” though. It’s just that the American Empire is an electronic empire and fractions in electronics might not do so well. Even Dennis Hopper was ranting about not being able to do some damn thing on a fraction or something or other in Apocalypse Now or some other movie.
Now it’s electronic numbers and decimals and the like. Fractions are for algebra or some other thing.
Once again, I’ll say that that guy of recent German American ancestry named Ron Paul has been the most radical candidate to do well in recent American history. Don’t let this guy’s “aw shucks I’m just a country doctor” routine fool you one bit. Ron Paul was going after the globalizer central banker shysters and that is where guy’s with big balls and big hearts and big guts go to stir up some politics! I don’t like Ron Paul’s push for more mass legal immigration, but on monetary policy Ron Paul is right on the money.
Monetary policy is the big dog in the front yard of global politics and very evil globalizer scoundrels will do everything they can to maintain control over monetary policy. That goes for the Chinese Communist Party and the JEW/WASP ruling class in the American Empire and the Euro-filth plutocrats who control the European Central Bank. Nation state sovereignty is under attack by the mere existence of the ECB and World Bank and the IMF and the like. All globalizer central banks must be destroyed or put to use to benefit all citizens of individual nations, not just the money-grubbing scum who bang their damn rice bowl the closest to the electronic money conjuring apparatus of the globalizer central banks.
For instance, the Pewitt Conjured Loot Portion(PCLP) will give each American citizen with all blood ancestry born before 1924 in the USA or colonial America ten thousand dollars a month. The PCLP will get the Federal Reserve Bank to conjure up dollars out of thin air to benefit all Americans who have a certain duration of blood ancestry in the USA or colonial America.
Trump the Finance and Insurance and Real Estate guy is now calling for the federal funds rate to go to zero again or below zero to negative interest rates.
Trump is basically calling for a currency devaluation move that will lead to a currency war. I’m all for it.
Trump’s call for negative federal funds rate will kill globalization and financialization deader than a dodo!

I have always found it strange that libertarians embrace The Foutainhead.
At its core is the simple claim that a man’s (person’s) creation is their and nothing can be done to it or with it such as he prescribes with their consent. And that to any change or ‘unagreed’ use is an infringment such as to render said creation worthy of destruction if the creator so decides.
Imagine what that would do to film, writing, architecture, etc. That is a very powerful rejection of creative destruction and the copywrite and other intellectual property infringement based on the argument that it has more effeciant uses and that alone constitiutes a right of infringement —
for the called and over used
“greater good”.
Much or most of libertarianism is simply a way to attack European Christendom or spiritual and ancestral bonds that must be maintained to ensure civilizational survival.
The Alt-Right — named after Prussian Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Carol Alt — is the natural home for White Christians initially attracted to the seemingly commonsensical structural parts of libertarianism. But once people listen to this nonsense crud from libertarians for a bit you realize that there is no wonder or tragic sense or heroical spirit or anything else from libertarianism besides a cover for the greed of the money-grubbers in the Koch Boys Mob.
Libertarianism was a nasty ideological scam from the get-go designed to keep plutocrat treasonites such as the Koch boys in power.
Libertarianism, to be kind, is about structural forms. But what the libertarian boobs won’t admit is that all the structural forms they want everybody to adhere to emanate from European Christendom and the European Christian people. You could throw in the pre-Christian European Pagans too.
All of this disgusting slop about this or that from the libertarians is hogwash.
Why don’t the libertarians go to Detroit to enjoy their “Free State” politics? The answer is that the libertarians are hypocrites who run like cowards away from any honest discussion of race and ethnicity and ancestry.
Attention all you Libertarian Party louts in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and New Hampshire:
Remember to vote straight down the line LIBERTARIAN PARTY in the 2020 elections!
My calculation is that between 3 and 8 percent of White Christians in Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida and New Hampshire will refuse to vote for Donald “In The Largest Numbers Ever” Trump and the mass legal immigration extremists in the Republican Party. If you add all the Libertarian Party voters to the patriotic White Christians who patriotically refuse to vote for Trump and the Republican Party treasonites, that will be enough to begin the necessary demolition of the nation-wrecking Republican Party.

Last month I wrote about the Facebook censorship policies, which are much more detailed than the Google policies.This one is the kicker though, if they enforce it as much as they theoretically could: Dissident politics is banned. They also ban "immigration status" without the add-on that Facebook has where "immigration policy" can still be criticized. So using "illegal alien" can only be used in a legalistic context.From what I infer, Google moderation is less developed than Facebook, and is more frequently outsourced to "Trusted Flaggers" and non-US censors.
The easiest way around these policies is to attack individuals, particularly politicians, and scrupulously avoiding anything that even hints at violence. Attacking groups is a surefire way to lose.

The prejudice questions in general are awful for us. The public is moving in the direction of "authoritarian civility", and I can't see how this is anything but our fault. (Yes, we have agency, and should expect the media to lie)

"Mandatory buyback" is the product of focus groups. They will do anything to avoid the word "confiscation".
Ideally we need to forge a countersectional link between a gun confiscation and the South Africa farm expropriation.

Last month I wrote about the Facebook censorship policies, which are much more detailed than the Google policies.
This one is the kicker though, if they enforce it as much as they theoretically could: Dissident politics is banned. They also ban “immigration status” without the add-on that Facebook has where “immigration policy” can still be criticized. So using “illegal alien” can only be used in a legalistic context.
From what I infer, Google moderation is less developed than Facebook, and is more frequently outsourced to “Trusted Flaggers” and non-US censors.
The easiest way around these policies is to attack individuals, particularly politicians, and scrupulously avoiding anything that even hints at violence. Attacking groups is a surefire way to lose.
And of course our friends don’t include “Political Ideology” as a protected class.
Conservatives are the true model minority you are encouraged to discriminate against.
Facebook moderation has a different root cause, presumably "cyberbullying" and "revenge porn".

A frequent leftist complaint is that content moderators are often not FAANG employees, but hired by Indian contractors. Forcing more "techletariat" under the Big Social roof would presumably add unionization risk.

This is almost certainly a Big 5 contractor. I presume the reason they don't allow "remote work" (which would dramatically curb expenses) is the risk of embarassing internal policies leaking out.
One major think to be thinking about: A Dem President and Dem Congress will surely lift the cap on H-1B visas. Many of those H-1B(X) might be censors.

The easiest way around is to communicate offline. I ultimately think trying to work around these type of policies is doomed to fail. They will ban whoever they want (all of us) under whatever pretext they want. There is no referee, and they are muh private companies. They already know who they want to ban, the rules are just the excuse they give. There’s a limited amount of mileage (if any) left to get out of “we followed all the rules and those libruls banned us anyway” soon (if not already) we just look like losers. I do agree that picking an individual target and attacking that individual target is a good strategy.
The system wants to ensure that only Shapiro and Prager type content is the only thing allowed for the Right. But at the same time, a lot of the left are unaware of this and have attacked both content creators. When it looked like Prager was going to get banned, Conservative Inc suddenly discovered a use for regulation!
So if we are still maintaining (non-producing) accounts on Big Social, reporting anything borderline by these two is very beneficial.Replies: @iffen
I encourage “self-deplatform” for a reason. I followed PrisonPaul onto Telegram, for the most part unless you post pron they don’t ban.
This is actually very important. Cons are very deveoted to principle, and fair play is a classical Anglo-Saxon value. Conservatives have a huge bias against government regulation, viewing it as a last resort. They must be pushed onto that “fatal ground”.

Which is a fatal flaw. Their opposition has no doubt that the ends-justify-the-means and operates with this in mind. Meanwhile their victims get Watsoned or worse and fall upon their own swords of muh free speech, muh liberties, muh academic freedom.
When it comes to white liberals, they won't wake up until they are actively rejected by non-whites. Think of the massive majority for LBJ in '64, followed by major rioting that contributed to the Nixon victory in '68 where Humphrey was down to 42% of the vote. Blacks returned the favor of civil rights laws with rioting and crime.
The path I went personally into dissident politics has a lot to do with personal disgust at black jubilance at the re-election of Obama. I had drunk the mainstream conservative Kool-aid that we were "reaching out" for a "fresh start" with blacks. There was also that "unskewed polls" thing, that made the scale of Romney's loss and leftist gloating quite an unpleasant surprise.
Another vista, if you are familiar with Longmire on Netflix. The series is based off a book about a sheriff in the rural Western US, with nearly every episode being about homicide (if this was a real county it would be at Brazil levels of violence). Unusually for a mainstream show, there's no hagiography of the Indians. The reservation is run by a mob boss, who had a backstory as a terrorist.
The sheriff's daughter is a do-gooder white liberal, who in the latter part of the series is paid to run an NGO on the reservation by the mob boss with his casino revenue. They intially welcome her, and give her the white liberal apotheosis by making her an "honorary tribal member". But they turn on her because of their "anti-vaxxer" attitudes. Here the writers got ahead of themselves, as they portrayed a "white savior" as unironically good, and non-whites as outright evil. It's almost unthinkable in mainstream television. Obviously the writers weren't going to transform the do-gooder into a race realist; but this ending probably would have been more compelling.
That's where things will have to get before people have decided that both cheeks have been turned and thus slapped; making it acceptable to fight back. People will need to have their illusions shattered, and that is something that even mainstream conservatives balk at.Replies: @iffen
Let me summarize a little from those 2 comments. You like Ron Paul, excepting his aggravating insistence that immigration won't bring in millions who couldn't give a rat's hootie about Libertarian principles (or at least, that's MY take) Great.
Dr. Paul is a Libertarian, and he'd be the first to tell you.
You think Libertarianism is an evil of an almost incomprehensible magnitude, oh !!

I got caught up in my own honorably righteous and much needed rant against the evils of libertarianism and I spelled a word wrong.
That Is Their Animating…
They’re — There — Their
They’re bringing their own beer over there. That’s nice of them!
The Alt-Right -- named after Prussian Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Carol Alt -- is the natural home for White Christians initially attracted to the seemingly commonsensical structural parts of libertarianism. But once people listen to this nonsense crud from libertarians for a bit you realize that there is no wonder or tragic sense or heroical spirit or anything else from libertarianism besides a cover for the greed of the money-grubbers in the Koch Boys Mob.
Libertarianism was a nasty ideological scam from the get-go designed to keep plutocrat treasonites such as the Koch boys in power.
Libertarianism, to be kind, is about structural forms. But what the libertarian boobs won't admit is that all the structural forms they want everybody to adhere to emanate from European Christendom and the European Christian people. You could throw in the pre-Christian European Pagans too.
All of this disgusting slop about this or that from the libertarians is hogwash.
Why don't the libertarians go to Detroit to enjoy their "Free State" politics? The answer is that the libertarians are hypocrites who run like cowards away from any honest discussion of race and ethnicity and ancestry.
Attention all you Libertarian Party louts in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and New Hampshire:
Remember to vote straight down the line LIBERTARIAN PARTY in the 2020 elections!
My calculation is that between 3 and 8 percent of White Christians in Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida and New Hampshire will refuse to vote for Donald "In The Largest Numbers Ever" Trump and the mass legal immigration extremists in the Republican Party. If you add all the Libertarian Party voters to the patriotic White Christians who patriotically refuse to vote for Trump and the Republican Party treasonites, that will be enough to begin the necessary demolition of the nation-wrecking Republican Party.Replies: @Audacious Epigone
