Can you imagine a timeline where

celebrated their chair being invited to advise whole governments on reform, instead of promoting their chair going on a D-tier podcast to talk about anti-Semitic pseudoscience? Oh, what could have been. Excellent work regardless, JBH!
Ethan and I are in Poland after spending much of the week in Kyiv, where I was among 20 international experts invited by the Office of President Zelenskyy and the governing Servant of the People party to advise on a tax and anti-corruption reform package they are developing.

The mises caucus has done irreparable damage to the public perception of libertarianism. It will take a generation or more before we can shake the stigma theyโre going to leave behind on the party. That was intentional, by the way. Intentional, malicious sabotage.

Florida just passed the kidnap bill.
What does that mean? A child being trans, at all, is now considered an "emergency" that can be used to steal children from a loving parent. Allowing a child to be trans is "child abuse" that courts will stop.

Joe Bishop-Henchman was a visionary leader for the LP, one who took the party to heights of success we had heretofore never seen. If you want to win this party back from the sabotage caucus, and want to see it once again become a real force in American politics, read this thread
Really awful stuff.
I've had a lot of people reach out to me in the past couple weeks, as evidence of LNC mismanagement continues to accumulate and the mask continues to slip about their real, awful strategy. They want to know what I think, given I was formerly associated.

Friendly reminder that there are two legs to the libertarian intellectual tradition: classical liberalism and anarchism. And both were/are considered left-wing movements in their time. Paleoconservatism is incompatible with both of these proud traditions.

The LP has been pro LGBT+ since our founding in 1971. Our first presidential candidate was a gay man. We had our best results (votes, donors, members) when we were leading on social issues. Weโve had our worst results since the new regime came in and decided bigots were welcome.

Someone should explain to Mr. Rufo that, in a delegate system such as the LP uses, the delegates vote on behalf on the larger membership they represent, the LNC then makes decisions o behalf of the entire membership, not just the delegation that showed up for convention.

Ideally? Either the entire LNC resigning so that real libertarian professionals can once again take the reins, or just dissolving the national party entirely.

I only ever had one interaction with this guy. Only thing I knew about him was that he had a podcast. He asked me what I did with the party. After giving him a short list, he said โimpressive.โ I said, โyeah I have time to do all these things because I donโt have a podcast.โ
I already knew Joe van Wagner was one of the nastiest people Iโve ever met, so this tracks. But still, fuck you Joe. You wish you could be a fraction of the man Ed was.
