Syria and China

Jen the Libertarian ·

The 1619 Project and Discussing Racism

Jen the Libertarian ·

2019/08/29

Ah yes, the infamous 1619 Project. I have read a good chunk of it (even past the first two essays) and have some thoughts on it and the reactions to it and the topic of discussing racism in America. Spolier alert - there are some good pieces in there you just have to make it past the crappy ones and not all conversations about racism are bad

Jen the Libertarian ·

2019/08/22

In my quest to reach out to the politically homeless I made a response to Bridget Phetasy's piece on the topic with (hopefully) helpful suggestions as to how libertarians can reach out to the ever increasing numbers of people leaving or being pushed out of their political parties Link to Bridget's piece - https://spectator.us/battle-cry-politically-homeless/

The El Paso Tragedy (And What We Can Learn From It)

Jen the Libertarian ·

2019/08/04

*warning - I do name the shooter and read / discuss the manifesto* After the mass shooting in El Paso I think its a good idea to have a discussion about motive, ideology, how everyone focuses on the wrong thing, and on how we need to look at ugly things to understand them

Jen the Libertarian ·

2019/08/01
