There are no #libertarians in a bank run. No sooner had VCs whipped each other into a terrified Twitter frenzy at the collapse of #SVB - a collapse caused by that frenzy - than the #AynRand-poisoned elites started begging for Uncle Sucker for handouts:

Now, on the one hand, it's easy to dismiss these guys as very, very, very stupid. After all, they played a game of #PrisonersDilemma in which they were allowed to talk to each other as much as they wanted - and they still sold each other out:

John McAfee, 2016: “I have multiple teenage girlfriends who I pay to 💩 in my mouth.”
Libertarian Party: “cool, we want you to run for President!”
Scott Ritter, 2023: “I never touched an underage girl in my life.”
#Libertarians: “pedophile! Shut up!”

Maybe @RealScottRitter should seek the nomination of the @LPNational , just to eff with them, lol 😝
The stories about the late John McAfee’s wild sexual escapades may or may not have been true. He too was targeted (and eventually murdered, I believe) by the Deep State.
We gave John the benefit of the doubt, and should give Ritter the same courtesy.

🧵DYK Conservative communications expert advice from Arthur Finkelstein is the common thread running through the recent history of the Republican Party, from Ayn Rand to Richard Nixon and on to Donald Trump? Finkelstein is famous for turning the word "liberal" into a curse word
Simple but effective.
#Finkelsteinformula: every successful political campaign needs an enemy
#FinkelThink: trademark someone as liberal, slander them, repeat endlessly
#Finkelsteinmethod: use fear as a motivator #ragefarming: causing one's opponent to lose critical votes

Every night at 8PM Central this weekend, I’ll be showing episodes of my recent talk with two American #communists, Tyler McConnell @tjmac87 and @RealCalebMaupin.
In Part 2 of “Making Alliances,” we ask: “what do #libertarians and Communists agree on?”

Lol I know this show will trigger some folks who might say that libertarians and communists can’t agree on a damn thing, but watch and you might be surprised!
Perhaps @RealSpikeCohen, @angela4LNCChair, and @ComicDaveSmith would enjoy this conversation as well. ☝️

There is no libertarian party of America. I don’t care what these fascists tell you dear friends. Don’t ever pick their candidates. Don’t fund them. Don’t support them. They are lie. Defining principle of libertarianism is non aggression followed by property rights.
Russian libertarians, actual libertarians, sit in jail for opposing Russian aggression. They ran to exile screaming to West to stop Russian aggression. They have been disappeared to stand for freedom. Same with every libertarian group across Eastern Europe. In Belarus
Half of opposition is dead or in jail. In Ukraine, birth place of libertarianism, our libertarians are dying to defend property and fight Russian genocide. Mises who founded this movement, is Ukrainian and born in Lviv
in 2015 the so called, dark money funded, think tank, the Tax Payers Alliance published their far right wish list for reducing the state and minimising taxes for the wealthy, this is a thread of *just* the contents!!
(1/4) My tolerance for “Well meaning but misguided #Democrats” and “#Libertarians who want to stand up for the cause” has finally been thoroughly exhausted.
I’m not being alarmist when I say @POTUS and his radical #Leftist are attempting a power grab…

By doing things like ending the filibuster and electoral college in addition to making DC a state and lowering the voting age…

I don’t care if you find republicans distasteful… if you’re being attacked by a Bear and you need a weapon to fight it off…

First, check out this remarkable @Techcrunch article called "Geeks for Monarchy".
Long before the 2016 election brought us a #Trump/#Putin/#Theil/#AltRight mashup of craziness, @klintron laid out this #antidemocracy ideology waaaaaay back in 2013.

@CoachFelecia From time-to-time, ethnic personalities similar to that of #AndyNgo have appeared in right-wing movements ..
You just have to look for them.
These "ethnic" individuals aren't there to discover the truth!

@CoachFelecia They are their to provide a service. That is their value.
What is the service? They are weaponized to confuse the public while empowering "lily-white" delusions about black people.

For #Sydney psychic reading client: It's quite a challenge to identify how much corruption is really going on in our world. We have criminals who hide behind oligarchs & politics using our financial entities. Our regulatory systems have been underfunded for self regulation. #fact
cont. for #Sydney psychic reading client: The #libertarians don't want government to rule over them, but you have corrupt, self interest entities, that fail to self regulate in real terms. This is where you get corruption with online security, technology, digital weaponization.
cont. for #Sydney psychic reading client: There are not enough checks and balances to stop the systems being abused. You can see Trump is trying to remove judiciary in the USA, desperate to stop any real scrutiny of what criminals are doing behind government. It is out of control
The #KochNetwork, avatar of the tea party, rejects #shutdown protests politi.co/2XX4n4z via @politico AFP board member states “I think there's been a lesson...We saw what we wanted in the #teaparty. It didn’t work out like we’d like. And now we’re much more practical.”
Multiple conservative groups that have been longtime allies of the #KochNetwork network, such as FreedomWorks and #TeaParty Patriots, have led the #shutdown protests. Even the CEO of #ALEC has signed on.
Art Pope, owner of #NorthCarolina politicians, is a co-founder of AFP-NC with David Koch, and often called "Koch Jr". When asked about the #KochNetwork’s position on the current wave of #protests, Pope said “I’ll let them speak for themselves". #NCleg
