Freedom is declining in America and around the world. Even more alarming is how few people oppose new authoritarian measures. Glenn Greenwald has sounded the alarm about ongoing attempts to curtail the First Amendment. Recently Greenwald described his experience as he listened to the “tyrannical goal” expressed at a Congressional hearing: “Words cannot convey how chilling and authoritarian this all is: watching government officials, hour after hour, demand censorship of political speech and threaten punishment for failures to obey.”
Totally agree with Jen! Just found you today. Everything you've written so far I totally agree with :-) Love that you expand beyond what most people are doing today, i.e., ranting, into building a principled case for your (our) views. Our mindset, if you will. (I tend to use the term "worldview" more frequently, but "same difference" I think.) Anybody who quotes Mises, Hayek, et al, and turns us on to Meerlo's book and quotes -- is somebody who clearly "gets it"! I'm going to see what else you've written, I found you via FEE.org today.

Beautiful. So glad you're writing on Substack and I don't have to use Facebook to hear your thoughts!
