Comments on: UPDATED (1/22): NEW COLUMN Offers A Hardcore Libertarian Take On The Storming Of The Capitol Building https://barelyablog.com/new-column-offers-a-hardcore-libertarian-take-on-the-storming-of-the-capitol-building/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Matt Ray https://barelyablog.com/new-column-offers-a-hardcore-libertarian-take-on-the-storming-of-the-capitol-building/comment-page-1/#comment-26121 Mon, 25 Jan 2021 05:10:24 +0000 https://barelyablog.com/?p=150616#comment-26121 Very powerful and necessary article. While I haven’t kept up with Breitbart, I’ve seen the responses from the Beltway libertarians and they’re indistinguishable from CNN complete with the platitudes about democracy, which, of course, has nothing to do with freedom. Indeed, many are the same people who cheered on BLM and their destruction of *private* property, which is the key for any libertarian worthy of the name. Also, as you’ve rightfully pointed out, BLM are, above all, anti-white. Yet, we don’t hear a word about this from Con Inc., though we hear about imaginary white supremacists endlessly, including on Fox News. Contrary to Matt LaBash, it’s very easy to distinguish the protestors at the Capitol from Antifa. The former took on a vast criminal enterprise while the latter terrorize right-wing dissidents – private citizens – with no political power to prevent them from exercising their first amendment rights. And under the regime of anarcho-tyranny, they’ve increasingly succeeded with no opposition worth mentioning from Con Inc. and the Beltway libertarians. Ultimately, I see secession as both necessary and inevitable so it’s my hope that this experience has more Trump voters questioning the union made compulsory by Lincoln.
