To clarify: Easy conditions: ppl gud, want to go along to get along Under stress: ppl irrational, scared & looking for any leadership, while also taking advantage of situation to play out will to power and their psychopathies Overlords: start ripple, and then just surf the wave. Don't ever forget, that 80ft wave isn't a dude behind a curtain. It's the hysterical mothers that will their kids into dysphorias, phobias, anxiety comas. It's the bureaucrats with their ugly neurotic wives. It's the limp-wristed reddit males. It's the jelly spined, napkin, general population that will nod and say "oh you got all 5 types of jabs? well u can never be too safe!"

The Politics of Obedience by Étienne de La Boétie is a great essay on this. We need to laugh at the establishment, have joy. They hate it more than anything.

Congratulations on the pregnancy! Glory to God! I used to be an ancap and slowly began drifting away for similar reasons you listed. I was received into Holy Orthodoxy 3 years ago with my wife and two boys. Man requires transcendence, and without Christ, the world will give him competing doses of poison. We'll be praying for you and your family ☦☦☦

Nice to hear from you again, very insightful as always. Congratulations to you and your family on the new addition.

all this ends with massive non compliance, but that requires thought and that is rare right now. the harsh reality is that there are a lot and possibly a majority of people that just don't care what is happening or don't want to deal with the slightest inconvenience in pushing back against it.

Those litmus test examples were hilarious. Thanks

You’re expecting again? Good for you Julia

Congratulations on being pregnant with your third child! The more children you have the more beautiful and young you appear to look! My wife has the same gift! We have three daughters in their twenties and a son who's ten. When my wife goes out with our daughters people think she's the oldest of four sisters, not realising she's the mother of three daughters! God bless you and your growing family.

Congratulations on your amazing gift! ❤️ loved the video! 😌😌

So good. Thank you. ❤

its this reason i hate Australia (the country i live in) there were protests but for the most part people lapped up the restrictions and begged for more. I remember hearing co-workers whipped up into a frenzy simply because a uber driver crossed a state border while all the newspapers published his face with big bold letters "ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE". this country and its people are pathetic

It's people who are cultish and those who aren't

Congratulations! We are trying for our third now, prayers all around our loving families.

I love your pit idea!👌🏼

Thank you for what you do.

I am an anarcho-monarchist. And I agree we need Catholic monarchs.

Congrats on the pregnancy! Also, good points in the rant (come back! do more! lol)

Brilliantly said

I'd be interested to hear more about your thoughts on transitioning to monarchy. How do you think that might happen? How would a king arise, or be chosen? Next question, you mention it's easier to get rid of one king than one hundred senators. If monarchy is more desirable than democracy for this reason, it seems you may want to maintain a monarchy even if we must replace the monarch. In that case, who takes the throne? His son and heir, a collateral royal line (descendant of a previous king), or a noble family (if an aristocracy exists in this model)? To use the Windsors as an example, let's say Charles becomes king, and ends up being incompetent or evil, do we replace him with his son Prince William, his brother Prince Andrew, Duke of York, or perhaps the Duke of Norfolk (the premier peer of England)? If you have further thoughts on the idea, perhaps a whole video would be appropriate to discuss the kind of government you envision. Personally, I think monarchy is the most effective form of government if done correctly, meaning a lot of energy is spent training the heir and those close to the throne in governance to prepare them for the role. You also mention the desire for Christian monarchy, how do we ensure the king maintains obedience to Christ? Does the Church do that, or the people? Perhaps you haven't considered fleshing out these ideas, fair since it's extremely unlikely to come about, but if you are interested, I think it's an interesting topic.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Conservative Women are the most Beautiful, and you are proof of that!!!!!!!

Just about every time I hear a critique of ancap, I think to myself, "OK find me something better." But there is never anything better. Yeah, a monarchy has some good points (Hoppe has pushed that) but it probably mostly looks good because we are not suffering under one at the moment. Grass is always greener... 95% of the interactions I have with people are just fine, no problem. Anarcho-capitalism is like water to a fish. It's not to say I haven't drifted myself in some ways. I don't agree with what seems to be the ancap default on borders for example - but that is because the default is not really ancap, not because ancap is wrong. If there is no government, various borders still will be controlled. It's just that it will be the people who own that land who are doing it. Once we take care of the issue of pure survival, people should be ancap. If they are scared, tell them not to be. If they persist, and want to hire some strong men to stomp you, then kill those strong men or show them it's not in their interest. Most of those controllers are cowards anyway. You can get around cowards with a little creativity. Your life does not need to be run by them. Is it hard to be perfectly free? Yes. We are not living in Thoreau's time. But "close enough" is doable. Then the empire will crash, and we will be back to just trying to survive for a while. Life will become exciting.

Good rant!

Hey Julia! I miss you! Congrats on the pregnancy. Hope you are doing well!

More commentary always appreciated. Agree on politics. Congrats on another child!! My whole fam has covid right now. If you're in good health, it's a cold that annoyingly takes your taste/smell away at some point. Love from Albuquerque.

Congratulations all the best.

Congratulations🙏🏻

But remember, you're talking about people who have been immersed in a toxic media solution for their entire lives, who have no religion besides, as Zappa put it, "the slime comin' out of your T V set."

hope the family is doing well

Congratulations on the pregnancy! A very interesting rant, I quite agree with what you said about ancapism being a bit of a utopia. I really would like to hear more from you - I believe I remember you started a Telegram channel after you deleted your Twitter, but I can't seem to find it anymore. What's the name of the channel, if it does still exist?

Nice video. I think the way you’re thinking about the whole ancap vs monarchy vs democracy thing is a bit flawed ironically for the same reason you give later in the video. Anarchy and monarchy are just as unlikely in today’s liberal western societies because the mass of people generally believe in democracy. If people believed in anarchy or monarchy, then either of them could be possible. I think the argument for anarchy is merely that it is more moral and a more economically efficient manner of social organization.

I tested this theory today. I just didn't wear a mask to the gym with a "oh shit, sorry, I forgot we're all still doing that"... and no one really said anything. Our gym instructor wanted to take a group photo in the end, I wouldn't let my mum grab hers (the other ladies in the class wore theirs, but I did see some of them questioning whether they should or not so I hope that's progress!). It's just so fucking retarded at this point to me.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! ❤️✝️

Jacques Ellul in his great book called Propaganda describes what he calls Horizontal Propaganda, which is what you are talking about here.We arrived through social media at the point where much more propaganda is coming from our fellow crabs in a pot than from the top down. I gave a lecture on this back in 2016 which you might find interesting. Thanks again for the sanity.

Ah, post-libertarianism. The pipeline strikes again

This is why I moved out to the mountains in the country. Gotta imagine the suburban life is hell right now, with all the authoritarian followers going crazy

Congrats

Hope the pregnancy goes well

You disabled comments on the relevant video, so congratulations on the new baby, and birth on your terms. I disagree on a lot of things, and that's okay, but you're absolutely right about how encroachment on liberty happens-or doesn't if there's mass non-compliance. Most people's biggest barrier to freedom isn't any particular leader, government in general, or corporations, it's themselves.

Congratulations.

My husband says the same thing about having all 4 covid jabs lol

80% of people will happily go along with whatever. This includes anarchy. If anarchy is the norm, most people will go along with that. People will give a wrong answer if everyone else in the room is also giving a wrong answer. We want to fit in

dota 2 at the back? you play? if so what mmr :D

"Some group of people are always going to coerce others so I want to get behind a specific group of people to coerce others" is self-fulfilling

Glad you are pregnant again. Isnt this the 3rd. Thank GOD there is still good in this world.

That's still ancap, monarchy is just some dude with lot of property

A monarchist? Oh really? Kim Jong-Un style? Or Nero style?

Need to find me a woman like Julia 🙏🏼

I suggest you get the vax. For you and your coming child. Do what you want. Wish you well, and congrats on the baby. Oh... also, wear a mask, social distance, and wash your hands. Best of luck.

You think Marxism looks good on paper? Why?

I feel you're struggling to reconcile your new view of a religious monarchy vs your old anarchism one. You say people need to be governed for society to run well, but then list 3 examples of top-down edicts being trumped by bottom-up rejection

What if 60% of people don't adhere to the murder laws? Glad the sheep agree murder is bad...
