Charley Hardman is a major loser! All he does is complain about stupid, unimportant crap. I guess he has so much time to think about irrelevant nerd things because he his such a big loser in life. Someone please be his friend he’ll stop hating fun.
only one thing worse than being talked about.

That’s a weak complaint. A stronger complaint would be that most of your entries are about what’s wrong with the system rather than how to fix it.
E.g. you mentioned that you don’t believe voting for politicians is the way to restrict the government; I agree with that, but what ways would you recommend in particular? I haven’t seen any articles on what people can do yet (though I admit I haven’t been reading your blog for very long, only about a month).

paul, i know you’ve visited here enough that you shouldn’t be spouting such bullshit. would you think this site superior if i imitated hillary clinton and devised some “plan” for how “society” should run? the entire point of this site is that such affectations are utterly destructive.
get this straight, because it’s a goddamned joke that i even need to point it out to you: the solution is liberty. mutual, individual liberty. got it? it must be fought for individually, and defended at every opportunity. that is not accomplished by becoming a fan of any official crime syndicate agent (e.g., ron paul). can’t claim that i’ve not shouted it plenty throughout this site’s existence, and when i wrote for LRC. that the average dumbass in this world doesn’t give a flying fuck about liberty can hardly be submitted as a bill for me to pay. neither is it my fault that the solution is far more difficult than painting signs, shouting some dude’s name repeatedly, pissing on liberty, and considering voting-lever-pulling a faster route to orgasm than crank yanking.
disgusts me to my core that people like you think ron paul’s “message” is superior to the message of this site and other sane people who advocate active disavowal (snootily flicked away as “apathy” by RP fanatics with fewer brains than snot dribbling down their newbie faces). ron paul’s message is simply contradictory feel-good bullshit (“liberty via the coercive state! liberty via appealing to tyrants as a slave!”) that denies the most essential truth: happiness in human interaction relies upon individual integrity — an ingredient long in fading supply in this country, and not increasable via statism. statism, the core of ron paul’s dogma, is simply more of the disease..
BTW, karen filipelli’s bitch was pulled from a non-political site. apparently, the administrator deleted it — an action i disagree with, obviously, though censorship’s more appropriate there than somewhere like here.

I don’t mean some great plan. And I didn’t mean that Ron Paul’s message is superior to yours. I mean more like general recommendations as to what actions are effective in fighting for liberty. Fighting for liberty is vague, it’d be interest to see you write about what ways you in particular do that.
For instance, to take a random example, do you think that evading income tax or setting up a small farm somewhere and being self-reliant (as some people have done) is a good method? Or do you think that creating documentaries and art with pro-liberty messages is a good method? Or becoming a private school teacher and teaching liberty in that way? Or writing letters to the editor with pro-liberty positions?
To be clear, I’m not asking you to think for me about how to fight for liberty, I’m just saying that a lot of this blog seems like diagnosing a problem without taking any action on it, particularly the ‘I need to get out of here’ type sentiment. Calling out others on their lack of integrity won’t accomplish anything alone. I’m not saying you don’t do anything other than that, but from reading the blog that’s the impression I come away with of your main course of action.

first, this blog has never been intended as a place for liberty newbies, nor for anything beyond me blowing off steam, keeping a personal diary, yapping about shit, blah blah blah. though when i began it, i wanted many people to read it, that changed by about 2005, and i now freely and intentionally repel anyone who expects more from it.
what you’re projecting on this site is something i’m no longer interested in. still, however, these pages are riddled with what you claim to want to hear. you just need to put the pieces together yourself, since i’m no longer pathetic enough to pursue that holy grail magic wand bullshit of liberty geeks: “sure, that’s great and all, but what do we do?”
once i’d begun writing seriously for the liberty circuit, that schmaltz was painfully obvious. there is no holy grail. these assholes in the crime syndicate want us delivered one of two ways: 1) enslaved, or 2) dead. WTF is one to say positive about that, especially when self defense has been recomputed by the state — and thus the masses — to be shameful behavior. anyone interested in liberty in the US is surrounded by the enemy. you expect a pretty picture to emerge from that, you’re nuts.
and yeah, i know you’re saying you’re not, but i’m not buying it. my message could not be clearer: i do not know. i don’t even know how i can live freely, much less anyone else. i struggle with it every day. i do what i can in cop encounters, interaction with fedgoons, etc., but…
i’ve not found the holy grail. i do know that if one resists the state more than is comfortable, he’s contributing to liberty. i hope he doesn’t lose his life in the process, but these lives are being treated like shit anyway.
speaking of which, i just finished listening to this book. fucking embarrassing that entire juries anywhere in the US thought it acceptable to kidnap and lock in a cage for 60 years (and more) people who hadn’t harmed anyone. they are the enemy. good luck fighting them. it’s the only choice we have. how you fight is up to you. nobody right now can recommend an enhanced liberty path in the US that leads to anything but an earlier grave. not good times for freeborn men.
the solution is not to appeal to your captors. that much i know.

Karen Filipelli was the name of the character from the Stamford branch that Jim Halpert dated for awhile in Season 3 of The Office.
