As Étienne de la Boétie pointed out, the state is absolutely dependent on ideological support, without which it could not even command an army to force obedience from the public. Rothbard’s Anatomy of the State points out that the state acquires this support by means of its court intellectuals, who frame power as “public service,” while framing skepticism as childish, antisocial, or “conspiratorial”—especially the simple habit of asking cui bono (“who benefits?”). In a previous article, I highlighted the need for libertarians to criticize how academia and journalism can serve as the primary vehicles of state propaganda.Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is useful to libertarians because it targets legitimating…

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said that President Donald Trump was flooding the streets with “poorly trained agents who are shooting Americans in cold blood.” Schiff said, “It’s up to the state and local governments how they decide to prioritize their law enforcement.

You’re going to help us with massive Ice raids in urban centers, going after people who are simply undocumented and have no other criminal record. The federal…

He explained that he believes the videos speak for themselves. He continued, saying, “So I think very obviously, there are serious questions that are being raised.” “And I think the…
