It's a big money maker for a few close people, and a huge distraction to the horrible job they are doing. Rinse and repeat. Many people seriously thought it was going to be different this time.

Lots of big government lovers here LARPing.

How can such even theoretically exist when so much is kept from "the people" and they are even lied to?

Orwell wrote that it was always the women—above all the young ones—who were the party’s most bigoted adherents. This wasnt a misogynistic comment but a psychological observation.

When tyranny is renamed empathy and compliance is renamed virtue, women adopt it first and weak men follow.

Men subsidize the state. The state provides for women. So men now fund through bureaucracy the families they were told they had no business leading directly.

I have conducted in-depth research into the mindset of the "Global Radical Left," and I have reached a terrifying truth: these people do not see the world realistically. Instead, they view it through "black and white" lenses governed by pure hatred. To them, everything Western is a symbol of evil—no matter how kind the system is, no matter how just, successful, or advanced the state is. Even if corruption is non-existent, reforms are abundant, and the state treats its people fairly, they will despise it and view it as an oppressive, evil, and tyrannical entity, regardless of the prosperity it provides.

Conversely, they view countries opposed to Capitalism and Western civilization as "absolute good," no matter how criminal, terrorist, or oppressive these regimes are. Even if they torture their own people, persecute them, and are failed, corrupt dictatorships, they are given a pass. The reason lies in the hatred that has blinded leftists—shutting their eyes to reality, closing their hearts to truth, and blinding their insight into life. Hatred has become the engine of their actions.

**Hypocrisy and the "Identity" of the Oppressor**

We see them posturing about defending the oppressed and standing up to tyrants. However, facts and reality have revealed the exact opposite, showing us that their ethics are nothing but a "coat hanger"—a pretext used only if the identity of the oppressor is a Western state or a white man.

Yes, as you read. The leftist does not care about injustice as an event or a condition; they categorize injustice based on a racist standard:

* Is the oppressor a white man?

* Is the oppressor a Western state?

* Does the oppressor apply the Capitalist system?

If the answer is "Yes," they see it as grounds to destroy, protest against, and attack them.

But if the oppressor is a communist, black, or non-white, they fall completely silent, as if they have vanished from the face of the earth. You could hear a pin drop due to their absence.

**The Gaza Test: A Blatant Double Standard**

The proof of this is the war in Gaza. In this war, leftists did not investigate the reason for its occurrence. They did not dig for the truth or question whether media narratives were real. They did not stop to think that Israel’s actions might be legitimate self-defense after being subjected to an attack by a terrorist organization named Hamas—an assault where this organization killed 1,400 Jews and took women as captives and sex slaves, as Hamas fighters proudly displayed in their own videos.

They did not consider that Israel is fighting a defensive war, not a colonial one; a war forced upon it, not one it chose. A war to liberate its hostages, where it spends blood and treasure to avoid killing innocents by issuing warnings to civilians, telling them where airstrikes will occur, using drones to warn them, or making direct calls. All of this was ignored because it does not fit their narrative.

**Iran: The Silence of the Grave**

However, we did not see the radical leftists protest or demonstrate regarding Iran and its events. They adhered to the silence of the mute, as if they had disappeared from the earth. Although the Iranian people are being crushed, killed, exterminated, and oppressed, we did not hear hashtags like #FreeIran, nor did we see protests filling the streets to stand with the Iranian struggle.

Despite the fact that injustice is one and humanity is one—the human in Gaza is no different from the human in Iran. In fact, while they claim Israel killed 50,000 Palestinians in three years, Iran killed 20,000 protesters in just two weeks! Yet, we did not see leftist influencers stand with the innocent in Iran, nor even tweet a single word, as if a people named "Iran" do not exist.

Leftists suffer from a detachment from reality. When reality displeases them, they isolate themselves from it and talk about other things to escape the responsibility they bound themselves to: defending the oppressed. But the events in Iran and Venezuela exposed the hypocrites and charlatans who pay lip service to human rights. These virtue signalers vanished when the Iranian people were being slaughtered.

**The "Good vs. Evil" Binary**

I am not surprised by this. As I said, leftists see the world in two colors:

* Capitalist/Western = Evil (no matter how just).

* Non-Western = Good (no matter how oppressive).

The leftist assigns value to human life based on their principles—elevating some and flattening others. Humanity, for them, depends on ideological criteria.

What is the identity of the oppressor? Is he a white man? No. Is the system Capitalist and Western? No. Therefore, the system is sacred to them, no matter how unjust, simply because it fights Capitalism. They will remain silent or even defend it fiercely, offering "indulgences" to these regimes and trying to cover up their crimes, even while the populations of these regimes are crushed.

**The Venezuela Example & The Paradox of Alliances**

Look at how they supported the Maduro regime. Leftists marched for him, forgetting his crimes and human rights violations, forgetting the hunger, poverty, injustice, unemployment, economic collapse, and fear that the Venezuelan people lived under. They do not care about human rights or tragedies because they have not lived what oppressed peoples have lived.

They are the ones eating McDonald's, drinking Coke, weighing 200 pounds, yet demonstrating for dictatorial regimes whose people cannot find a bite to eat.

It is obvious that leftists possess "moral blindness" and "humanitarian blindness." Humanity is not a moral value to them, but a tool, an object, a weapon to fight their opponents, driven by ideologies that determine who is human and who is not. Humanity has become a commodity they trade to attack Western adversaries.

**The Absurd Alliance with Islamism**

Even more ridiculous is their alliance with radical Islam. They defend it despite the fact that Islam forbids homosexuality and transgenderism, and indeed commands the killing of homosexuals by stoning. It is a laughable paradox: the leftist who advocates for LGBT rights allies with the radical Muslim who advocates for stoning LGBT people, solely to fight Western civilization.

This reminds me of the stupidity of Iranian leftists who allied with Khomeini to overthrow the Shah, only for Khomeini to kill, execute, imprison, and torture them—especially leftist women.

Radical leftists claim to stand for women's rights, yet they ally with ideologies that restrict women, force the hijab on them, and permit beating them. This toxic marriage between two opposites—Islamism and the Radical Left—exists only to strike at Western civilization because of its superiority and greatness.

**The True Nazis**

They are far removed from humanity. Radical leftists are merely hypocritical, lying, and deceitful groups suffering from narcissism and moral superiority without actual will. They are like a herd of sheep, directed by the media, leftist lobbies, and the deep state like obedient robots. They try to force their ideas on others—like homosexuality and gender transition—without respecting others' feelings or opinions.

When someone disagrees, they accuse him of being a Nazi, Fascist, or Racist. Ironically, the Nazis used to accuse anyone who rejected their forced ideas of being a Communist, a traitor, or a Jew.

Thus, we find that **the true Nazis are the Leftists**. Both do not respect opposing opinions; both lean towards force, brutality, and terrorism when they fail to prove their ideas through argument and debate.

We saw this when they character-assassinated and tried to silence **Charlie Kirk** because they were unable to debate him or refute his evidence. When they failed to silence him with words, they tried force. We also saw this in the assassination attempt on **Donald Trump** and the incitement to assassinate **Elon Musk**.

**Mental Illness and Mass Hysteria**

Radical leftists are going through a state of epilepsy. They lack critical human thinking, scientific qualification, and mental health. Amazingly, the symptoms of clinical mental illnesses apply terrifyingly to radical leftists. Ultimately, they are mentally ill individuals lacking competence—this is a fact, not an insult. They are the closest thing to Nazis: they impose ideas by force, and whoever disagrees is canceled, destroyed, or marginalized. The only difference is that Nazis killed opponents; radical leftists try to exploit the law to brand opponents as Fascists when they cannot reply with logic.

**The War of Failures Against Success: The Elon Musk Complex**

The most ironic and pitiable thing is that the fierce war waged by the radical left against Western civilization and Capitalism does not stem from "noble principles" as they claim, but is, in essence, a reflection of their **personal and existential failure**. These are people who stumbled in their studies, failed to build their careers, and found themselves on the margins of life. They found no way to hide their disappointment other than trying to demolish the temple over the heads of successful people.

The radical leftist does not hate poverty; **he hates the rich**.

When he looks at a figure like **Elon Musk**, he does not just see a billionaire; he sees a mirror reflecting his own insignificance and incompetence. He sees a man who risked everything, worked day and night, slept on factory floors, and possessed an iron vision that changed the face of humanity. This model of overwhelming success makes the leftist feel "inferior," so he explodes with rage and malice: *"Why him and not me?"*

Instead of asking himself: *"Where did I fall short? What must I do to succeed?"*, he chooses the easier path: demonizing success. They scream for equality, but in reality, they do not want to lift the poor up; they want to drag the successful down into the swamp of their failure. They accuse every wealthy person of being a "thief" or an "heir," trying to falsify the reality that slaps them daily with living examples of people who rose from the bottom.

**The Jack Ma Example vs. The Parasitic Left**

Look at **Jack Ma** and other greats; they started from zero, even below zero. They were not born with silver spoons in their mouths; they were carved from the rock of suffering. The difference between Jack Ma and the radical leftist is not "luck" nor "stealing from the people," but **Willpower**.

The former (the self-made man) faced life, took risks, innovated, fell, and rose a thousand times until he tamed the impossible.

The latter (the leftist) settled for sitting behind screens, ruminating on his failure, playing the victim, and hanging the coat of his laziness on "savage Capitalism."

They fight Capitalism because it is a system that rewards work, effort, and risk-taking—precisely what they lack. Their ideology is nothing but a scream of revenge launched by the "lazy" against the "achievers," and a desperate attempt by failures to steal the entitlement of the successful under the guise of fake social justice.

If there is no centralized authority to enforce the NAP, or, even define it, what stops rogue agents?

The title is slight clickbait but unironically I mean that in the sense that an Ancap social order would rely heavily on reputation,voluntary association and decentralized information. So an app like Tea could help in this case women know who to voluntarily associate with based on community standards.

“Residence, not nationality, decides who falls under the rule. An EU citizen living in Dubai faces no restriction; a non-EU national living in Lisbon or Berlin does.”

Not exactly an ancap question but as an ancap, what kinds of stocks do you have the most faith in and which ones would you avoid? What are your reasons?

Call me old and crotchety. I am now convinced that DJ Trump has moved past being accepted as a comedically coddled elder statesman, to the point where all have become aware of negative effects that will have long range consequences in the economy, world status, and history for many years.

JB Pritzker has shown us numerous times that despite his excessive wealth, he is still playing the game with goal of the money being heavily taxed for the indirect benefit of him and his friends. He is very successfully chasing major corporations, professional sports franchises, and mid to high income citizens from our great state.

Brandon Johnson knows the right talking points better than a carnival huckster. Unfortunately for residents of Chicago he does not possess basic business sense, or a clear and consistent clue for right and wrong.
