Immigrants, technology or the rich aren’t the reason for the plight of Americans but the barriers to entrepreneurship , empowerment and community created by government licensing, debt, regulations, tariffs, wars and overcriminalization. Change it, be #Libertarian. #amliberty

If you can’t defend someone’s right consume plants or use their body for their profession as they wish then how do you expect to defend people’s right to defend themselves and travel freely. Rights aren’t pieces that can be parsed without destroying the whole. #amliberty

Fellow Libertarians, I love you all even when you don’t love me or when you don’t love each other. I do encourage you all to love a little bit more, you’ll like the way it feels. #amliberty https://t.co/vqGch7Zec5

The burden should never be on an individual to justify the use of the their life, body and property. The burden should be placed on those who want to justify confiscating, destroying or controlling the life/body/property of others with the highest level of scrutiny. #amliberty

Consent breeds reciprocity, accountability and knowledge. Free Markets function based on consent. Of course I want more accountability and reciprocity in healthcare, education, housing, etc. #FreeMarkets #Libertarian #amliberty

I try to have an open mind but I swear what I hear from people often translates to “If you don’t support confiscating people’s stuff and incarcerating them for consensual non-violent behavior I don’t like, you are a bad person”. #Libertarian #Amliberty

Just a friendly reminder that I stand for radical amounts of decentralization, individualism and free exchange in education, healthcare, housing and all other goods, services and societal organizing. Freedom really does work. #amliberty

I always find it curious when people argue for a broader role for the LNC in particular the role of Chair. Their arguments often remind me of those who cry for more presidential power and centralization. #amliberty #decentralization #governance

On this ✊BONUS✊ episode of the #podcast I discuss how if you really dig into the idea of class differences and intersectionality, libertarianism still comes out on top. #amliberty #libertarian https://ift.tt/2XV4KsM
