Yes, good evening, good evening, everybody. It's DeFan Maloney from Freedom Main. Now, listen, listen,

emergency broadcast this year of our Lord, 2024. And we are talking, oh, I guess it's the 24th divided by

the month, gives us three, 24th of August, 2024 emergency broadcast. The emergency being that

last night, a man in good faith, I think it was a man,

in absolute, joyous anticipation of a rigorous answer, asked me something,

and then I finished off the live stream after yapping, fairly incessantly, for quite a bit of time,

he asked me, Steph, Steph.

Short question, why do people take politics so seriously?

It's almost like a religion to some individuals.

I mean, not even able to joke about both candidates without complete nasty and crazy replies.

It is hard for people on the voluntarious, libertarian, sort of you name it, kind of spectrum,

and I mean we're on the spectrum.

But it is kind of hard for people to

understand why people get so nuts about politics. I'll put forward a bit of a theory,

and you can listen passively, you can jump in and engage, you can question, query, comment,

oppose, whatever your ventricles thirst for.

I am happy to accommodate, but here we go.

So, most of us who are skeptical of the endless illusory benefits of infinite government power,

tend to be people who get shit done in the voluntary free market

arena.

We tend to be people who other people are willing to pay in a voluntary fashion for the

joy and presence of our goods and services.
