Summary

In this juicy talk I do begin with some internecine libertarian wrangling, to be sure, but that's not my primary focus. I cover lots of ways in which we libertarians find ourselves at odds with the culture that surrounds us. The empire's reaction to the death of John McCain was profoundly revealing, for example. The culture of the universities these days is another point of contention. As I show in today's episode, though, when even one courageous person resists and then refuses to back down, millions rally to him.
 
There is a lesson here.

0:51.4

that is where I go with it. But by and large, I'm actually talking about

0:55.6

the culture wars that we are involved in vis-a-vis the regime itself. And what makes us so

1:01.7

different, frankly, from, well, almost everybody around us. So I get into some of the details
