The elite are enamored with the idea of creating libertarian islands and crypto currency. Thankfully, one scheme has been thwarted:<br />https://restofworld.org/2022/crypto-libertarian-prospera-lost-legal-battle-honduras/<br /><br />No wonder people flee. And the Honduran president has locked up a huge percentage of the population due to out of control criminal gangs activity.Noellegihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12768051865502219522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903948190815094163.post-78797558094169310292023-01-23T21:02:09.556-08:002023-01-23T21:02:09.556-08:00An excellent analysis, Nicky.

I think it would be useful to demonstrate to everyone, but especially many of those who call themselves libertarians, that the war on immigration is a direct consequence of, and a splendid example of, the statist paradigm.<br /><br />Here in pig-f*cker territory in the backwoods of western Montana, it seems that everyone I encounter, except for transplants from places like Helena or Missoula, just absolutely hates and loathes immigrants (except for white protestant immigrants). I never discuss the issue of immigration, and why I support open borders, with anyone unless they broach the subject first. It is simply too sensitive issue with many around here (even though Latino immigrants rarely make it this far north). While I am willing to discuss it with close friends I trust, even those who do not agree with me, I can't bring it up with almost any random person I encounter without being called a commie, pinko, faggot who supports murder, theft, disease, and drug abuse.The Borghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04928718850468526199noreply@blogger.com
