Kent's "Hooligan Libertarian" Blog

This blog is the clearinghouse for all the writings of Kent McManigal. Gather 'round and read my hard-core, REAL, libertarian/anarchist views on just about everything. I also write a weekly column for the Clovis News Journal, as well as sporadic columns elsewhere, plus stuff here that you'll find nowhere else. Enjoy!

Striking at the Root or re-painting leaves?

Protest proposed anti-gun "laws"?

Get out and vote?

Write your congresscritter?

Sorry, I can't get too worked up for all that.  I don't buy into the idea that gun owners who don't speak out are "doing nothing".

Sometimes people just realize that political action is equivalent to trying to use a trash can lid to hold back a landslide.  I'll spend my energy doing things that might work.

It's always going to be something- you'll spend your life in a dither trying to put out each brushfire of tyranny if you keep seeking a political "solution".  The State- government- is illegitimate.  That is NO WAY to deal with other people.  Accept it and move on to more productive pursuits.

Unless you just happen to enjoy the frenzy of reactive political action- and some people do.  In that case, do whatever makes you happy, but don't pretend your path is the Only Way.
