Because a bunch of libertarians and anti-establishment people and old hippies are running around saying they are the new c...

Re: On conservative and libertarian stupidity

Currently in Australia we have conservatives rallying for free speech on Musk not removing the gory stabbing of the priest in Sydney and the government trying to get the videos removed.

Re: Commodities | Oil, gold, and silver . . .

with Iran/Israel on the edge of escalating and ditto Ukraine/Russia, the chances of proxy wars turning into regional wars are very high now.
