I have been asked repeatedly what a US successor state might look like but I think it is more important to understand the context in which that successor state would exist before we can look at what it may be. If the United States enters civil war, has an economic crash or there is a war with China, Iran, or Russia it is extremely likely that we will enter a new warring states period. Everything is primed for the economic and societal collapse that would destroy most major institutions and leave the entire world in a perpetual state of war. Too much of the world relies on the United States economy and or military for our removal to do anything but usher in collapses across the world and civil wars en mass.

Everyone knows the #WEF wants us to own neither and be happy with it. But the reality is we are already halfway there. The cult of #government has already forced us to give up true ownership over our own labor and land, the two most fundamental things to #freedom. To them taking control of all free will, control of our lives, and the economy is just the logical next step. We see it as absurd to obey their demands of owning nothing, living in the pod, eating the bugs, accepting the #CBDC, and living under a social credit system. But the basic components of everything they need to enforce that future is already in place. We are halfway there and accelerating. Every seemingly small concession we make, giving up a tiny bit of freedom is actually a huge win for the dystopian WEF future because freedom leaves easily but requires horror and sacrifice to win back. It is a one-way gear that easily advances towards tyranny but then cannot be turned the other direction without breaking the entire system. No sacrifice is too much for the cult of woke because every sacrifice is to their god, the government. All forms of socialism are simply sects of the same religion placing the state in the place of God, and it is up to us to refuse to bow another micron.

When people think about mass destruction in war they typically think about chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons. But there is something that could easily have a similar body count with potentially longer lasting results. A cyber attack could shut down our infrastructure, prevent basic services and cripple our just in time food and grocery system. In many respects a serious cyber attack would be similar to a an EMP attack or a solar flair. It would cut us off from the luxuries, resources, and support we have become accustomed to. If you have ever heard a prepper talk about the results of an electromagnetic pulse then this video will sound familiar to you.

Don't be an Eloi - Through the prism of the Time Traveler we can see our modern world reflected. Not only are the #Eloi perfect representations of the neutered and intentionally stunted nature of many people in modern society but the Morlocks and Time Traveler himself serve as behavior models for what we see in the world today. We can see this in how our modern #school system is designed to produce rule followers and narrative regurgitators rather than critical thinkers. HG Wells was brilliant and did a fantastic job of predicting the horrors of modern society. Many people turn to Orwell's 1984 when looking for an analogy of modern times but I think the Time Traveler is more accurate. In the Time Traveler we see the Eloi intellectually stunted and turned into barely more than livestock who worship their oppressors. That is exactly what we see today in the world at large. But what do you think? Do you think we are ruled by Morlocks and Eloi is a better representative of modern man than #Sheeple?

We at Retrospectator support Javier and have translated our video on Argentina's possible future into Spanish. #Argentina se encuentra en una situación desafortunada con una inflación descontrolada, una economía en declive y un liderazgo socialista. Pero hay esperanza. Con Javier #Milei dominando las recientes primarias, uno se ve obligado a preguntarse qué efectos podría tener una Argentina liberada en su gente, región y el mundo. La primera tarea monumental a la que se enfrentaría Javier sería abordar la hiperinflación descontrolada, lo que requeriría soluciones alternativas y humildad nacional. Con la dominancia manufacturera de China en declive y una Argentina liberada, habría enormes oportunidades para el crecimiento interno. Argentina cuenta con vastos recursos naturales y humanos y está perfectamente posicionada para convertirse en una potencia global si se liberara el poder del libre mercado para hacer su trabajo. La esperanza que la libertad y el crecimiento traen casi siempre afecta de manera significativa la tasa de natalidad, y creo que podríamos ver rápidamente un baby boom argentino. Una Argentina poderosa, libre, en crecimiento y próspera incluso podría ayudar a frenar la marea de autoritarismo que vemos extendiéndose por el mundo. La teoría de la válvula de escape indicaría que el mundo necesita desesperadamente un lugar que sea significativamente más libre que cualquier nación que exista actualmente. Si se nos brinda ese bastión, evitaría que otros países aprieten demasiado a sus poblaciones, no sea que su gente busque una nueva y brillante antorcha de #Libertad .

With the final election in Argentina right around the corner we have transited several relevant Retrosptectator videos into Spanish for our Argentine audience. Parte del equipo de Retrospectator es de #Argentina, lo que le proporciona una exposición de primera mano a los fracasos del socialismo y a cómo una civilización puede pasar de ser próspera a empobrecida por mil pequeñas mordidas y un gobierno expositivo de izquierda. Este video es más bien una colaboración de contenido entre yo, Joshua y Leonardo. Queremos que veas la historia de advertencia que Argentina se ha convertido desde la perspectiva argentina. Este video contrastará fuertemente con nuestro video de hace unas semanas, donde hablamos sobre el posible futuro de Argentina bajo #Javier #Milei. La elección es este domingo, así que estamos rompiendo aún más nuestro programa de lanzamientos con esta carga. Perdimos varias semanas porque Leonardo estaba ayudando en la campaña de Javier. Todos rezamos para que no se vuelva violento cuando los poderes establecidos pierdan la elección y potencialmente intenten mantener el control por la fuerza. #Milei2023 #JavierMilei

With such a porous southern border the United States is at risk for far more than an endless stream of illegal #immigration. We have made many enemies around the world who won't hesitate to exploit any weakness and there is a glaring weakness to our south that, after something happens, will be extremely obvious in the twenty-twenty vision of hindsight. The recent attacks by #Hamas in Israel have shown that a determined enemy can cause significant death and destruction with improvised equipment and tactics. The essential factors are unpredictability and surprise. It is impossible to defend our entire country from an enemy once we have been infiltrated at scale. Israel couldn't do it and it is a country the size New Jersey. So what are the possible results of being infiltrated by our enemies and who may try something like that? How large could such an attack become and how much could it disrupt our daily lives and could it become a threat to our way of life? #infiltration #china #Hezbollah Here is someone I respect when it comes to being prepared for this scenario: https://tactical-wisdom.com/

It is well understood that weakness invites challenge but in reality it doesn't just invite challenge, it brings violence. Only the incredibly secure have the luxury of being weak. The cycle of history shows that strong men create good times, good times create hard times, and hard times create strong men. Why then would anyone intentionally become weak and welcome hard times? In our personal lives we do not have the luxury of being weak. You must protect your family and yourself and as the world becomes more and more dangerous this is becoming harder and harder to ignore. Finally, my fellow libertarians seem to have forgotten that nothing exists in a vacuum and no matter how much you respect individual rights in your nation there will always be those who look at you with greed from another nation and seek to crush or conquer you. Weakness at every level brings destruction. So do whatever you can to not be weak.

Half of the Retrospectator team is from #Argentina giving him firsthand exposure to the failures of socialism and how a civilization can go from wealthy to impoverished by a thousand tiny bites and a leftist expositive government. This video is more of a content collaboration between myself, Joshua, and Leonardo. We want you to see the cautionary tale that Argentina has become from the Argentine perspective. This video will stand in stark contrast to our video a few weeks ago where we talk about the possible future of Argentina under #Javier #Milei. The election is this Sunday so we are breaking our release schedule even further with this upload. We missed several weeks because Leonardo was assisting Javier's campaign. We all prey it does not become violent when the entrenched powers lose the election and potentially try to keep control by force. #milei2023

In my previous video we discussed how voting laws change and legal (although unconstitutional) capture of the election system could lead to civil war. In this video we examine another way that the United States could find itself in a civil war. A strong economy is essential to the stability of any nation so many have wondered why our leaders have made economic choices that aren't just not helpful but actively counterproductive. Why print money when our economy is weak? Why send money overseas when we have homeless veterans and deficit spending? The answer could be that they want our economy to hyperinflate and fall apart so they can attempt a reset with a central bank digital currency or CBDC. Both the process of intentionally collapsing our currency and trying to implement a centrally controlled CBDC could lead to civil war. This conflict would be horrible and drawn out because the goal of destroying economic freedom is to deprive people of political freedom. Without the economic means to pursue your political desires you do not have political freedom. Once a CBDC is implemented we have two possible futures, a social credit dystopic future or a dystopic future of rebellion and war.

It is well known that Elon Musk is very concerned with sustainability and green technology to help the environment. Why then, does he also champion higher population growth and a growing population. What most people don't realize is that one is dependent on the other. Green technology and the technology to meet Musk's other goals such as making our species multiplanetary requires a growing economy. A growing economy requires growing populations, and growing populations require economic and cultural hope. You could say that Elon Musk's true enemy is the hopelessness created by leftist policies and socialism in all it's forms. This could be why we see him trending more and more libertarian as he is presented by more and more broken policies on the left and cultural pushback against freedom and hope driven goals. The reason Musk is in conflict with the left despite both of them championing green technology and a clean environment is because the left is not actually interested in a clean environment. The left uses concerns over the environment to push for authoritarian and socialist policies to fuel their megacorporation dominated economy that centralizes power and gives them complete social and economic control. Green socialism was never about the planet or global warming, it was always about control. Libertarianism has far better solutions to the problems the left champions and better solutions for our species as a whole. If one wishes a clean environment and the long term survival of our species we need improving technology and a strong economy, something Musk understands.

Argentina finds itself in an unfortunate situation with out of control inflation, a failing economy, and socialist leadership. But there is hope. With Javier Milei dominating the recent primaries one is forced to wonder what effects a liberating Argentina could have on its, people, region, and the world. The first monumental task Javier would be faced with would be tackling the runaway hyperinflation which would require alternative solutions and national humility. With China's manufacturing dominance falling and a freed Argentina there would be huge opportunity for domestic growth. Argentina has vast natural and human resources and is perfectly positioned to become a global power if the power of the free market were unleashed to do its job. The hope freedom and growth bring almost always effects the birth rate in major ways and I think we could quickly see an Argentine baby boom. A powerful, free, and growing, and prosperous Argentina could even help hold back the tide of authoritarianism we see washing over the world. Release valve theory would indicate the world desperately needs a place that is significantly more free than any nation that currently exists. If we are given that bastion it would prevent other countries from squeezing their populations too tightly lest their people free for a new shining beacon of freedom.

Blind hope is worse than useless because it handicaps your ability to act on what you know will happen.

Recent events in New Mexico and California have shown that they are, in fact, coming for our children and our guns. New Mexico Governor Michelle Grisham's executive order banning both open carry and concealed carry permits in Albuquerque demonstrate that the left has a complete disregard for basic constitutional rights. California passing a bill that allows the state to take children from parents who don't support transgender surgeries and hormones from their children is a blatant attack on both parental rights and basic human decency. It is a mockery of sanity that we do not allow children to get tattoos or drink because they are too young and that is permanent and will damage their bodies but allow them to make irreversible changes to their body after being indoctrinated by their teachers and other leftists. It is no coincidence that Washington State introduced the same law as California shortly after the AR ban went into effect. The left is intentionally creating a situation that can quickly spiral out of control.

The world is spinning out of control and authoritarians everywhere are clamping down. It appears polarization has gotten worse and worse with no end in sight. So, what happens if this doesn't stop, what would be the endgame? It is entirely possible the internal strife in the United States could boil over and cause a civil conflict. In this video I discuss two possible ways we could arrive at that unfortunate and violent situation.

Everyone knows how horrible deflation is and what it does to wages, economic growth, and business prospects. But what happens when inflation isn't possible because of the currency you are using? What if we had a currency that was impossible to inflate because of a fixed numeric value but was infinitely divisible? Is it possible for something as mundane as currency to influence the entire trajectory of an economy? (Hint: the answer is yes.)

Why does nobody want to work? Well it's not because people are magically lazier than they once were and it isn't 'the Millennials' as a certain generation would have you believe. The problem is that people have begun to feel hopeless. We aren't just experiencing slow growth, inflation has actively reduced effective wages and taken a somewhat stable economic situation and turned it into a catastrophe.

We have lost our rights slowly over time like the frog in the pot of water where the heat is turned up slowly so that it never notices what is happening until it is too late. We must push back in the same way to stop the loss and possibly regain some rights. By standing our ground those wishing to oppress us will be the ones forced to break the law and in doing so show their true colors.

One can only seek to achieve freedom or indulge their fear. The two pursuits are mutually exclusive. By seeking to alleviate fear we give up our freedom to people who have no actual interest in our safety. We do not have a right to not be afraid, but we have a right to be free, so by seeking to grow government to escape fear we destroy freedom. You cannot do anything without risk and risk is inescapable even if you do nothing. That is why he who sacrifices freedom for safety deserves neither and will lose both.

Here is my interview with Chase Oliver Libertarian Candidate for President. We discuss his stance on immigration, taxes, the FED, and the USA's position in the world. Here is his campaign website: https://votechaseoliver.com

Wisdom and foolishness can often be separated by action. Take action to make your hoped for outcome more likely.

Economics is understanding human behavior in regards to business, money, and rights so it makes sense that it can shed light on other areas of human rights. Understanding the nature of value allows us to keep our own value and the value of others in mind when considering what we expect out of both others and ourselves. Just like in economics we aren't owed anything by simply existing. If you want something or someone you need to gather enough value to have even a hope of acquiring it.

There is no social contract, there are only people who seek to claim ownership over you simply for existing. Not leaving where you were born or ceasing to exist does not validate others having claim over you. The social contract is nothing more than people trying to justify taking your rights. No contract is unilateral, unsigned, and constantly changing and if there was such a document it would be thrown out by any court on earth. In the same way that the social contract between lord and serf is invalid so too is any perceived social contract today. The way the language of social contract is currently used it has become a blank check for government power and theft all handwaved away because 'you signed the social contract,' by existing. That is the logic of tyrants.

Yesterday I interviewed Mike ter Maat. It was going to be a livestream but we experienced technical difficulties and had to record the interview to be posted at a later time. We cover some of the most important issues for a libertarian president such as inflation, monetary policy, immigration, and national defense and foreign interventionism. We greatly appreciate Mike ter Maat and his team taking the time to answer our questions.

With crazy events seemingly happening every day and the fog of war thick people may be tempted to think that thinks like coups and rebellions can't happen today. But these sort of things have happened all throughout history and will continue to happen until the end times. It is entirely possible for a group like Wagner to rebel and many times in history they have succeeded. Mercenary forces are often known for turning on their masters when underpaid or mistreated, and while Wagner is no-doubt responsible for many crimes they were clearly mistreated by their overlords. The real question is do we think we are immune to the same forces? To make sure the social media giants can't hide my videos please join my mailing list: https://mailchi.mp/1d08ab4d7c14/mailing-list
