Gonna post a few things I've been reading/listening to. Last couple of ideas I've picked up are wild.
Moldbug(Yarvin) is brand new to me, but his ideas are very well thought out. I particularly enjoyed this, it's a quick rundown of his ideas.
I think you should buy this book, (it's not terribly expensive) because the Author provides great, albeit dry explanations of solutions to arguments against Anarcho-Capitalism. But it's here for free.

Gotta plug @PeterRQuinones documentary. Top shelf interview clips from folk all over the Libertarian/Anarchist spectrum:
There are a few AnCaps out there that seem to state that Marx was an idiot, and dismiss him without examination. This is a good lecture from Hans-Hermann Hoppe stating what he gets right, and where he and the Austrian school types overlap:
I'll probably keep this thread going a while.
Alright, so I've been spending some CPU cycles on some political ideas that I thought I'd attach to this tread. Specifically on Voting. Take a look, yell, ignore, like, retweet, keep scrolling, whatever you want, dude.
Ok, my first case to make is that your shouldn't bother to vote at all. It's a waste of time, especially if you are planning to vote Republican or Democrat. Third party is also a waste of time, but for a different reason.
Both of the mainstream parties are actually one party. The Democrats are the Inner Party(Think 1984's party), Republicans the Outer Party. R's serve as a foil to the Inner Party, but really only to keep up appearances. Moldbug states correctly that history always moves left.
Because the march leftward is inevitable, by voting for Trump you are merely slowing the march, but not by much. Trump and Republicans have not bothered to enact anything even slightly fiscal or socially conservative. They simply use the right words on camera to seem conservative
The Republicans will continue to march leftward, because The Cathedral, while losing some power, still continues to do what it does best: change public opinion. It may have lost a little credibility, it has gained huge energy in another way. Hold onto that idea a sec, more later.
Now, if you are going to vote regardless, and you are voting 3rd party, have at it. The LP and Greens will not be able to work their way into the monoparty, let alone make change. Their ideas have so little penetration, that their best bet is to join the monoparty.
Alright now for my second point. If you want the rioting to stop, and a tense, but non-violent peace to return to the US, you should vote for Joe Biden. (I can hear the screeching already) Remember that point I told you to hold onto, follow me if would on that.
Trump winning in 2016 pumped a ton energy into the left. (I'll let you, dear reader decide if this is good or bad. I don't have any feelings on this). This energy has invigorated The Cathedral, and the monoparty political system.
However, this is only because they have a Goldstein to direct the Two Minutes Hate towards. Should Goldstein disappear, Politcal Entropy will step in rather quickly, because the energy provided while huge, is superficial at best.
Note, this will not evaporate the tankies, AnComs, BLM, or any other hard-leftists, but will take the wind out of their sails for a while.
Alright, I think I will leave it there for now. The only question I do not have an answer to, that I find satisfactory, is: What does one do knowing these things? I don't have any whitepills to dispense I'm afraid. Once I find them, I'll update this thread. Stay Tuned.
I've been thinking about this thread, and I don't want to update/add to yet. However, I will eventually add/change thoughts later.
