JC Denton on Surviving Leviathan with Peter Gelderloos

We really need to talk to each other, something our leaders have heavily discouraged. I'm on the right, but I want the left to be on their game. The enemy is consolidation, and it comes from both government and corporations. If the left is co-opted and screaming about cancel culture while embracing Blackrock then we're likely to miss consolidation threats from the corporate world. Likewise, if the right is co-opted and screaming about immigrants who write op-eds then we're likely to miss consolidation threats from the government. Remember Occupy Wall Street? The Seattle WTO protests? The left got a little too close to the mark there. This energy was co-opted and redirected into the dead end of intersectional cancel culture crap. Similar things are happening on the right now. We got a little too close to kicking out the neocon snakes. This energy is being redirected in a very similar cancel culture bait and switch surrounding fake antisemitism. The enemy is not the left or the right, the enemy are the elites who constantly divide and conquer. There is reason to be optimistic but we need to keep up the pressure: fearlessly talk to each other even when we disagree, read voraciously, have a healthy and independent media diet, be self-sufficient, and engage with our local communities. This is the worst fear of those in power: that we will unite around liberty despite our differences. That we will make them obsolete.
