(Part 2) Top products from r/liberalgunowners

I determined a while back that either my basic morality must change (unlikely), or my political position must shift to agree with it. That's how I ended up voluntarist (anarchist) today. I stopped advocating for policies based on what I thought of them at first glance in a vacuum, and started seriously examining my own basic morality, and consequently whether any policies were in conflict with it. Only then did I move on to studies of economics, with which I've become fascinated. For a thorough, yet layman-accessible examination of ethical/moral principle and the legitimacy of the state, I highly recommend Prof. Michael Huemer's The Problem of Political Authority. It is very dispassionate like a good academic publication should be, but I still found it riveting.

So I don't advocate the Libertarian party either, though in my studies I see significant merit to the associated economic policies even aside from their moral benefits. I highly recommend Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson.

I am also against taking one's shirt off on stage during a political convention. However, I of course will not try to stop anyone from becoming as nude as they wish. ;)

Haha, alright, my pitch is over. :)

Simmons Truplex Adjustable Objective Prosport Riflescope (4-12X40, Matte) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VYZMJO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_oiMLzb5AG3AE2

It's not fancy, but it's clear. Plus, I put it on a rifle that is basically disposable. Still getting great performance. I'm happy.

Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) is just that, a theory. I do not subscribe to MMT. None of what I have said is based on MMT.

I am in a "Wall Street" industry. I have been making money for the past 10+ years taking the opposite side of trades for people talking about bond vigilantes, QE being inflationary, the USA becoming the next Greece, the US going bankrupt, etc. It's because I use an objective, fact-based analysis of the operational reality of modern monetary systems and am not an academic or politician using historical theories not rooted in reality.

Did you know Paul Krugman didn't incorporate the banking system into many of his models for a long time? Don't even get me started on the Austrian School dorks like Peter Schiff. I lost count of the number of calls they got wrong.

Several of the things you stated are factually incorrect and I explained why. I am beginning to think you don't care about objective facts and are much more interested in emotions and identity politics. It seems like you were trying to bait me into an argument over those but I'm not interested.

If you want to expand your understanding, I highly recommend Pragmatic Capitalism by Cullen Roche.

Best of luck in the future.

Definitely recommend it. Look for the full collection of all the Isher stories, titled The Empire of Isher. The overarching story feels a bit "rushed", since it's assembled from a series of short stories, but the themes of government and self-determination are interesting. He also does a pretty clever thing where he portrays characters as mustache twirling villains from the perspective of the main character in one story, and then shows the same characters from a different perspective in other stories that shows they're not necessarily the bad guy... Good old classic 50's sci-fi.

PBS just had a great documentary on the Panthers called Black Panthers, Vanguard of the Revolution which does a good job of giving a broad and balanced overview of the Panthers. If you want more specific information you can read stuff like [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Taste-Power-Black-Womans-Story/dp/0385471076) or [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Hillbilly-Nationalists-Urban-Rebels-Black/dp/1935554662).

I’d say Trump’s election also pulled in a lot of low income white people as well, anxious to make sure their spot in the pecking order (just slightly above people of color) doesn’t move. Basically some people fell for the same line of BS that worked back in the 1800s, when the system held “white” people were better than the Irish immigrants who were still better than black slaves. Read, “Making Whiteness”
Making Whiteness: The Culture of Segregation in the South, 1890-1940 https://www.amazon.com/dp/0679776206/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_B206Ab58NM6FE

I dont think those are necessarily incompatible They're relatively competent plotters who don't give a shit about the country and the system is too big and fucked up to change anything for the better.

There's a book called The Systems Bible that tries to explain why organizations and systems full of competent people who want to get the job done still can't actually accomplish any forward progress.

How about this? I have a copy and it's a great book.

I found https://www.amazon.com/Gun-Guys-Road-Vintage-Departures/dp/0307742504 to be quite good, as was https://www.amazon.com/Shooters-Myths-Realities-Americas-Cultures-ebook/dp/B00JC5UT50/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1537465912&sr=1-1&keywords=shooters+abigail

According to Prisoners of Geography, a big reason why the US is a superpower is because it stretches from one side of the continent to the other, allowing it to have a presence in both the Atlantic and the Pacific without much trouble. This scenario would, according to the book, make our country far less powerful if it were to come to pass.

The Sovereign Individual explores this concept quite interestingly.

OnX is either phone or GPS based maps. You can get 1 time purchase GPS or a subscription. If that's too expensive now a Gazeteer is a brand of paper maps with ownership info.

Mossberg 500 series is the basic and cheap but good pump shotgun. Remington 870 is another decent one (I own one and no major issues) but quality control has been down lately.

Edit: California gazetteer: California Atlas & Gazetteer https://www.amazon.com/dp/0899333834/

I would like to suggest Southern Labor and Civil Rights by Michael Honey if you're interested in reading more about how elites in Memphis used race to divide workers and keep unions out of the city. Unsurprising to no one, the police are agents of the elites in this story and actively beat and harass black labor organizers.

I know it's not gun related but it's such an necessary topic for Americans to understand how race is a tool used to control them. I'll remove it if asked by the mods.

For another view on this I recommend this book. Large pockets of the South were essentially Pagan (Celtic) and traveling preachers were often run out of town with shotguns

That is all

Here is an article about it. Basically men become more violent when they perceive that they have lower social/economic value than other men. Here is the source book. and here is a podcast about it. please don't kill me for bringing up Jordan Peterson.

Without knowing you, I would highly suggest Michael Stephenson's The Last Full Measure: How Soldiers Die in Battle.

The short answer is yes, history is replete with mass murders using clubbing instruments, often with creative embellishments designed to pierce, pummel, and bludgeon. It's a tremendously good book full of somewhat-morbid facts: for example, knights were very frequently mortally wounded by being stabbed in the taint.
