The flood of Indian H-1B visas that Silicon Valley will import over the next five years will do to the White middle class what Mexican migration and outsourcing did to White working class Americans.

I might be in the minority (academically or generally), but I frame a distinct "revisionist history" less as a history that revises and more as a history that reorients entire conversations about the past (i.e. attempts or succeeds in a historiographical paradigm shift)

The political center condemns "revisionist history" as shoddy/slanted. For some libertarians, and people on the extremes, it means worthy and edgy. The truth is that nearly all good historians (who want to contribute something new) are revisionists.

Under my distinction, historical revisionism isn't necessarily shoddy/slanted, but it is always risky. Testing new types of arguments, frameworks, or evidence is ever the challenge of the field, but to do so in a monumental or compete discourse-changing way requires more caution.

Completed the contiguous US last summer. Unsure when I'll get to the other two, but all in good time.

In case anyone was wondering, this is quite the opposite of libertarianism. If confused, please consult any scholarship on utopian political projects.
The libertarian ends justify the non libertarian means.

In fact, if anyone starts selling you authoritarianism as a means of achieving what they consider libertarian "ends", they are, in fact, a snake oil salesman.

Personally, the fact that bolshevism and fascism stemmed from distinct political traditions is more humbling:
The fact that tyranny could show itself out of multiple facets of ideological concern (class, national identity, etc.) should keep us aware of its pervasiveness.
I love Mises, but he was notorious for overdiagnosing people and groups as "socialist". Dude even called the Mont Pelerin society a bunch of socialists. His brilliant economic thought notwithstanding, Mises wasn't the most apt political historian.

Thanks to @LPNational for inviting me to deliver a keynote at the Libertarian National Convention in my hometown of Grand Rapids.
As we celebrate Americaβs 250th birthday, I spoke about our libertarian heritage, the Constitution under assault, and how we must seize this moment.

Voting serial grifter KKKauffman for national LP chair (let alone any office or position of leadership) is pretty much a guaranteed way of showing your loss of cognitive faculties.
Want to see the Libertarian Party end?
Reply or quote this post with support for the idea or my candidacy for LP chair.
I'm putting a website together, and will feature your endorsement.

The goal is limited government (i.e. smaller-than-what-we-have government).
The goal is also robust, efficient, and responsive government (i.e. better government).

The goal isn't better government.
It's less government.

I was nominated by the delegates at the @LPGeorgia convention to run for governor in 2026.
I accepted and will seek to get on the ballot and provide Georgia voters with and honest and ethical choice for governor who will eliminate taxes and increase liberty in the Peace State.

DAMN : ICE grabbed a 17yo Target worker at his job, despite him saying heβs a US citizen. After confirming he was, they dumped him in a Walmart lot 8 min away. Bystanders found him sobbing, bleeding: βThey slammed me on the ground.β

Why historical literacy is important:
While Fascism and State Socialism are both collectivist, authoritarian ideologies we should oppose for similar reasons, they each stem from distinct intellectual traditions. This is seen in their respective proponents' ideas of the other.
Mises "demonstrated that Nazism was not a deviation from socialism, but one of its most logical expressions"
"Socialism, fascism, and Nazism are not opposites; they are variations of the same creed: the omnipotent state"
Cry harder, leftists

Who at @sfliberty authorized this ridiculous thread?
Itβs a sloppy rationalization for abandoning the Rule of Lawβfundamental to libertyβin favor of expediency. Just another way of saying the end justifies the means.
If this is what theyβre advocating, then theyβve lost me.
βI'm against Maduro, but I think what Trump did was wrong.β
This sentence sounds reasonable, balanced, and mature. The kind of thing a serious person would say to avoid seeming radical.
The problem is that this sentence is, morally, one of the worst possible positions on Venezuela. π§΅

The reason for the Establishment Clause is evident here...
DHS (responsible for unchristian mass deportations) masquerading as Christian is virtue signaling while simultaneously corrupting the ministry of Christ that we celebrate on Christmas.

List of appropriate addresses:
Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays
Season's Greetings
Happy Hanukkah/Hanukkah Sameach
Joyous/Blessed Kwanzaa
Good Tidings
Don't get your panties in a twist over how someone greets you. 'Tis the season for rejoicing and good will.

It's not "Happy Holidays."
It's "Merry Christmas."
It's "Happy Birthday Jesus, Savior of the world."
America is a Christian nation.
Jesus Christ is Lord.

Sorry your historical education has been so saturated by warmongers, traitors, tyrants, & "big men" that you've lost all appreciation for the noble & just actions/impacts of the everyman.
Sounds like your antiquated education failed you & your capacity for human understanding.

One of the most striking things about the modern left is that they have no historical heroes at all. Every once in a while they come along and erect a statue to some unremarkable nobody, calling her an "icon" even though they had to check Wikipedia to find out who she even was. They have no real heroes. All of the true icons of history are too "problematic." We stand on the shoulders of giants. They stand on the shoulders of like three or four random black women who did very little and achieved even less.
