Jacob from Tasting Anarchy joins us on the show for a third time to take us back to first principles to discuss how we could work through the problems of child abuse.  We all know how bad the state is with CPS, but not many people discuss the alternatives.  We do that here and so much more.

Target Tori was the latest example of an attempt at Cancel Culture that ultimately failed because of how ridiculous it was.  Whether or not the perpetrator was being serious or was simply a troll, it was at least nice to see people rally around Tori and help her out.  But the internet rage mobs in general aren't a great idea.  It makes us stick our noses in places they probably don't belong.

Is there a way out?  There sure it.  Once again, Bitcoin fixes this.  BTCpayServer is a tool that people susceptible to cancellation should start leveraging.  And it's just an awesome tool in general: we've recently added it at LibertyMugs.com to handle our Bitcoin payment processing.

"I have not fled justice--I have escaped injustice and political persecution."

These words were spoken by Carlos Ghosn, a former Nissan executive on trial in Japan.  He was charged with financial misconduct and did not trust the Japanese courts to give him a fair trial.  So instead of getting railroaded, he hired some people to smuggle him out of Japan and back to his home country of Lebanon.  This raises some interesting questions about private markets for escaping justice systems.

Our friend Buck joins us this week to talk about his plans to try to become a delegate for the Libertarian Party so he can vote to make Jacob Hornberger the presidential nominee.  He only wants to nominate Hornberger so he can spread the message of liberty and convert people to the movement and wants no other involvement in politics (including voting in the election).  He wants us to join the Libertarian Party simply to support him.  Are we being unreasonable by saying no when the effort on our part would be very low?

After all, Bitcoin fixes all of this.

Services like Cash App, Robinhood, and Acorn have been popping up that break down the barriers to entry to the stock market for average people.  Is this access good or bad?  Is it good that so many of us are so invested in stock market and other investment vehicles that we may not really understand?  What caused us to get here and is there a way out?

We all want to grow the libertarian movement, but not everyone always fully buys in.  We don't want to do purity testing, but we need some some ways to qualify and define libertarians.  We use a few examples to work out how to deal with this issue and try to appreciate some of the nuance to come up with something suitable.

With red flag laws looming around us, the government has been more active in confiscating guns from the people it deems shouldn't have them.  While they are something to worry about, does it distract us from paying attention to the things it already does at achieve the same ends?  We look at two things going on this episode: an article detailing a new Pennsylvania law that requires people convicted a domestic abuse crime to turn in their guns and the case of Derek Heuring, an Indiana man who police busted for meth after obtaining a warrant to search his house with probable cause that he stole the GPS tracker they planted on his car because it went silent.  They're not very likely to take our guns en masse but will instead go after some easy targets first that will be hard for most people to defend.
