The majority of the "intellectual dark web" you cited might have something in common with the minority group Nick has gotten in trouble for criticizing, no?

I suppose that’s true

I know many libertarians prefer to focus on individuals and not groups. The problem is that the Jonathan Greenblatts of the world are ruthlessly collective, and that is what has worked exceptionally well, basically defeating any individual who dares defy them.

I'm very sorry to disappoint, but nothing will change me from looking at people as individuals. But you are free to do whatever you like.

Yes, of course.

But the people who have the power to really remove your power to do business, hold money in accounts, work on the internet, etc. really do not see you as an individual either. They see you as part of a collective, and they see themselves in a collective. That is how someone like Ye West gets cut off. He's a world-famous black billionaire, musician, and designer, not basically a nobody like Nick.

It appears that's the issue here. Groups like the ADL, AIPAC, etc. (there are literally dozens) operate on that fact and have succeeded enormously on that fact. Libertarians really don't have a way to counter it, and no one ran to Ye's defense to help him when his accounts were closed and his partnerships were cancelled. It looks like individualism did not really help him at all.

You just replied with your own story there, not to anything I really said.

No, I pointed out that whether or not you view others as individuals, you are not viewed as an individual by the groups (like the ADL) that can destroy your livelihood. So, what does it matter? That is what happened to Ye.

Glad you’re coming to “the side of Love” 😊 I too am tired of the hate.

Plus we were just buying into their separation project. #acdwf

~ You know one is speaking truth because of how hard they try to silence him ~

I saw an article about Him “being” a Nazi, I didn’t even read it.

Because I knew it was bs.

Only because THEY said it.

This is the world now....

A lie is the truth and the truth is a lie.

I think it’s pretty funny that he just keeps talking and giving them the big Fuck you, because he has nothing to lose. Because of THEM.

PLEASE get him your show Karlyn!
