>>1431>What a pussy.Depends on if he's working on other projects that are taking up his time and what these projects constitute. I think I'll email him as well to figure this out.
>Libertarians don't have any real arguments.>Leftists create massive point by point refutations of our works and we have absolutely nothing to counter it with.I don't know what you mean by "arguments" because there plenty available, albeit relatively unknown even within our movement. However, there is a tendency even among scholars to write a good condemnation of communism and leave it at that, pretending the intellectual war ended after
Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth. Leftists, of course, never admit defeat (hence why they're an eternal threat even when brain-dead) and will keep pumping out content supposedly "refuting" through word games and selective evidence. To actually beat them you have to smash every argument they come up with, just like AltHype does with race and IQ.
Of course the leaders and scholars in the libertarian community prize their time highly and cannot keep repeating themselves; they accomplish more by going into new areas. It's the secondary scholars/students who have to do the repetitious work explaining the logic of the genii, modernizing their work and beating back the rehashings of socialism. An architect builds a castle but he's not needed for maintenance; ordinary workmen maintain it and repair any damages from onslaughts. Right now there are too few workmen and the walls are ill-repaired.
>Are libertarians just lazy?Potentially. Of course you have a lot of meme pages on Facebook and people who post libertarian memes, but I don't know many who act as intellectual shock brigades. I can count the number of actual good libertarian-themed Youtube channels on one hand and they'd be lucky to have a hundred thousand subscribers among them. Compare that to the nu-left's presence on that platform. It's not because there are a lot more commies than libertarians because comment sections generally tend to have a right-wing/libertarian bent to them, particularly in gaming subcultures.
I really have no idea about why this is so. Is it because communists are by nature more collectivistic and passionate, whereas libertarians are often individualists and logical? Maybe it's because communists feel they're on the verge of revolution while libertarians are more black-pilled. It is apparent of course that communists are better organized and they attack in groups with the same arguments they've heard from elsewhere–the more I type this the more I realize the Borg in Star Trek are a decently portrayed fictional version of communism–tiring out opponents more than actually beating them. In contrast to this religious fervor newcomers are met by fellow libertarians with a "meh" who will provide works or interesting articles to read only on prodding. There are countless great articles on Mises.org that never get shared. I think Tom Woods–a boomer–exposes more people to more libertarian thoughts than anyone younger than him. God bless him but he's an example to follow, not a crutch.
Also, libertarians tend to attack concepts rather than works when they're not talking about contemporary events. Seems to me that articles and books tend to address things like the labor theory of value, the myth of the minimum wage, etc. rather than compendiums of oppositional thought. Delving into these abstract concepts is all well and good but it's not marketable to the masses nor does it stop a hardcore commie, because he'll just go, "Well what about X." Identifying problems like these is necessary to fixing our lack of reach.
I actually plan to start up a Youtube channel in a year (hopefully everything doesn't burn down before then) after I get more /lit/. Think of a combination of AltHype/Academic Agent but with a more receptive/cheerful behavior. Taking down
No More Bread was an idea I had for a while.
