Thomas Sowell: Imperialism and Slavery Did NOT Make the West Rich

by Keith Knight | Feb 20, 2024 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/zuPg34_7PjA The Economic Legacy of Slavery What was accomplished by the enslavement of untold millions of human beings in countries around the world? No doubt particular projects here and there were the fruits of slave labor, but it would be difficult to make the more general case that slavery advanced the economic level of those societies in which it existed on a mass scale. The American South, for example, was by no means the most economically dynamic region of the country, either during or after the era of slavery. It was in fact the poorest. Brazil, which imported...

https://youtu.be/IZwWGihLXaY I became a Progressive when I thought that Progressivism meant being compassionate. I stopped being a Progressive when I realized that putting massive obligations on strangers through government coercion was not compassion. - Keith Knight, Domestic Imperialism: Nine Reasons I Left Progressivism Watch on BitChute

How SJWs Lie by Omission w/ Tom Woods

by Keith Knight | Feb 12, 2024 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/VYvzjSG6ipI Listing the main ways that society appears to treat men less fairly than women requires only a little more reflection to complete. Topping the list: a. Men are overrepresented at the bottom levels of society. They do most of the nasty, dangerous work, are much more likely to be homeless or imprisoned, and much more likely to kill themselves. b. Men spend much more time on the job than women. c. The law heavily favors women in child custody and child support disputes. d. Men are more likely to be victims of violent crime. e. Men are much more likely to die in...

Three SJW Lies: Racism, Sexism, and Homophobia w/ Keith Knight

by Keith Knight | Feb 10, 2024 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/tMMcN41TWXI [T]he number of blacks in professional, technical, and other high-level occupations more than doubled in the decade preceding the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In other occupations, gains by blacks were greater during the 1940s — when there was practically no civil rights legislation — than during the 1950s. In various skilled trades, the income of blacks relative to whites more than doubled between 1936 and 1959… Affirmative action hiring pressures make it costly to have no minority employees, but continuing affirmative action pressures at the promotion and...

The Reagan Lesson w/ Scott Horton #nowarwithiran

by Keith Knight | Feb 1, 2024 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/FEkXkFM6o0w?si=B0_CfuSEd-2lhcpJ War is ultimately about collectivism. During crisis, individuality fades in favor of team effort. During violent conflict, particularly between governments, the world becomes, especially it seems for Americans, a giant, bloody football game: our team versus theirs, us versus them, good versus evil. Go, team, go. - Scott Horton, Individualism vs. War Watch on BitChute

Domestic Imperialism: The Truth About Progressivism

by Keith Knight | Jan 15, 2024 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/WQwVvCDTRWk It’s common to see Progressives — who offer me no job, no products, and no services — claim that my real enemies are people who voluntarily offer me those things. Like a jealous spouse, they become abusive when they feel insecure, rather than do the work that it takes to improve themselves. It’s noteworthy that Amazon has voluntarily chosen to enact a $15-an-hour minimum wage, the very thing Progressives say only can be achieved via state coercion. - Keith Knight, Domestic Imperialism: Nine Reasons I Left Progressivism Watch on BitChute

Dave Smith: Lessons From Murray Rothbard and Hans Hoppe

by Keith Knight | Jan 8, 2024 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/erJAXzZ2IrE It is absurd to believe that an agency which may tax without consent can be a property protector. Likewise, it is absurd to believe that an agency with legislative powers can preserve law and order. – Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Ph.D., Democracy: The God That Failed Dave Smith Comedy Tour Dates: Comicdavesmith.com Watch on BitChute

The Truth About Government Agencies w/ Jim Bovard

by Keith Knight | Jan 3, 2024 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/izgX-GhYh9s Federal law enforcement agencies arbitrarily confiscate more property from Americans each year than all the burglars steal nationwide. The IRS pilfered more cash from private bank accounts because of alleged paperwork errors than the total looted by bank robbers nationwide. Federal bureaucrats blocked landowners from farming or building on a hundred million acres of their own property because of puddles, ditches, or other suspected wet spots. - James Bovard, Last Rights: The Death of American Liberty Jim Bovard is a Senior Fellow for the Libertarian Institute and...
