What is QAnon?
Who is Q?
Tommy spent this last week stuck in a Q-hole attempting to gain insight on the phenomenon that is Q. What he discovered entertained, surprised, and intrigued him. There’s no way to discover every angle of Q in a week, but Tommy wanted to avoid the complete mind rot he was sure to experience had he followed every rabbit hole of the Q-sphere. So here’s his introduction to QAnon.

Year Zero 117: Owning Culture – How The Left Is Winning 2020
I’ve heard it said that the identifying characteristic of a conservative is someone that doesn’t want to knock down a fence without knowing why it was put up in the first place. This philosophy of inaction not only prohibits conversation, it also limits creativity and solutions.it has become abundantly clear over the last few months that conservatives would rather give up the moral high ground to their ideological enemies than stand on principles. At no time in my life has it been more clear than now just how feckless and ineffectual conservatism actually is.

Just as the boom bust cycle of the economy becomes inevitable through state intervention, so does the boom bust cycle of culture.

Year Zero 112: Escaping the Machine; Self-sufficiency and Self-worth
A man’s liberty must be an autonomous pursuit of independence. As libertarians and anarchists there is a tendency to depend on the collective to grasp theory and philosophy; so as they accept and achieve liberty so do we. But not all slaves wish to be unshackled.
Rather than searching for the most brilliant minds to draft arguments convincing the masses that liberty is to their benefit individuals must begin to act in pursuit of their own liberty; setting an example and living a life of self-sufficiency and self-worth.
