The first trillionaire may not even exist yet, but the outrage machine is already warming up.

Inflation is not some mysterious force floating through the economy.

Justice Clarence Thomas just hit progressivism where it hurts: its history. The media wants you to believe progressivism is just compassion, reform, and “being on the right side of history.” But the record is a lot uglier: Woodrow Wilson, federal segregation, eugenics, central banking, war, bureaucracy, and the never-ending growth of state power. In this episode of Are You Smarter Than A Libertari...

The Southern Poverty Law Center just got hit with a massive federal indictment and the allegations are wild.

When politicians say “we’re going to war,” who exactly is we ?

Before Das Kapital , there was 1844. In his Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 , a 26 year old Karl Marx laid the philosophical foundation for his war on private property. Alienation. Species-being. Estranged labor. Money as the “universal pimp.” Communism as humanity’s redemption. But was Marx diagnosing the disease correctly… or prescribing the wrong cure? In this episode of Are You Sm...

If you still think this is about wages or vibes, you are missing the real enemy. Watch, listen,...

Every time socialism faceplants, the excuses come out like clockwork. “It was sanctions.” “It was capitalism.” “It was outside interference.” Funny how socialism never fails on its own.

From dark web identity schemes to quiet financial retaliation, this episode is a masterclass in why p...
