@Porco: The low-content threads are not about F4M or any individual poster - if you take a gander at past low-content threads over the last 3 months or so, as much as 50% of the thread is cluttered with links and videos that only F4M (and perhaps yourself) care about. Instead of this clutter, we’ve created a dedicated anti-civ thread. Please post your commiserations with F4M over there.

Citizen’s United Productions (yes, that Citizens United) says Occupy movement is highly organized, well funded project of Soros and liberal media in new documentary…
“In one of the incidents, DOJ officials allege Richardson and White agreed to have Duane Eleby, 28, one of the accused couriers, bring about five kilos of cocaine through a checkpoint being attended by White. But Eleby failed to follow White’s instructions and stood in the wrong line. TSA screeners there, who were not involved in the scheme, seized his bag, which was filled with cocaine.”
Lol fail.
Sure you’ve heard of Trayvon Martin. Did you hear about this?
Guess he’ll be slow jamming the news with Fallon too.
Okay, they do a lot of great video, but crap like this really doesn’t do much to keep me from leaning in the direction of everyone who says they’re a shill faux libertarian organization which is really working kind of against the cause.
What in the hell is their obsession with Gary Johnson? Sure, he’s an okay guy as far as politicians go, but evidently he’s not even a very good libertarian. The more Reason does crap like this the more I’m persuaded that they’re not fully in this. (Not to mention the almost palpable apprehension they always seem to have with talking about Ron Paul…almost as if they don’t want to be cliche, or to be branded as “Paulites”.) But I guess that’s a good thing. Who would have ever thought that Ron Paul would become so popular that people end up talking up Gary Johnson to try and sound cool and non-conformist.
Ron Paul doesn’t need any other celebrities or gimmicks to bring the house down. Here are some kids climbing trees to see into Ron Paul’s UCLA rally after being turned away with 1,000 others because the event was already full (security capacity maxed out):
How many people have climbed trees to see Obama or Mitt Romney?

Well this is refreshing…
Romney = Obama. Finally, Americans Are Waking Up to Ron Paul!
“Of Course We’re Falling All Over Ourselves”: MSM Gush Over Obama’s Jimmy Fallon Skit
“Romney = Obama.”
When history looks back at the period from 2000-2016 they won’t be able to find a significant difference in the actions of any of the presidents.

It’s amusing that they call a government “collapsed” when it’s just changing who the prime minister is.
Beavis and Butthead Love Joe Biden
I get where he’s coming from. I get that kind of enjoyment too. But I’m not sure it would be enough if I didn’t think it could do anything to improve things. I’d still want to understand the world, but I’m not sure it would be as enjoyable. I think I would have to look elsewhere to get the same level of satisfaction.
Hoppe on “why fight for liberty”

I get that level of satisfaction from the truth - just understanding the true nature of things is satisfying on such a deep level that it is worth the effort simply for its own sake. I think this has to do with the way it minimizes the suffering and difficulties in life by placing them in their true perspective. The fact that I am beaten by the cop is much less painful when I am not also laboring under the false belief that he has a moral right and duty to “punish” me for “my sins.” The pain he can inflict upon me is strictly limited to the strikes and subsequent bruises.

You were beaten by a cop?
