Hoppe: In A Crazy World

[Stephen_Forde]

Introductory speech from the Property and Freedom Society fourth annual meeting. He describes the bulk of the intellectual cover for the state in our time. It’s pretty funny.

Just a sample:

@Hoppe

Democratic governments such as the US and its European allies are inherently peaceful and do not wage war against each other. If they must wage war at all, their wars are wars of defense against non-democratic regimes, i.e., just wars. Thus, all caountries and territories currently occupied by American troops or those of its European allies have been guilty of aggression, and their occupation by foreign troops is an act of self=defense and of liberation on the part of the democratic West. The aggressiveness of the Islamic world in particular is proven by the very fact that large parts of it are under American-Western occupation and more areas still are provoking such liberating occupation.

That was brilliant. My only fear is someone will read it, except for the last paragraph, and think he was serious and believe it.

I’ve been trying to avoid sarcasm particularly in print because it is too hard to convey it consistently. The longer the windup, the greater the chance it will be misunderstood.

I think if we began to write all sarcastic comments in ComicSans, less mic-communication would occur.

I mean, I don’t think I know a single person who actually likes that font. Really.

lol, I had a friend who opened a restaurant and she used that font for the logo and menus. Only the high quality of the food and size of the servings saved it.
