Google Description for the film

High Fidelity

Rob Gordon (John Cusack) is the owner of a failing record store in Chicago, where he sells music the old-fashioned way — on vinyl. Although they have an encyclopedic knowledge of pop music and are consumed by the music scene, it’s of no help to Rob, whose needle skips the love groove when his long-time girlfriend, Laura (Iben Hjejle), walks out on him. As he examines his failed attempts at romance and happiness, the process finds him being dragged, kicking and screaming, into adulthood.

Our Guest:

Our guest is Nicky P of the new “Peace Freqs” podcast (his previous show was called “Sounds Like Liberty Podcast”).  He also does “Free Markets, Green Earth” which is about how the best way to solve environmental problems is via the free market, and he also curates a show that introduces listeners to new shows in the libertarian sphere by highlighting 5 clips per episode of various shows to help people find new content that resonates with them. You can find all of his stuff at:  http://www.nickpecone.com

Nick also has yet another show called “Parent 2 Podcaster” which is to help people who have both podcasts and kids share tips on how to manage the challenges of doing both amidst the distractions and still getting content created. I was a recent guest and you can check out that interview here:

He also is featured on the Launchpad Media (like our Last Nighters version) and collaborates with our guest from last week, Luke Tatum on a project called “Freedom 365” which is a paid-service to get libertarian inspired songs and clever write-ups delivered to your email every day of the year.

All for a measly $5 bucks a month.

Check it out at: https://www.soundslikelibertypodcast.com/365

Here are his previous appearances on the show with us:

Episode 142 – Chernobyl (1:16:48)

Episode 121 – Dark City (59:51)

We will be sure to invite him back again some time for another John Cusack film (probably “War, Inc.”) in the near future.

Show Notes:

“Some people have asked why the change from Kathleen Turner Overdrive,” comments Judd. “They say I owe it to myself, to my friends, to my parents to keep KTO going, but I think I owe it to myself to go right to the edge. And Barry Jive does exactly that — over the edge, in fact. We want a reaction, and if lawyer bourgeois fans can’t take it, fuck them. Let ’em riot. We can take it. We’re fucking Barry Jive & the Uptown Five.”

We’ll be back next week to do the Valentine’s Day film, “Captain Phillips” with our friend Jared Wall of Breaking Liberty.

Thank you for joining us on this episode of the Actual Anarchy Podcast!

The Actual Anarchy Podcast is all about Maximum Freedom.

Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. If it’s voluntary, we’re cool with it. If it’s not, then it violated the Non-Aggression Principle and Property Rights – the core tenants of Libertarian Theory – and hence – human freedom.

We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter.

We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film.

The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film.

We publish new episodes on Sunday just in time for your Monday commute; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics).

For our show where we talk about movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective, we often watch them on our various devices via Netflix, Amazon Prime or on VUDU (which lets you redeem UV content as well). The VUDU one is nice because once it is in there, you know it will still be there a few months later:

ABOUT

Actual Anarchy, an anarchy unlike what the average idiot thinks it would be. Anarchy means no rulers, not no rules. The non-aggression principle and a respect of property rights are what makes it go.

We host a podcast where we take pop culture movies and showcase moments or scenes or themes throughout that are literally actual examples of anarchy.

Any place, around the world, there are always examples of Actual Anarchy all about you. Sometimes you just have to sit back and take a look. It’s easy once they’ve been pointed out a few times.

Actual Anarchy is real world examples of anarchy in action.

Movies, Shows, Books, News, etc… we host all sorts of content on the site from a bevy of writers enthusiastic for one goal: human freedom

The post Episode 167 – High Fidelity (1:17:11) appeared first on Actual Anarchy.

Destroying the last vestiges of masculinity has long been the goal of leftists. That’s because men are the leaders, and in a revolution, all the old leaders must go. Men must be demonized.

Men are the leaders of pretty much every productive system on the planet. Why? Because the number of women willing to work 80 hours a week from 14-64 without hardly a weekend off is miniscule compared to the number of men willing to do the same.

Recently the NFL has come under scrutiny, first for off-field player behavior, as if a game meant to simulate war would attract anything other than wife-beaters and murderers. Soon after, it was concussions. Punch Drunk has been a term for more than a century. I’m pretty sure everyone could guess brain damage was possible.

Let’s face it though, the left isn’t nearly as squeamish about violence as they pretend. They can’t wait to throw people in camps.

Now, the flag is the big issue. Let’s forget that before 2009 players were in the locker room for the national anthem.

The flag issue, I contend, is a leftist attempt to undermine the NFL by putting conservative’s hypocrisy about Patriotism Theatre to work on itself.

The NFL is a hyper-masculine, inherently anti-egalitarian organization. This grates the left who want an egalitarian society where everyone is treated like it’s kindergarten. We all get the same number of sprinkles, our butts are wiped for us, boo-boos are kissed, and hurt feelings are the only crime. These egalitarian systems are inherently unproductive because resources aren’t allocated to those best able to utilize them.

The NFL spits in the face of all of that, where only the best win in brutal competition. The league is 70% African American. The IQ distribution in the NFL is more towards the quarterbacks, centers, and other team coordinators, and less to those who run really fast. Only a very elite athlete can succeed in the NFL. The average height in the NFL is 6’ 2”, meaning in the top 1%. Weight is similar. Strength even more so. The league has few gay players (whether from disinterest or incapacity I don’t care) and zero transgender players. The NFL has very few Asian players (mostly Polynesian). The few times they brought in a woman as a token, it was a complete embarrassment. If you get injured in the NFL, you’re out. There is no welfare in the NFL. It is brutal, highly competitive, relentless, unmerciful, and highly productive.

Consider Michael Sam, who contends he was cut for being gay. His combine stats were significantly below average for a player in the NFL, let alone the position he played in the NFL. His competition (below) are all faster, stronger, more agile, more athletic, and often smarter.

Sorry, Mike, but you just couldn’t cut it.

Men couldn’t care less about living in an egalitarian paradise, and when we act like we might, women vomit in disgust. Women expect dominant behavior out of men. They rank average looking men as ugly, and average earning men as losers. The 85^th percentile or so is what women consider “average.” It’s the opposite with men. Below average women are “average” and average women are “above average.” This is why men run the world: no one treats us with kindness, fairness, or sympathy. The second we aren’t achieving, off to the glue factory!

Productive systems are harsh and unforgiving, and that’s the world men live in.

Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature

So back to the flag. Conservatives are mostly men, and they love NFL. But because of the conservatism they are also socially shamed into worshipping skycloth. If they don’t, maybe they’re a communist, or worse, “un-American.” So, the issue of kneeling or standing during skycloth’s daily sacrifice got men to fight themselves on whether they were being more of a pussy for not watching NFL or not worshipping skycloth. The left couldn’t win in a fist-fight with men, so they got men to fight each other.

Screw their game! Instead of watch NFL, I encourage every man to be as stereotypically masculine as possible. Get your testosterone through the roof! Eat only toxically spicy food. Eat red meat. Join a flag football club and lift weights. Bang your wife harder and more frequently than you were before. Most importantly, start celebrating highly competitive, hierarchical systems of production. It’s the only way to beat the Soy Boys, and their indistinctly-genitaled harem.

If you grew up in the 90’s, and were lucky enough to have access to TV without your parents around, you may have watched Jerry Springer in all its glory.

From girls in the audience flashing their breasts in exchange for bead necklaces, to fights breaking out on stage after a “ding ding” sounds off to start them, to Jerry himself throwing out his opinions in the matters, it made some of us feel like our lives were that much more “normal”.

But what of Jerry to call out ANYONE, even Trump, for a lack of dignity? Ben Shapiro, the sometimes good friend of freedom, had a funny response:

Just to put that into perspective:

Dignity….riiiiiiight.

Just a snippet from Springer’s illustrious past:

Springer was elected to the Cincinnati city council in 1971. He resigned in 1974 after admitting to hiring a prostitute. The episode was uncovered when a police raid on a Fort Wright, Kentucky massage parlor found a check Springer had written pinned to a wall in their office with “for services rendered” written in the memo.

Otherwise, you would have a difficult time in organising the slaves and call yourself “the government”.

To destroy your nation’s economy, you need to abhor freedom of others. If you lack this quality, you are not “mentally fit” to envy and expropriate others. All your actions can be justified by a piece of paper called “constitution”. There’s nothing to worry about, except anarchists.

Second thing, you should never learn economics. What matters is sociology because it helps us to “screech autistically” and attain the status of victimhood, followed by a biased understanding of the history subject.

By the way, if you come across any “critical thinker” or “learned person” then it is your moral duty to shun his/her opinion without using facts, but sentiments.

Anyway, the above premises are the fundamental and foundational qualities to embrace the civility of a good politician. Only Ron Paul can be a bad politician because he does not support this guide/blog. I condemn him for that.

To begin with:

Power does not corrupt. Absolute power does not corrupt absolutely. It’s the limited power which corrupts the economy wholly. In fact, unlimited power is the science of getting things done without being accountable at all. Without power, you cannot choke down your imbecilic imaginations on anyone’s soul.

Money is the Kim Kardashian of the economy. If you don’t know how to spank (spend) the paper then you are unfit to be a politician. All you have to do is print the paper out of thin air. It is uneconomical to back the paper with gold or any other commodity because it would end up empowering your slaves and they would devalue you later.

Muscles: Kindly sign up with your nearby local mafia gang without letting them know that you’re the best mafia in town. Delude them but pay them handsomely. You need muscle power, along with money power, to get the people obey you decently. Call them “cops” instead?

Monopoly: Imagine people listening to you or obeying you without questioning you or regulating you? It is possible if you prioritise the power of monopoly without sharing it with others. As long as you have the monopoly with yourself, people won’t take you jokingly. Your uncontrollable attitude towards monopoly will determine the course of people’s aptitude and political altitude.

Sadism: All your political speeches should look diplomatic and manipulative. If any trait is missing then you won’t achieve the aim. I know that you are always orgasmic to screw people’s wealth but please ensure that you’re not letting them know, otherwise who would suck their liberties? Try to camouflage your opinions as if you’re the only romantic person in the economy, without letting your people know that you’re going to economically BDSM them, without their consent.

Propaganda: Buy as much as media you can, but on the mainstream level. Anyway, social media memes have limited reach. If some of the media houses don’t gibe with your ‘policy’ then over-regulate their “freedom of expression”. Automatically, the media would love to appreciate your narcism (if you can make them sleep with you over a bottle of whisky). Propaganda is an art of showing yourself clean when you’re not. Imitate the propaganda models of Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, or Trumperica, to begin with.

Regulation: Your chances of getting re-elected is lower if you minimise the regulations. Already people are addicted to submission, fear and violence so it makes sense for you to supply them with more laws, rules and regulations. Make the “book” more technical, biblical and draconian so that you can create more jobs and consultancy firms and the regulatory captures. If you minimise the regulations, you lose your presence  in the history of global economy.

Ideology: Don’t use “isms” at all but do translate the theory into action. For example: You can say that “we believe in democracy” (which is, of course, a mild version of communism) without letting the “social scientists” know that you’re actually doing fascism or communism. I know that you cannot “convince” the mass society all-the-time but you can surely “confuse” them with the ideologies. Develop a “public sphere” and [discursive] “marketplace of ideas” so that people fall for it, and you end up diverting them from the unimportant issues like economics freedom, property rights, judicial independence, etc.

People’s wealth is your wealth. Your wealth is your wealth only. Just don’t forget to use the term “people” in your speeches or else people won’t fall for your Ponzi schemes. The best way to get more wealth from people is to tax their every function, including non-economic ones. They would believe that you’re creating the wealth in the economy, and that’s what matters for the economy of “social security”. When it comes to taxation, always ignore knowing that it is the “compulsory fee” which we pay for the uncivilization.

War: Anything you can do constitutionally is fun. For example: You will be charged for murder if you’re not from the government. You can have more wars so that you can create more jobs through inflation, wealth through defence industries, and popularity through media. War is the health of your political stability. It should make you look powerful, no matter how you’re.

Fair Trade: There is nothing called “free trade”. I mean it is so insane to learn that people can voluntarily trade with another without coercion. The idea of “fair trade” makes sense because it can help you to play with the currencies and trade conflicts at your political whims. The more you bring fairness in trade, the more people would legitimise your defence policy.

Conclusion: If you’re not convinced to be a politician then you need to reread this piece.

The post A Political Guide To Destroying Your Economy appeared first on Actual Anarchy.

What matters to them is their own “political ego” and nothing else.

But, it isn’t my business to decide the best political opinion, statement or scientist because ‘politics is inherently a waste of time, energy, mind and wealth’.

Read the following reasons to know why, and figure them out at your discretion without feeling guilty, low and manipulated:

1.  Debating politics would not change anything except your personality and social impression, which would ultimately make you look stupid in the end.

For example: You have a political opinion about A. Your friend (frenemy) has a political opinion about B. You justify the debate as a “social process of enlightenment” but what would you or your opponent do with the opinion, when the views have simply backfired, and changed nothing, during the process?

If you believe that your political opinion will “simply and suddenly” change the omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent nature of the government then you’re absolutely wrong.

Why should a “characterless gang of the armed leaders” give a fuck about your opinion when you’re not part of their monopoly game?

Ask yourself because the burden of proof is not on me.  

2.  Sharing political opinions is not an act of information-sharing, enlightenment and cognitive emancipation because you’re simply speaking what your government wants you to.

You may believe that you have “freedom of speech” in this case but you’re not doing anything new, simply because your political opinion is manipulative, subjective and asocial.

For example: You believe that government should X and not Y. Your opponent believes that the government should undo X and do Z instead. What you fail to realize  is that the government is going to do what it wants without giving a fuck about your political enlightenment because the economics of the government is dependent upon expanding its power and minimising your freedom at the expense of everyone else.

Your political opinion may lean from left to right or vice versa, but your opinion is simply static within the political spectrum of the system. If you believe that your opinion should make sense then try to pose an apolitical statement and see how your frenemies and government reacts to it.

3.  Well, do you remember the time the slaves banded together to beg their masters for freedom, and they succeeded? Or, the time the Jews pleaded with the Pharaoh to let them free, and they were successful? Such events never happened and would never happen, and it’s easy to understand that such scenarios are silly, right?

Sadly, many of the loudest “political voices” believe that doing the same thing i.e. “asking our chivalrous master to voluntarily cede the parasitical power, is the only way of achieving equality and liberation”. They believe that if you just vote (harder) for the “lesser evil”, all of our problems will be solved! Little do they realize that voting for a lesser evil is still choosing an evil. You don’t need a political opinion to quantify the size of the evil.

You simply need a psychologist to help you understand that there’s only one evil, and that is the government. Lysander Spooner, once said:

“A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years.”

Conclusion:

Debating politics may not be an important tool for those who are newly introduced to the ideas of freedom. Neither it will ever be the solution to attaining freedom. Politics is antithetical to freedom since you are conceding that you require a master. Debating politics adds more fuel to the fire.

Freedom does not come from permission.

Stop wasting your time in debating and trying to lengthen the master’s leash around your neck. Freedom will be won when you take control of your life. Freedom comes from recognizing that you are a free, beautiful, and independent human being. Don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise through “political discussions”.

If #PoliticalDebatesMatter then do follow these steps:

The post 3 Reasons Why Discussing Politics is Waste of Time appeared first on Actual Anarchy.

If you were silent with Obama droning every day of his administration, but hated Bush for doing similar things – you are a hypocrite.

Obama bombed 7 countries in 8 years. It doesn’t matter if it’s a democrat or a republican.

If you were OK with Bush “defending our freedom” with war crimes on the other side of the world (how did our freedom get over there?), but hated Obama for his war crimes – you are a hypocrite.

Bush declared war on Iraq and Afghanistan, using depleted uranium munitions (chemical weapons anyone?)

If you cheered Trump and voted for him because Hillary was campaigning on being a bigger warmonger – not bad.

But he’s a hypocrite now.

If the last statement applies to you, and you now support these attacks – you are a hypocrite too.

We believe that all aggression is wrong and immoral, no matter which little letter is next to the name on a campaign sign.  They both love war because there’s money to be made and power to be had.

In fact, we believe this applies to the individual and that special ceremonies or costumes does not change it.

If it is immoral for one, it is still immoral for the many.

The non-aggression principle is the test to measure when force is justified.

We are not pacifists here. We believe in self-defense.

However, we also believe that the very nature of the State is force embodied and is immoral. It ought not exist and without it the concentration of violence would be diminished by a factor of damn near infinity.

We condemn these acts of war.

Last week, Tim Allen appeared on the Jimmy Kimmy Live! show. Kimmel asked Allen about his attending Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration. Clearly, Kimmel thought he was asking Allen an innocent question. However, Allen immediately became defensive, with Kimmel trying to reassure him that he wasn’t attacking him. Allen then compared today’s Hollywood to 1930s Nazi Germany.

“You gotta be real careful around here, you know. You’ll get beat up if you don’t believe what everybody believes. It’s like ’30s Germany.”

Below is a clip of the interview:

For that brief moment of honesty on a late night talk show, the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect excoriated Allen for even considering comparing Hollywood to Nazi Germany.

The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect demanded an apology from actor Tim Allen after he compared life for Hollywood conservatives to living in “’30s Germany.”

That era, of course, was when Adolf Hilter rose to power and the Nazis began their campaign of mass extermination of Jews and many others they deemed undesirable. The Anne Frank Center called Allen’s comparison “deeply offensive” and said it “trivializes the horrors imposed on Jews in Nazi Germany.”

The “Last Man Standing actor said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Friday: “You gotta be real careful around here, you know. You’ll get beat up if you don’t believe what everybody believes. It’s like ’30s Germany.”

“Tim, have you lost your mind?” said Steven Goldstein, executive director of the Anne Frank Center. “No one in Hollywood today is subjecting you or anyone else to what the Nazis imposed on Jews in the 1930s – the world’s most evil program of dehumanization, imprisonment and mass brutality, implemented by an entire national government, as the prelude for the genocide of nearly an entire people.”

Added Goldstein: “Sorry, Tim, that’s just not the same as getting turned down for a movie role. It’s time for you to leave your bubble to apologize to the Jewish people and, to be sure, the other peoples also targeted by the Nazis.”

Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, the U.S. national organization in the worldwide network of Anne Frank organizations, addresses civil and human rights across America. Through educational programs and grassroots organizing, the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect calls out prejudice, counters discrimination and advocates for the kinder and fairer world of which Anne Frank dreamed.

Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect is a progressive voice for social justice, fighting hatred of refugees and immigrants, Antisemitism, sexism, racism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, bias against the differently abled and any other hate that runs counter to American promise of freedom. In addressing the civil and human rights issues of today, the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect has developed contemporary advocacy techniques that incorporate historic lessons from Anne Frank’s life and the Holocaust. By applying those historic lessons to current issues, the organization works to make the Holocaust relevant to successive generations of Americans. – My emphasis

Countable posted a new video today titled, “Impeach the President!” Rhetoric or Reality? Embedded below.

Following in the footsteps of the media’s ‘Hysteria over Everything’ campaign, calls to impeach Trump are bubbling up in the media. The push for impeachment is a political tool to tarnish the reputation of the sitting president because it serves multiple functions.

First, it reinforces the confirmation bias in half the nation who voted for the other guy/gal. Everything the other team does is evil and the presence of the Impeach Trump headline reinforces them that they are the correct team, the moral team.

Secondly, it allows for political opposition to create their Lists of Evil. Every President has had this. Compare:

If you opposed George W Bush you could easily rattle off:

• Waterboarding
• Iraqi WMD lies
• Bagram torture and prisoner abuse
• The Plame affair
• ‘Mission Accomplished’
• The Great Recession
• The Hurricane Katrina flyover
• Abu Ghraib
• Dismissal of United States Attorneys
• GITMO detention program
• Suspension of Habeas Corpus
• ATF gunwalking scandal
• Administration payment of columnists
• Domestiv Spying and Wiretapping
• war crimes

For Obama:

• Operation Fast and Furious
• Benghazi
• Eric Holder held in contempt of Congress
• Spying on journalists
• The IRS targeting conservative groups
• The great “stimulus” heist
• The Pigford scandal
• NSA spying scandal and Clapper lying to Congress
• Iran nuclear deal and ransom payment
• The GSA scandal
• Polluting the Colorado River
• The VA death-list scandal
• Solyndra
• Secret Service Colombian Hookers
• Government Shutdown Theater closing memorials and parks
• war crimes

Both presidents lined the pockets of the military industrial complex. Both destroyed individual civil liberties. Both increased the size and scope of government. Both doubled the national debt.

​If you naturally agree with one list and resist the other maybe it’s time to ‘diversify your portfolio’ and find more outlets of information. Neither party is interested in the behavior of the President unless he belongs to the opposing party. In the political spectrum, there is not much difference between Democrats and Republicans, despite the common belief that they are the only two choices and polar opposites.

The post Impeachment Talks Distract from the Real Conversation that is Needed appeared first on Actual Anarchy.

The last 2 weeks has been rough for Donald Trump and his supporters. First there was the political assassination of the Michael Flynn. Now his enemies were looking to add Milo Yiannopoulos to the political body count.

Milo, a gay, Jewish, conservative provocateur, who has given the left fits, (And been the inspiration for a massive riot)  was on a YouTube podcast a little over a year ago, in this live-stream he made some comments about the age of consent, and about his own life and sexuality.  Recently the video resurfaced, but cut to make Milo look as though he was supporting pedophilia. I am not going to get into why that is false, but will suggest everyone see the whole segment and then decide for yourself.

The Left and Right both have pounced on this and both have been trashing Milo.

So has this worked?

Turns out the Dangerous Faggot is a harder take out than Flynn was. Milo responded to his critics in a press conference, where he read a prepared statement. He dismissed the notion that he was advocate of pedophilia, pointing to the people he has outed in his career.

He also took that chance to call this out for what it was:

“But let’s be clear what is happening here. This is a cynical media witch hunt from people who don’t care about children. They care about destroying me and my career, and by extension my allies. They know that although I made some outrageous statements, I’ve never actually done anything wrong. These videos have been out there for more than a year. The media held this story back because they don’t care about victims, they only care about bringing me down. They will fail.”

The claim isn’t bold one.

Over the last few years there have been multiple people in and out of media, who have been trying to normalize pedophilia. The most notable ones are some of Milo’s biggest detractors on the left. Publications such as Salon, and the Guardian, have in the past made statements either softening the issue of pedophilia or worse defending it .

There have also been celebrities who have defended or normalized such behavior.

Look at Bill Maher, Lena Dunham  and George Takei .  All three, among others, have spoken on the issue sounding much more damning than Milo.

One will notice in all the above cases, aside from Milo, there has been practically no outrage. I feel like I am seeing parallels with the Catholic Church and the MSM.

This is the real beginning of the media war.

Milo also announced in the press conference he would be resigning from Brietbart and launching his own media platform. The Alternate media is only going to strengthen, and we are going to see the media attacks on them get more vicious, and wild, as they start to lose their hold on the American people. Milo while I disagree with him on a vast number of issues, (thanks to the fact he is basically a step up from Jeb Bush so far as his own views) he is still a positive and honest voice for use to have fighting against the media.

Make no mistake, you may dislike Milo but the real enemy isn’t him it is all the people trying to bring him down.
