I appreciate Cody Wilson speaking in whatever venue will help share his message, but I won't click on any Tom Woods link. He is a glossy version of the worst of the alt-right.

I believe the Confederate states had the right to secede, even though I'm adamantly opposed to slavery.
Tom Woods actively celebrates the cause of the South, and lionizes those who treated the war as an assertion of white supremacy.

It's what the Democrats amplified from some dope and they took it and ran with it. It's now a pejorative to be taken as bad man, very bad man.

He was a founding member of the League of the South, which is very much a white supremacist organization.
His association with the Ludwig von Mises Institution is like making Michael Moore a senior fellow at the Joe McCarthy Foundation -- his anti-immigration stance is the exact opposite of Mises.
League of the what? Never heard of it... I had to do some digging to figure out what that insignificant group is that Tom Woods somehow never thought to mention in the hundreds of hours of podcasts of his I've listened to. Where did this bug up your butt about Tom Woods come from anyway? From most of your other posts, I know you're smarter than this and can figure it out. This league of the south thing apparently comes from him attending a meeting in 1994 as the group was founding, when he was 21 and young and stupid. His early writings are much different than his more recent writings. Back then, he was cheer leading conservatives and Republicans. And, as a result are all rather "meh" and uninteresting... I made the mistake of picking up a couple of his older books and they were so boring with the Republican cheerleading that I couldn't come close to finishing. He's grown from that into libertarianism, where now he really shines. I think he's doing just great at Mises and is an excellent spokesperson for libertarians. His book Nullification is superb. It's pretty clear for quite a good many years now he's understood that the south had a right to secede, but slavery is also very very bad... I don't know how anyone could think his position is otherwise unless they're just looking for an excuse to speak ill of him and ignore the huge volume of writing and speaking he does all the time.

Since the original is gone on a "community standards" violation, I'm just gonna leave this here...

This thread seems as good as any to bump this conversation. From an email yesterday:

Few things I wouldn't want to be recorded as having downloaded. While it might be "legal", or whatever that means here, I'm sure there are people watching. They should go TOR or P2P torrent.

while I understand and respect your concern, are you equally scared to download machinists drawing? Code is speech, and "educational purposes" is a perfectly reasonable legal defense if you don't actually print it.

I know that most of us here are gun people, and I understand the concern about downloading plans for prohibited parts, and then possessing that banned data. But I would encourage everyone to take some comfort and amusement at the inevitable result of restricting data on the internet. Which is that there are now lots of people who have no interest in guns, but want to have a copy of these plans just because they were banned. Many of those people will also redistribute the data, either as an act of libertarian virtue, or as an act of teenage rebellion. But regardless of motivation, the result is the same.
A while ago, I explained to an elderly liberal the underlying story around 3D printers and the plans which allow them to make all kinds of cheap plastic parts. And after a while he said, "Oh, so they're telling a story about gun control, but they're really just trying to ban Tropic of Capricorn again?" Yeah, that.

Only when it benefits them.
But all the files are named "midget amputee porn" with a number, how will you know what files to download ???
