Counter-economics is the use of free market principles to subvert or undermine cartels and monopolies maintained by a delusional group of bandits who refer to themselves as "the state."

Looking for files to torrent that are worth a libertarian/AnCap's download that the State/Central Banks don't want people to seed that are not available on the surface net?

Recently got into torrenting and was just curious if there's any specific files worth torrenting that may otherwise be at-risk of deletion and/or the State/Central Banks do not want people to have worth dl'ing and seeding?

For example, torrents that are rare or only available through torrenting and not on the surface web to say the least.

That's all, thanks!

What's the name of this libertarian/AnCap clothing website again?

Okay, so, this user has been looking for a replacement AnCap t-shirt since the ol' Anarchyball one from six-plus years ago is getting ripped up more and more over time and that gentleman entrepreneur seems to have fallen off the face of the Earth, flat or somewhat-round, as much as this user would love to see him come back and re-up his shop site and purchase from him, as his 'cut' and material were on-point and helped the skin breath, there's another shirt out there that, although not as breathable, is likely where this user should go for their shirt-needs, there's just one problem....this user can't find nor remember the name of this libertarian/AnCap clothing site!!!!

Who sold the AnCapistan flag shirt and tank top in polyester ('ball's was in cotton, iirc), that had a slightly different 'cut' (delineation between yellow and black) and 'hooked' up at the upper-left shoulder in a CURVED fashion (whereas the 'ball version did NOT 'curve')?

Can't seem to find the site ANYWHERE anymore, nor in internal documents have on-hand, because this user can't recall the name of the site!

It's NOT proudlibertarian/libertymaniacs/themadstatist/Birdie'sspreadshirt/2Cents'/anarchyball's/lionsforliberty/TomWoods' sites/LP sites. Anyone remember what this user is referring? Tried reverse-image-searching this image (and many others), and only zazzle/redbubble/printerval/teepublic sites pop-up, for the most part, and it's NOT them!

https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FVqrcjWF.png&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=4c7b72ba42062853bd5d9c5034505ee2759716457d246ea4c98d18f432cc0ce0&ipo=images

Barring finding this site and nabbing an in-stock shirt or two, this user will just go with the Rssian-footbol link one that's basically what this user has been looking for, and apparently in more breathable cotton than polyester, despite having to wait for it to arrive from like, Siberia.

Help?

Thx.

Peace,Luv,andAnarchy!

Can anyone name an AnCap-aligned insurance company for one who lost coverage to now do business with?

Title.

Someone lost coverage a ways back and is looking for a new policy/company to deal with.

Consider future draconian measures being enacted by the new world order and factor that into one's suggestion for who to deal with. Basically, such a person is not keen on doing business with most-anyone with a mainstream/lamestream TV commercial and is also not keen on doing business with monopolies who didn't earn their market leadership, for 'antifragile' purposes.

Bonus question:

Is this 'GoliathLifeInsurance' one 'ConradThompson' (RicFlair's son-in-law) advertises for on his podcasts any good/any libertarian? That's all. Thanks for the time and attention.

Bonus question two:

The good Dr.Woods and BobMurphy talked about something called 'term life insurance' a couple years ago on an episode of his podcast, any comment on this?

Peace,Luv,andAnarchy!

Anyone see this AnCap entrepreneur lately, or know if/when such clothing items are or will be available in the same cut?

Okay, so, six-or-so years ago, this user found the shop site of 'Anarchyball', the guy some people confused with Mr.Dapperton (and/or vice versa) and it was through him that people like EricJuly got that great AnCap-flag hoodie he wore in the 'Statism' music video collab with EscapeTheFate, and they had t-shirts with that design as well (they were sold out of the hoodie back then, but this user got the shirt but it's been on it's last legs, stitching-wise, for the last little while now) and was wondering if he's resurfaced anywhere and would like to find out whatever happened to him.

See, this user has looked ALL over the internet for a replacement shirt (preferably more and even the hoodie, finally), however, none seem to use the seamstress he used because the cuts and materials are way off on each one.

One online shop had a tank top and a shirt in that design, however, they were sold out of one and the other wasn't the right cut and zazzle has some similar stuff but not exactly what am looking for, they're not exact replicas, they're cheap stuff for smaller operations. Gearbubble's shirt is one side only, a different material and different cut (cut meaning the angle of the diagonal line separating yellow from black). There's some shady-looking Siberian site that shows probably the best-looking of the rest outside of the original this user has seen, but, whilst am not one to peddle the mainstream pro-Ukrayn narratives, am hesitant on doing business with a site for a mere t-shirt all the way from somewhere in Siberia....(suffice it to say, am against Chi-com/former Soviet satellite dropship scam/sweatshop labor sellers).

Last activity from this gentleman in-question on FB appears to have been a few years ago and he said he was hoping to start up production again, but, alas, nothing yet.

Asking for shopping advice for the purpose of practicing counter-economics and helping a special someone in another country do the same

Preferably brick-and-mortar stores, perhaps ones with giftcards available for international purchase.

Am wanting to build a 'care package' of sorts, for a special someone, and with a libertarian-/AnCap-theme, basically, this user doesn't want to do business with firms where so much as a penny goes to evil/the new world order, besides online retailers with indepedent works like Zazzle/Redbubble and Institute/podcast/influencer shop sites within the AnCap genre online like store.Mises and TDV shop, AshtonWhitty's store, etc., for this person in Canada to walk to and shop at with a giftcard of or receive clothing of to then know that that place exists and for future in-person business not involving this user (who is in another country).

Am a hapless romantic and wanting to be 'cute' and wanting to play up this person's astrological traits (this person is a Gemini and this person's sister is a Cancerian and this user would like to ingratiate to the family, even looking or something for this person's mother/father) and ethnic backgrounds (Swedish, French, and Spanish, links toretailers of a libertarian-mindeset in those countries are welcome too).

Basically, where would, say, a JuliaTourianski/BraveTheWorld or JessicaKill shop at, or a JeffBerwick (if in Canada) and TimMoen shop at for their wives?

Thanks for reading.

TL;DR: Am looking for places to shop for a woman, or for a woman to shop at, with an AnCap-focus and not, say for example, some firm with tentacles of the likes of ArleneDickinsonOrLoriGrenier taking a piece of. Not QVC or ChineseScamSites like Shein,etc..

Does anyone who paid care to share a link to an Odysee account streaming MisesU this week?

TL;DR: Family broken and broke and been wanting to attend for five years, same with Anarchapulco, and LvMI is showing MisesU virtually for $25 but registration and payment for that may have ended by now and either way, this user couldn't come up with the dough for it, so...is anyone able to share a link for this user to piggyback off of this week, please? Thanks.

Are NFTs a 'gateway drug' for normies OR a perversion and scam?

Been wondering this for awhile and admit am not super-expert at crypto, although feel have the knowledge more so than most normies and even some intermediate-level people (knew BTC would blow up since discovering it in like, 20...13 was it? Somewhere between 2011 and 2013, /digress). Was just watching the end of the last day of CryptoRevolutions CryptoSummit and the chat talked about Haven Protocol and Secret Network and one of the hosts talked about Bitclout and this user looked 'em up on coinmarketcap and Bitclout looks interesting. Was already familiar with flote and twetch and some other libertarian/crypto social network forgot the name of...and haven't remembered what it was in the past two or so years...but this one was new to this user.

Bitclout's main page has a screenshot of someone asking if NFTs were 'mainstream's gateway drug down the crypto hole' or not.

Was already familiar with NFTs and have seen commercials for some, but have a personal maxim of 'if it's on mainstream TV airways...it's likely poisonous or a scam otherwise and/or has nWo 'tentacles' dipped in its success' and this user doesn't want to let even a penny go towards such evil-dynasties.

Case-in-point:

WWE/VinnieMacJr. has NFTs and think the NBA does too, but the NBA is CLEARLY bastardized-beyond-belief (AdamSilver might be an alien-in-disguise) and ran all the competition out-of-town and, while this user has no problem with a 'market leader', in a free market the market leader must continue to be good/do good business to stay atop (whether or not what some call 'humans', an amalgamation of other species or not, being animals or not is not the point of the following analogy, but in an episode of 'Star Trek: TNG' in season 2, Dr.Pulaski and CounselorTroi discuss man/an animal being at their best when hunting or being hunted, thus competition drives markets, thus prices lower for the consumer to win, and EVERYONE is a consumer, only some are producers and/or distributors too), so, being that these two entities want to make money despite their (numerous) failings and getting away with being able to 'tell' their audience/customers what they want by being monopolies (NBA is NOT a sport, it is a purveyor of a version of a sport, same with WWE, this user HATES seeing at BestBuy/F.Y.E., etc., the 'wrestling' section of DVDs listed as 'UFC/WWE section', for example)....

....Then WHY oh, why...would such entities wish to 'gateway drug' people into a space/sphere-of-influence and technology that could/would/should help increase competition and, thus, reduce their artificial monopolistic market share of the 'pie'? As Rothbard wrote in the posthumous 'TheProgressiveEra', there's a triumvirate of unions, corporations at the table (recall the spectator.org article on Obummer back in '09-ish on 'stakeholdership'), and government to act as a cartel and keep out those not initiated into the club, usually for the sake of either a true 'DavidicMonarch' or 'theChabad' or something like that (according to someone this user read comments from years ago online...what if this user doesn't wanna be a slave to either the Annunaki parent faction OR the Annunaki rebel faction!!!??? /digress).

Thoughts?

TL;DR:

Is it worth buying a video clip of a wrestler falling off a giant cell in an arena through a table for over a hundred grand?

New UK based grey market shop

This is not an unqualified endorsement, but so far I have ordered, and received, one item from here. green-man.ogn.app/#/ The reason I am posting this here is because opportunities for practicing counter-economics in the uk are frustratingly few.

Not sure what advantages the token is supposed to offer over BCH/DASH etc, but a project with the stated goal to ”Generate a new economy free from government taxation and interference” is worth a mention. Particularly as it’s based in the uk, where a pro-statist attitude seems prevalent.
