Libertarianism
Libertarianism is a political philosophy that is in short anti-authoritarian. Libertarianism as a political philosophy was initiated by French anarchist DeJacque in the 1850s with his letter to Proudhon and his journal, "The Libertarian". This tradition was developed and enriched by many including Kropotkin, Chomsky, Makhno and many more. Later on in the 1950s, the term became extended to encompass right wing libertarians as well, such as anarcho-capitalists and other deviations, with thinkers such as Rothbard and Mises. There are also modern right libertarians who build off the ideas of classical liberalism developed by Smith and others. Anarchist philosophies that are center left such as mutualism (per Proudhon) is also considered libertarian in nature.

The immigration–crime link
From the American Economic Association ("The immigration–crime link", emphasis added):
Since at least the 1800s, immigration and crime have frequently been linked in American political rhetoric and debates. But what does the data actually show?
[A] paper in the American Economic Review: Insights...assembled the first comprehensive picture of immigrant incarceration rates spanning 150 years of US history. Their findings repudiate widely held assumptions about immigration and public safety and reveal new patterns in immigration–crime data.
Figure 1 [see below] from the authors’ paper depicts six panels tracking incarceration rates among males between the ages of 18 and 40 for first-generation immigrants (orange circles) and US-born citizens (blue squares) for the period 1870–2019...
The authors’ work challenges the idea that immigration leads to higher crime rates. The data show exactly the opposite: throughout American history, immigrants have consistently had similar or lower incarceration rates than US-born citizens. This holds true across all immigrant groups, regardless of the origin country or time period of arrival.

Will there be criminal charges filed against McArdle?
If she actually did what she is being accused of, she should be prosecuted for fraud. Will that be pursued by the LP? Who would be responsible for doing that? The LNC? Is it still ruled by Mises Caucus?

People who have never read a book on ww2 germany should shut up about it until they read at least one book on it.
Not a book published by an economist before they came to power, not a youtube video, not a movie, not having finished wolfenstein, an actual goddamned book.
My god. If I had never read a book on a subject, I'd shut the the fuck up about it. Don't assume you know what the hell you are talking about if the basis of the knowledge you "learned" is watching band of brothers 47 times.
Relevant because of recent events.
At least have listened to a dan carlin podcast on it.
