Comments on: Stefan Molyneux: The "Against Me" Argument http://www.homelandstupidity.us/2009/08/23/stefan-molyneux-the-against-me-argument/ Protect yourself from government gaffes, bureaucratic blunders and incumbent incompetence Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:25:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Krof http://www.homelandstupidity.us/2009/08/23/stefan-molyneux-the-against-me-argument/#comment-19513 Krof Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:44:16 +0000 http://www.homelandstupidity.us/?p=2051#comment-19513 Thank you for a fair analysis. The internet seems to be clogged with what looks like fake grassroots threads about how Stefan is making their kids run away and skip college and whatnot. Thank you for a fair analysis.

(Disclaimer: he and Michael Badnarik are the only speakers I've seen in person so far.) Now that I see that another "bleeding heart liberal" has found him helpful, I'm thinking that maybe he is particularly useful for convincing liberals to abandon government, and then to solidify their confidence after the initial conversion. Actually, in my case it's more the latter-- I didn't read any of his stuff (or see him in person!!! I did! On the Drexel U. campus on July 5) until well after my "conversion" in early April of this year. I particularly like his bold wresting of morality out of the hands of the (state-sanctioned) religious establishment, in Universally Preferable Behaviour: A Rational Theory of Secular Ethics. The PDF is available for free on freedomain.com. I have yet to find a more dazzling contemporary thinker/speaker than Molyneux.

This is a great angle of attack. Definitely going to use this.
