On The Current Culture Wars
WHENEVER one picks a side in an international conflict, they are tacitly proposing a policy of unconstrained taxation for “special” purposes. In viewing the conflict from a third person perspective, people tend to pick a side that reflects their cultural caprice. When we look at the Russia-Ukraine conflict, persons of Ukrainian descent in Canada or elsewhere support Ukraine just because of their…

Sociological Jurisprudence Revisited
IN my last post, I spoke of about the futility of the organization known as Insite and why the court ruled that safe injection sites are constitutional. According to the author of the post I was responding to, the court seemed to follow the doctrine of legal positivism where the social facts of the matter (the fact being that safe injection sites reduce harm) outweigh the potential criminal…

Sociological Jurisprudence and Property Rights
I FIRST came across the term “sociological jurisprudence” after stumbling across a 2014 article on a law and society blog (link is below). The post was made in relation to the Insite case wherein the judges upheld Insite treatment centers as being constitutionally valid through a corresponding set of social facts. These social facts are facts about the need for public health resources. Basically,…

On The Tight Job Market
According to an article in the Winnipeg Free Press, international students are in great fear about their permits expiring. An article in the Times of India paints an even grimmer picture saying “The unemployment crisis in the land they once hoped would offer prosperity and success has plunged many students into a perilous spiral of drug and alcohol abuse, alongside heightened levels of depression…

On Political Activist Opportunism
ANYONE who knows of my work will know that I am pro-Palestine in the property rights sense. In other words, the Palestinian people have a natural right to own their homesteaded property regardless of whatever Messianic non-sense other persons subscribe to. Property rights are concrete whereas religious arguments that look to materialistic history (history centered around the purported relevance…

Natural Law, Praxis, And Drug De-Criminalization
TODAY I came across two articles which speak of the social and legal issues surrounding the use of open drug use and recreational Magic mushroom (or “shroom”) use. Firstly. the article addressing BC’s “horrific” drug de-criminalization misrepresents what it is for something to be de-criminalized. De-criminalization means an end to prohibition, but open drug use and the criminality attached to it…

On Stronger Mayor Powers
ACCORDING to Municipal Affairs and Housing, stronger mayoral powers are needed to “cut the red tape” to get necessary services built faster. Then again, why is there any “red tape” to begin with? Housing, much like any other service, is (and ought) to be based on consumer sovereignty in that the preferences for a particular service simply emerge without relying on the government to procure…

On The Nature of Geo-Political Analysis
ACCORDING to John Mearsheimer of the “realist school” of geo-politics, the world is inherently anarchic in that there is no transcendent human-made law or system of governance that surpasses the authority of sovereign nation-states. By “sovereign” I mean it in the sense that the various national leaders want to maintain the status of national identity but don’t commit to honoring the fiscal or…

Responding to Patrick Bet-David of Valuetainment.
AFTER writing about Assyrian Bishop Mari Mari Emmanuel being stabbed by a repeat offender, I am across a short clip from the Valuetainment podcast hosted by Patrick Bet-David (see here:“Radicalized Youth” – Assyrian Bishop Mari Mari Emmanuel Survives Stabbing Attack In Australia – YouTube). In this clip, David and his colleagues proceeded to engage in all sorts of fearmongering that inadvertently…

A Review of The Brooks-Ammous Debate on Israel-Palestine
THE author, Austrian economist, and libertarian philosopher Saifedean Ammous recently debated the Objectivist philosopher Yaron Brooks of the Ayn Rand Institute. Ammous, being an anarcho-capitalist and Palestinian, is naturally inclined to view the conflict as being a series of totalitarian imperial state interventions under the ideological motivations of Zionism that was (and continues to be)…

On The Stabbing of Bishop Mari Mar Emmanuel
BISHOP Mari Mar Emmanuel of the Assyrian Church was recently stabbed by an individual who was motivated by a hatred of perceived dissent and blasphemy. According to footage we can see and eye witnesses, the Ahmadi Muslim attacker said that he would not have attended the service if Mari Mar had not mentioned his religion and his prophet. Bishop Mari is known for being a hardliner in his basic…

Fiscal Realism as a Remedy for Political Disputes
ACCORDING to Michael Malice, author of the Anarchist Handbook, libertarians do not transcend the political spectrum known as left and right. Now, regardless of whether we agree with Malice on this point is irrelevant because the spectrum or our political preferences are not what ultimately matters. At the end of the day, fiscal realities are ultimate to us, society, and even the politicians…

An Open Letter To All Municipal Governments And Alternative Political Parties
This letter is addressed to all municipal governments and all loosely termed “alternative” political parties and independents who fall outside the two party or Conservative-Liberal revolving door. This includes, but is not limited to, the People’s Party of Canada, New Blue Conservative Party, Libertarian Party of Canada, Christian Heritage Party and other parties and persons that fall within the…

Abortion And Argumentation Ethics.
IN my recent publication titled “Abortion and Anti-Liberty”, I used Hoppe’s argumentation ethics to refute pro-choice arguments to show that it is contradictory to argue that pregnant women can do what they like with their property (or their bodies) when the pre-born also has a right to his or her body (or property). It is also contradictory to argue that one can not come to a conclusion through…

War and Human Fragility
HUMAN beings are fragile. It does not matter how many fights you have been in, how strong you are with an axe or barbell, or how many firearms you have mastered. All that is required for the toughest of soldiers to fall is a hidden sheet of ice, the bitter cold, a heavy tree branch that collapses over you, toxic fumes, disorientation due to a lack of sleep, a hole in the ground that was hidden by…

Fiscal Irresponsibility and the Death of Ideology
EVERY political party lives or dies based on fiscal irresponsibility alone. Not convinced? Then look at the collapse of the Soviet Union and every anarcho-communist society (not to be confused with communes that do business with the outside as seen with the Hutterites or other insular communities) that has folded due to the utopian promises of its founders. These utopians wanted to set up insular…

Gender Ideology vs. Physicalism
THE culture war that gender ideology usually brings about pits identity politicking ideologues who defend their position with cultish fervor against dissenting families and students who object to such cultism on secular or religious grounds. In this entry, atheistic and religiously conservative parents who dislike the cultism of gender ideology can find common ground through the lens of…
