Objectivism is an understandable overcorrection due to the author's experiences with Communism. Unfortunately, like Communism, it misjudges human nature and economic reality. Where they believe that the "producers", (i.e. people who work and innovate) will naturally rise to the top, reality has...

Yet, they haven't been able to fill the void left from the libertinism that often stems from their ideology. It's not that the NAP is a bad ethic. It's that it's incomplete. Without a complementary worldview to accompany it, intersectionality fills the void and subverts libertarianism. That is...

Yet, that ideal doesn't seem to have the staying power of more complex worldviews. See the Libertarian Party betraying that principle to cater to BLM, which wants to violate the NAP completely through compelled action and speech as well as wealth redistribution.

I took your words to mean that those comics were being pressured to change. If they haven't, good for them. I always find the notion of an atheist community laughable. Atheists often differ on whether you can derive any truth from observation, whether property is good, etc. Absence of belief...

The comic book industry has, unfortunately, brought into PC culture on a global scale. A course correction resulting from longtime fans revolting and SJWs not buying anything is inevitable and, arguably, has already begun. And, yes, white knighting for Islam while moaning about Christianity is...

Until, inevitably, Europeans discover their religion again and later generations of Muslims actually read up on their own. It will be a couple decades, but I foresee a shift in attitude there. The Non-aggression principle is a single moral imperative. It is basic and easy to follow. However...

Damn autocorrect. The Church isn't dying. It will get smaller as the left-leaning Catholics either leave, die, or have children, but there are plenty of conservative Catholics left. To their credit, even bad Popes and bishops haven't changed core teachings. The Church inevitably goes through...

Culture ebbs and flows all the time, but you're right. The church needs to grow a spine again. Catholics need a hardass Pope, for example.

People want some sort of moral order. A way to be virtuous. When libertinism does away with traditional morality, you create a vacuum for a new religion to fill.

Libertarians fail because they fail to realize that humans are built to depend on and maintain a social order. They tend to embrace libertinism, which devolves into intersectional social justice for lack of moral meaning. The Non-aggression Principle inevitably fails when violence is redefined...
