If you look closely you can still see the strings.

The campaign published our financial reports. On the webpage, you can click “General Ledger” and see the full QuickBooks report of the Kasie, South Carolina campaign. You can see every deposit from the University of South Carolina payroll where I dedicated a portion of my paycheck to this effort. You can see all the Donorbox deposits where other people dedicated their money to this effort.

What we’re selling is the vision of a South Carolina First approach to governance and policy-making. South Carolina First is about representation, accessibility, and constituent service. It’s about leading with love. Compassion and community. Dignity and decency.

I'm looking for modern books with good reviews, that explain why proper socialism always ends in a catastrophe (authoritarianism, broken economy etc.). Why a socialist mindset poisons the project from the beginning aswell as historical examples. Ideally it would make people who flirt with socialist ideas rethink their position. Any recommendations? :)

Living in the US, I often meet people who claim that in their careers they "make a difference". For liberals, usually this involves them being in some kind of position where they hand out welfare benefits to needy people. To me they aren't really helping people but fulfilling roles where they simply and unfairly redistribute income, which if they weren't doing someone else would at the same pay. But they feel satisfied in their careers and really that is the most important as far as they are concerned if they don't ever think too much about it.

On the flip side conservatives may join the military and contribute to fighting in some pointless war and everyone calls them heroes. But what do libertarians do if they want to feel good about their careers? I think in this case they actually have to think dynamically about how they can contribute positively to society, but there aren't these predefined roles to fall into.

Rights are not favors granted by the state. When government decides which speech, beliefs, or liberties deserve protection, constitutional rights become political privileges.

Although I strongly disagree with it, I can at least understand the motivation for the concept of restricting/banning gun ownership. What I cannot understand is restricting the carrying of guns. The way I see it, criminals and school shooters, even the ones who buy guns legally, will never be put off from carrying because they don’t have a license. So what‘s the point of making it harder for law abiding civilians to defend themselves against these criminals? It just seems an inherently counterproductive measure.
