The guy's Wikipedia page[1] is a wild ride. Let's see: He's a cosplayer. He's telepathic. He speaks to dogs, both dead and alive ones. He speaks to dead people, too, including Ayn Rand. He has seen the resurrection of Christ three times, but he can't talk about it. He met a lion, as a gladiator in the Roman Colosseum 2,000 years ago.

Good luck, Argentines.

Argentina had strict lockdowns and in the height of a wave, a picture leaked of the President and his huge family all gathered together for a fancy dinner. My coworkers were furious.

Oh yeah, and Cristina and all her shenanigans.

> He's a cosplayer.

Oh, you mean in addition to being an ancap?

Anarcho-capitalism is a nonsense label to allow libertarians to cosplay as anarchists without having to give up on their positions of power. It seemingly only exists so rich people can be against paying taxes or having to follow laws and regulations while getting to pretend they're revolutionaries "fighting the system".
