Q: With Ron Paul suspending his campaign, what now?


A: I give credit to Ron Paul for getting his ideas out there, and he has shown that you can use the electoral process as a soapbox for expressing those ideas. But at the end of the day, those ideas are going nowhere. Ron Paul provokes intense enthusiasm from folks like me, but at the end of the day, we are the minority. We always will be.

I call myself a libertarian pessimist because I believe that freedom works better than government in making society better and more prosperous. But freedom is never going to get the chance. People do not choose freedom. The fact that a sincere and honest fellow like Ron Paul who has been proven right time and time again stands no chance of winning serves as testimony that the American public gets the government it wants and deserves. Honest people cannot win or succeed when people give their support to the liars and the thieves.

People know Ron Paul is right. They know it the same way that you can't create wealth with a printing press or get something for nothing. But people will persist in their delusion for as long as that delusion will last. Truth for all its power is no match for stupidity. This is the essence of libertarian pessimism. People have to be beaten and fucked to their last dying gasp before they contemplate that they may be better off as free people.

Ron Paul's ideas will never take hold until runaway government spending, failing entitlement programs, and hyperinflation ruin this country utterly and completely. If you doubt this, look at how everyone absolutely refuses to learn anything from the economic meltdown of 2008. People are stupid. That is the ultimate reality. The American public is a mass horde of thieving parasitic pieces of shit wanting to live at the expense of other people. This is why they don't bat an eyelash at government bailouts because they believe money comes from a magic place. They expect to receive their magic money bailout as well.

People can ignore Ron Paul and others like him. But they can't ignore reality. Reality always has the last word. And the real sting is not that calamity occurred but that it could have been prevented. The American people will never vote for prevention. They want honest politicians but not yet. In the interim, they want the bullshit they are swallowing to actually be real. They will choke on it, and I will fucking laugh.
