Evening Dominic. Just reflecting again on your article and you ask the question why are there not more Libertarians.

Evening Dominic. Just reflecting again on your article and you ask the question why are there not more Libertarians. Before the events of the last three years, I assumed that most of the population would embrace a libertarian viewpoint. How wrong I was. I think the first realisation was in March / April 2020 when I was astounded about how compliant the general population were to being told to not work, stay at home and basically be happy to be deprived of basic liberties. Whether you were in favour of lockdowns or not - you would have expected a bit more kick back from the public. There was not.
Secondly is the influence of the MSM, in particular the BBC. The word ‘brainwashing’ comes to mind when you analyse the output from the MSM - if the narrative is repeated enough times, people eventually believe it. We do not have a mainstream alternative to the current narrative and that is dangerous.
Lastly is the size of The State. I had not realised until recently just how many people are employed directly or indirectly by the Blob. The State is almost a religion in itself and that is also very dangerous. The NHS is, I think, in the top 10 of the largest employers in the world. That is mind blowing.
People THINK they are free - in reality the majority just live in the blob bubble of faux freedom.
