The Bad Roman Libertarianism Exposed: Corruption and Compromise with Jeremy Harding
Are libertarians really sticking to their principles, or are they just playing the political game? In this episode, we’re getting into some tough questions about the Libertarian Party and the choices they’ve been making lately. Our guest thinks a lot of libertarians are backing people like Donald Trump and Argentina’s President Javier Milei just to stay relevant, even if it goes against what libertarianism is all about.
We’re calling out the hypocrisies within the Libertarian Party and taking a hard look at the policies of some of the big names they’ve been supporting. Do these people actually stand for libertarian values, or is something else going on? Our guest isn’t holding back, especially when it comes to pointing out the harmful stuff Milei, Musk, and Trump have been up to, and how echo chambers are shutting down real debates in libertarian circles.
Then, we take the conversation in a whole new direction: Christian anarchism. Should Christians be rejecting the state altogether and following Christ instead of any political figure or party? We get into this radical idea and what it means for both your politics and your faith.
And we’re not done yet—we also dig into where the money’s coming from in libertarian movements. Are libertarian groups losing their way by taking cash from billionaires and big corporations? Our guest thinks this kind of funding could be selling out the very principles these groups are supposed to stand for.
Let’s question everything together—hit play and join us!
