Jeff Deist joins the Death to Tyrants podcast to discuss themes in his recent article, “Politics Drops Its Pretenses“ and his recent speech on how “meaningless words” create a narrative. Is “democracy” really a good thing? Do those who use it even know what it means? Are we best off when 51% of the voters force their will upon the other 49%? Is it realistic for libertarians to find the right presidential candidate that will win over a majority of voters in hopes to live in a libertarian society? What if secession and decentralization is the best way moving forward? We will hear the establishment tell us that “politics and voting will bring us together” and “democracy in action is a good thing”. Why does it seem, then, that the further entrenched government becomes in our lives, the more divisive and at odds the country becomes?
