## Resource

In this episode, the crew is joined by Emo Caucus Chairman, Ben Weir for a chaotic, unfiltered dive into libertarian politics, Free State drama, and the weird reality of trying to build liberty in the real world. They riff on the absurdity of Libertarian Party culture—from instant promotions at meetings to nude dudes at Porcfest—while debating whether any of this actually translates into meaningful political change. Ben breaks down his run for sheriff, explaining how an anarchist approaches law enforcement, constitutional authority, and pushing back against federal agencies. The conversation also tackles infighting within the movement, including the rise of “libertarian nationalism” and whether it’s strategy, trolling, or just pure chaos. ----- Help out the show at PRLFans.com !!
