    Difficult when they’re [Libertarians R Us] on every corner.

    I totally understand if you don’t want to give any information related to where you could be located, but can you actually provide an example? I’m genuinely curious because other than the christian book stores I’ve been to in the midwest and deep south, when visiting family or on vacation, I’ve never actually seen a conservative bookstore, much less a libertarian one, granted that was a joke. I mean, other than leftist shops, I usually see neoliberal “4 hour workweek” drivel, but beyond that I’ve rarely come across libertarian books except for Rand’s or the collective works of Adam Smith, who was more of a Liberal. Nothing like “For a New Liberty” by Rothbard.

    And Chompsky [sic] was the fucking “Vote Joe Biden for harm reduction” guy. Not exactly a revolutionary.

    I mean, I don’t disagree that he is too liberal, and less revolutionary that I’d like, I mentioned him because of the relevance of “On Palestine,” and the fact he and Graeber are influential to me in how I got to Anarchism.

    I have a hard time finding a B&N still open. Nevermind the boutique leftist libraries.

    I have the opposite experience, but I guess that’s just geographic positioning.
