We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Samizdata slogan of the day I think the terror most people are concerned with is the IRS1.
– Malcolm Forbes, when asked if he was afraid of terrorism
1 = for non-US readers, IRS is the Infernal Internal Revenue Service, the United States’ theft enforcement arm

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Terrifying, indeed.
The IRS also has a somewhat funny side, probably an unintentional one.
I recently received a 3-paged letter from the IRS. It was single-spaced. And obviously generated by a computer with minimal human input.
Translating the governmentspeak into English took me near to half a day! But, I think I know what the letter was trying to tell me.
