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]

I’m mad as hell – April 15 2009 Yellfest Kentucky Liz, one of our commentariat noted:
Actually, the “mad as hell” scene from the movie Network is circulating like wildfire on facebook. An old college buddy and I were joking around and cooked up a cockamamie idea to have the same screamfest, but when to do it? Tax Day! April 15, noon ET and equivalent times in other time zones. Noon ET–the politicians and financiers more likely to be out for lunch, to witness people pouring into the streets screaming.
Here’s a link to this facebook group/event, please join us, especially Amurricans. Should appeal to the tea party crowd so active nowadays!
The face book page is here
It somehow seems fitting to have a good scream on Rape Day…

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.

If you’re going to try to use our lingo, get it right. We’re “Murkans,” we live in “Murka” and we speak Murkan.”
Of course, to many of us Murkin Gun Nuts, April 15th is also Buy A Gun Day.
(Unlike what many believe, incidentally, this was not an event of my design — that would be National Ammo Day, 19th Nov — but I can claim to have played a modest part in BAG Day’s acceptance.)
Why do I have the feeling I’ll have lots to do if I take April 15 off from work?
‘Murka! Fuck yeah!
Hey! My comment made it to a top level post! Wheee!
I’m a Samizdata star!
Kim can attest to my having started Buy A Gun Day in 2003. I’m working a little on the concept over at BuyAGunDay.net (Link) Open to suggestions for improvement.
