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]

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.

Very funny!
But is that real sign that someone put up in the road, albeit not seriously? Or is it something someone Photoshopped or, more likely these days, created with AI?
The historian David Starkey said, a couple of years ago, that Parliament is the only institution in the United Kingdom that is not “Woke” – but then came the General Election of 2024 and Parliament became as “Woke” as all other institutions in the United Kingdom (it fell into line). Not that the old Parliament put up much resistance to the officials and “experts” – but there was the possibility that it would, now there is no possibility of Parliament doing anything but going along with evil (actual evil) – there-is-no-hope, none.
Joking about the 5th of November changes nothing – this nation is very likely to perish. Everything here is now controlled by Collectivists – of the most extreme sort.
Meanwhile New York City is, over the next four years, going to collapse – as will the State of New Jersey (already one of the most highly taxed and most indebted States – now there is no possibility of real reform there, none).
And the people of Virginia (dominated by government employees and lobbyists) have elected as Attorney General someone who supports murdering his political opponents, and murdering-their-children.
“It was just a joke” – you will find out that it was not, and that the Commonwealth of Virginia now has an Attorney General similar (although perhaps not quite as bad) as the vicious people who are (or soon will be) Attorney General of Minnesota and Mayor of New York City.
Let us hear no more of the “unintended consequences of government interventions” or “good intentions leading to bad results” – the terrible consequences are intended (both sides of “the pond”) and the intentions are not good – the intentions are evil.
“Guy Fawkes, the only man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions,” my late father used to say.
Many others have said: “Where is Guy Fawkes, now his country needs him?”
