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 quote of the day – A radioactive, reanimated corpse stitched together from clout, resentment, and cocaine To be clear, none of this has much to do with actual right-wing or conservative political thought. If you’re wearing tweed and reading Sir Roger Scruton, please carry on.
The influencer ecosystem I once inhabited was the Chernobyl-ass Frankenstein of right-wing politics. A radioactive, reanimated corpse stitched together from clout, resentment, and cocaine, which desperately needs to be taken out back and shot for everyone’s good (it’s own included). Unfortunately, monsters are hard to kill

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.

I read several posts by this lady on her Substack and came away with a sense of how unpleasant much of this online experience now is.
Oh well, on with the weekend.
Lauren Southern claims to have been very badly treated by her husband – and I suspect the lady is telling the truth about that.
As for other people the lady attacks – I am sure there are some rotten apples on the right.
The teetotal Donald John Trump can not be blackmailed (if he had anything that could be used against him the Corporate State would have used it long ago) – but some drug abuser and/or sexual pervert can be blackmailed, so is exactly the sort of person that the security and intelligence services would promote as “controlled opposition”.
For example, I suspect, strongly suspect, that Nick Fuentes has been a tool of the security services – for years.
It is also worth noting that Tucker Carlson has, in private, always hated (really hated) Donald Trump – as the leaked e.mails show. So what is Mr Carlson doing in the MAGA movement? He can only have one reason to be there – that reason being to DISCREDIT it by linking it to support of Mr Putin, hated of Jews, and support for Islamic powers such as the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In short, none of what appear to be Mr Carlson’s opinions, what he spouts in public, may be his real opinions.
On the other hand I suspect that Candace Owens is NOT an agent of the Deep State (the Corporate State – who have influence over SCOTUS and so on – which is only to be expected given the social environment that Justices live in), the lady appears to really believe everything she says – from the Moon landings were faked, onwards. Mental illness – which should be pitied, not despised.
Sadly rather than helping Candace Owens, some people seek to “validate” her delusions (about the murder of Mr Kirk and so on) – which pushes this unfortunate lady deeper-and-deeper into mental illness.
I fear that will end in terrible tragedy.
People now are starting to forget that before he “jumped the shark” by promoting supporters of the Third Reich, Mr Carlson was an incredibly effective infiltration agent.
For example, Mr Carlson got many conservatives citing Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt – which was grimly amusing as (as Mr Carlson knows very well) Theodore Roosevelt was an ardent Progressive, who supported lynching (for example of some Italian men) and believed there should be no limits to government power at all – with all natural resources (including land) being controlled by the government – see, for example, the platform of his Progressive (“Bull Moose”) Party in 1912.
To get conservatives cheering the name of “Teddy” Roosevelt must have amused Mr Carlson greatly. By the way the late Richard Nixon was a “TR” fan – which should surprise no one who has studied the record of President Nixon – wage and price controls, unlimited government spending, support for government health care, crawling to Mao (perhaps the largest scale mass murderer in human history), and-so-on.
