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 – Scotland dials the dystopia up to 11 In April 2025, (a Free Speech Union) member — let’s call him Craig — was driving his four-year-old son home to Glasgow after a day out at an amusement park in Falkirk when another car cut him up as he was exiting the M80. Craig had to swerve to avoid a collision. He suspected the other driver was drunk and called the police from his car.
Both vehicles eventually stopped, and the police arrived. They declined to breathalyse either driver, but took Craig’s dashcam footage to investigate whether any laws had been broken.
A week later, officers contacted Craig to tell him that an offence had indeed been committed — by him, not the reckless driver.
His “crime” was muttering the words “smelly black bastard” under his breath seconds after almost being driven off the road. The windows were closed, so nobody outside the car could have heard him. The other driver was not looking in his direction and could not have seen him say it. The only person who might have heard was Craig’s four-year-old son in the back.

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.
