The commissar talk show guy Levin fools a lot of people into thinking he’s some sort of libertarian. Most recently, he seems to be criticizing the civilian security agencies of the US state for buying enough ammo, with our stolen funds, to shoot each one of us five times over. But you really shouldn’t worry, Levin says: the billions of rounds will bring the “rule of law” if the dictatorship and the Fed yield civil unrest. According to Levin, civilization grows out of the barrel of a gun, aimed at us by a uniformed goon of the overlords. Our rulers are just planning ahead for our own good.
