When he took office, Donald Trump did a complete about-face regarding his foreign policy with the middle east. Notably, he went from condemning Saudi Arabia to tacitly praising them. The US's commitment to regime change and meddling in the middle east makes little sense on the surface. There is no o...

The threat isn't coming from big government but vast extranational corporations that control governments and in certain cases have started wars to protect their interests, which are not yours or mine. For instance the second gulf war and the Afghanistan war, instigated by big oil as they couldn't ge... -
My name is Saarang. I'm 24. I'm from Mumbai, India. I'm new here. I watch FDR videos from time to time. I also bought Mr. Molyneux book Practical Anarchy and I skimmed through it. I'm re-reading it now with a slower pace, but I have a historical doubt which is not covered in the book. It's about the... -

Throughout the Trump campaign and leading up the the election I have spoken with many people online and some in person about Trump's Nationalist platform and his ideas for economic protectionist oriented policy. I certainly do empathize with where most if not all of the people who supported Trump in... -
This is the response from President Obama to an email I sent a few weeks back detailing my concerns on big government and our country beginning to lean more towards Socialism. I am aware of the general sentiment of Obama at this point in time in the U.S., and I may lose some friends for this, but yo...

When it comes to determining what is "fair," the discussion has nothing to do with objective, empirical standards and is instead arbitrary, subjective, and normative in nature. One thing Socialists and other statists can never define is what is fair. Their definition remains nebulous and largely ope...

Hi does anyone know about cloud mining? Does it make any sense? Some people say it's a scam, as you naturally aren't going to get as much BTC back as if you just buy them. But doesn't this assume the price will be stable? Also it seems like this would only apply to people playing the short-term...

I've seen every video there is on youtube of Andreas. Seriously, I'm stalking him, I want to have his babies. But this one is especially great. He goes into some really interesting topics you don't usually see from him, like currency as a form of expression, how cryptocurrencies will win, how fi...

The big question that determines the economic effect on Britain of the Brexit is how big a bitch the EU will be towards it. If the EU decides to be calm, rational and to arrange the trade deal that will most benefit it's remaining members then Brexit won't cause major harm to Britain or the EU. If... -
I'm starting a thread on the economics of the migrant crisis because that at least is one area where it's possible to push back on fashionable but very wrong beliefs. We have to get the word out on this. The German government's policy on refugees is deeply un-humanitarian. The annual cost of th...

So for a bit of time I have been following probably something that will come as a bit of a surprise to this community, maybe because this particular person calls himself a guru and a mystic. Maybe it's my own projection, but I'm still nonetheless going to throw this out here since my passion has bee... -

Hi dear FDM'ers. I've started posting on this forum fairly recently although I've been following FDR for about 2 years now. In a 'welcome' thread I've mentioned that I'm originally from Poland (or Pooland as I call it) and that 5 years ago I decided to migrate to less hellish place - the UK.... -
