What Country or Region are you based in?

[RichardY]

Curious to see what countries/regions people are based in. Maybe might be a way of sharing information between members Economic, Political, Philosophical, Current events, Local societies etc. I know there's Facebook and Meetup, occasionally see members asking if people live in their area. Don't think I've read posts from any members from France. Seen a few posts of people from the Germanic and Scandinavian countries, Texas comes up a bit maybe with the Ron Paul Libertarian awareness, Lone Star State. I missed out certain regions like Southern Europe, S America, Asia, Ireland, Switzerland, Wales etc as in IMHO probably not having too many listeners or heading for the cliff.

Why is Texas special?

Seen a few people post on the forum from Texas and I figured if there was going to be an American state with people with similar philosophical positions to FDR it would be that state or one of the southern ones. I mean there is Alex Jones and Ron Paul in the State and I think the culture in some parts might be more liberty minded. I found that by looking at Austrian Economics(Laisse Faire) that often links to other people along a similar vein come up. Tried to look for a Marxian "equivalent" of FDR or Mises.org and other then a few ad-hoc think tanks, its not out there imo.

See the image below for those who voted for Trump. It's a larger sampling of possible FDR supporters than Alex Jones and Ron Paul. While Stef does have supporters on the biggest-government-possible-selling-the-country-to-illegals-left, they would be much fewer in proportions to those looking for less government in their lives and National soverienty. That last group would have voted Trump. At the very least they would have voted for "anyone-but-Hillary" or stayed home.

All my opinion, of course. I don't have Stef's data to support my conclusions. I based my conclusions on my experience with listening to the call-in show and reading comments on YouTube videos. But, my most prominant thoughts leading to the formation of my opinion are based on who would subscribe to the content that Stef publishes. My conclusion there is very, very few lefties. They might listen to a few podcasts here and there or watch a few videos or small clips and even share a few with ignorant comments. But I deduce that most lefties would not lower themselves to subscribing and donating to support a show with content that is currently in direct opposition to their various agendas. It would offend them to do so.

It small blue dots around the map are where there are either city-centers like a state capital or where a university exists.
