Browsing through a single day’s worth of articles on the libertarian website lewrockwell.com is enough to confront one with a smorgasbord of despair:

• The bankruptcy of Western nations and their collapsing economies;
• Increasing wars and overseas intervention;
• Desperation to maintain Western-led hegemony;
• Increased state censorship and invasion of privacy;
• The dangers of state-sponsored medicine and disease control;
• Digital enslavement;
• The lack of integrity of the political class; official lies and corruption.
