The Rise of Dissident Nation

Jeffrey Tucker: “Three features of this movement are striking. First, it’s real and not astroturf. There are no billionaires behind any of it. It’s regular people coming together with curiosity, courage, and determination to live a better life. Second, even though COVID is long over, the number of dissidents against everything that happened is growing by the day and much bigger now than a year ago. Third, the new institutions and events that are growing up around this movement are in for the long haul. It’s because the infrastructure being built here is comprehensive. It involves media, law, medicine, research, education, therapeutics and health, and every area of life. There is a long-term commitment here to rebuild the civilization that the bad guys are trying to destroy. I’m convinced that we have a fighting chance to win this war, even if we still have a long way to go.”
