Memes, Money, and Media Threaten Democracy

In this episode of Libertarian Counterpoint, James Just and Jason McPhee discuss the threats to democracy in the US and around the world. They examine the case of Douglass Mackey, who was convicted for posting a meme that allegedly misled voters in 2016, and the implications for free speech and political satire. They also analyze the arguments against third-party candidates in the 2024 presidential election, and the challenges they face in the current electoral system.

In the segment “From the Fields”, they talk about the issue of printing money and its effects on inflation, debt, and economic growth. They also tackle a variety of topics in the “Topic Tornado”, such as the redistricting battle in New York, the protection of journalistic sources, the censorship of a cartoon criticizing Hamas, and the alleged purging of Christians, conservatives, and Covid skeptics from the FBI.

Join us for an hour of insightful and lively conversation on Libertarian Counterpoint, where we challenge the status quo and expose the myths and lies of the mainstream media and the political establishment.
