In the second part of our Rittenhouse coverage, we start with a
look at Kyle's reception as a rock star messiah at Charlie Kirk's
Turning Point USA and follow the thread where it leads, from more
on Elijah Shaffer to Tucker Carlson and his 'Trial of Kyle' to Mike
Enoch and the National Justice Party via "a twentieth century
philosopher". In the process, we consider the currency of the
concept of 'Anarcho-Tyranny' and how the term Blood Libel is being
appropriated. Dialectical? Yeah, we're dialectical
AF. And we don't apologise.

Carl Schmitt Wikipedia
- Carl Schmitt (/ʃmɪt/; 11 July 1888 – 7 April 1985) was a
German jurist, political theorist, and prominent member of the Nazi Party. Schmitt wrote extensively about the effective
wielding of political power. A conservative4(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Schmitt#cite_note-4)[[5]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Schmitt#cite_note-5)
theorist, he is noted as a critic of parliamentary democracy,
liberalism, and cosmopolitanism,6(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Schmitt#cite_note-6)
and his work has been a major influence on subsequent political
theory, legal theory, continental philosophy, and political theology, but its value and significance are
controversial, mainly due to his intellectual support for and
active involvement with Nazism.

Anarcho-Tyranny USA
- In the United States today, the government
performs many of its functions more or less effectively. The mail
is delivered (sometimes); the population, or at least part of it,
is counted (sort of); and taxes are collected (you bet). You can
accuse the federal leviathan of many things—corruption,
incompetence, waste, bureaucratic strangulation—but mere anarchy,
the lack of effective government, is not one of them. Yet at the
same time, the state does not perform effectively or justly its
basic duty of enforcing order and punishing criminals, and in this
respect its failures do bring the country, or important parts of
it, close to a state of anarchy. But that semblance of anarchy is
coupled with many of the characteristics of tyranny, under which
innocent and law-abiding citizens are punished by the state or
suffer gross violations of their rights and liberty at the hands of
the state. The result is what seems to be the first society in
history in which elements of both anarchy and tyranny pertain at
the same time and seem to be closely connected with each other and
to constitute, more or less, opposite sides of the same
coin.
- This condition, which in some of my columns I
have called "anarcho-tyranny," is essentially a kind of Hegelian
synthesis of what appear to be dialectical opposites: the
combination of oppressive government power against the innocent and
the law-abiding and, simultaneously, a grotesque paralysis of the
ability or the will to use that power to carry out basic public
duties such as protection or public safety. And, it is
characteristic of anarcho-tyranny that it not only fails to punish
criminals and enforce legitimate order but also criminalizes the
innocent. At the same time the governor of North Carolina
grotesquely fails to uphold his famous oath to protect the citizens
of his state by keeping convicted felons in prison, he has no
problem finding the time to organize a massive waste of his time
and the taxpayers' money to hound and humiliate a perfectly
innocent citizen for the infraction of a trivial traffic
law.
