Crackdowns, Blockades & Backfires: Governments Under Pressure
from Libertarian Counterpoint Hosted by James Just
On Libertarian Counterpoint 1802, James Just and Jason McPhee break down a week defined by governments tightening their grip—and citizens pushing back. California advances the controversial “Stop Nick Shirley Act,” raising fresh questions about fraud enforcement, due process, and the expanding reach of state power. Across the Atlantic, the Irish government deploys its military against its own citizens, a move critics say exposes the fragility of social trust in modern democracies.
