Deutsche Welle ran an article this week about some guys who dressed up as Sharia police in the German city of Wuppertal and encouraged fellow Germans to abide by orthodox Islamic law. They told people not to gamble or consume alcohol.

This piqued my curiosity on several levels. First, I had no idea there were ethnic Germans who were converting to Islam. Can you imagine a future, Muslim, Germany that has returned to Nazi expansionism, but now it’s Muslim and Jihadist, too?
German Jews just can’t catch a break.
Second, this is not the right way to spread private law. The proper way is to build a community around the idea of Sharia law, live it and document how awesome it is. Going out and nagging people who haven’t expressed an interest is detrimental to your goals.
Compare that to libertarian activism. Perhaps we shouldn’t be going out and nagging people about liberty. We should be building our own communities instead. Then we can live mostly the way we want and simultaneously show off just how awesome and empowering liberty is.
The Free State Project is an early, if accidental leader in this. It won’t be their wishy-washy minarchism or their cozy little corporation that makes an impact, but the communities of libertarians in New Hampshire that have sprung up without any conscious planning.
Third, if it’s not a good strategy to go out and nag people about what you think they shouldn’t be doing, maybe it could instead be a productive libertarian activism strategy to go out and consciously validate people’s expressions of liberty. When you see a small businessperson providing a valuable service, a pot smoker enjoying a toke, an open carrier displaying his firearm securely or a child who’s directing his own education through an unschooling practice, tell them, “Libertarians support you!”
As for the German Sharia Police, Deutsche Welle published an editorial in which it claimed, and I quote, “It cannot be accepted that the state's power is questioned or threatened in any way.”

Maybe that German return to Nazism isn’t as far off as I thought.

Thanksgiving travelers opted out of commercial air travel in large numbers across the country on Opt Out Day as passengers reported unusually quiet airports and shorter than usual security lines.
We Won't Fly has received multiple reports of the federal government's Transportation Security Administration(TSA) shutting down full body scanners, selecting fewer people for secondary screening, using less invasive patdowns and being unusually friendly and helpful to flyers.
We Won't Fly achieved its goal for Opt Out Day. The TSA rolled back its security theater, if only for a day. Millions of travelers opted out of flying entirely, exactly as our campaign urges them to do. Working in tandem with allies across the nation, We Won't Fly has, in just over two weeks, achieved victories on at least 8 major fronts.
