That Kinsella has let idealism form his theoretical explorations? Sure, that's fine. Or the "social" meaning, that Kinsella takes no heed of the consequences of his outbursts, to the point of harming people? Hardly. Dishonest: I've yet to see any claim by Kinsella put forth here or on mises.org that was proven to be untrue, let alone a knowing lie. Nastiness: for someone who wears their ethical beliefs on their sleeve, Kinsella is hardly "nasty". Hseih's praise for Total War to preserve the Union reminds me of Cuban nationals who claim they love peace, but swear that w/o Castro they wouldn't know language. She seems to have a severe case of discordant Stockholm syndrome, praising freedom while praising her captors and responding with severe vitriol whenever anyone suggests the Union isn't all about "individual freedom" when they insist on a course of action that kills millions of individuals. Any "reasonable" and "civil" interlocutors can see who is the unhinged and dishonest one - even if such a person refuses to recognize it themselves. Unhinged: without context, what does he even mean? That Kinsella has let idealism form his theoretical explorations? Sure, that’s fine. Or the “social” meaning, that Kinsella takes no heed of the consequences of his outbursts, to the point of harming people? Hardly.
