Scott Horton

• Horton is one of those people who nobody will admit to having listened to a few years from now. His hatreds were always apparent, and in the end, this is the kind of stuff that eats everybody who indulges in it from the inside out. And it’s poison for the groups who allied themselves with him too.

• Director of the Libertarian Institute
• Editorial Director Antiwar.com

After Ukraine was invaded in 2014, Scott directed a torrent of hatred toward Ukrainian Roman Skaskiw, a libertarian:

• "@Roman_Skaskiw Go kill yourself, Nazi."

• Roman's response: http://romaninukraine.com/when-your-former-libertarian-hero-calls-you-a-nazi/
• The above commentary is ironic when one considers his wife's vociferous defense of Ukraine, and Ukrainians, during Russia's full-scale invasion starting February 2022. The next month she gave an interview in which she vehemently and repeatedly opposed the slanderous use of "nazi" against Ukrainians: https://x.com/1basemoney/status/1870485693023371719
• One wonders why the need to bring up nazis at all, after releasing his book Provoked two years later: https://x.com/1basemoney/status/1870574739041001545
• Book was started at latest in January 2013: https://twitter.com/scotthortonshow/status/1614002171548258321

• End of interview, Noam asks Scott for one, general example of something Russia did wrong. Scott refuses, but he could have mentioned the hundreds of thousands of war crimes documented against Russians during their entire invasion since 2014:

On Mises Caucus takeover of Libertarian Party:

• "It was about ending the rein of a bunch of people who did not have the sense to oppose the wars for the last 20 years. And who think prioritizing trans bullshit while the empire crumbles should be their highest priority after trying to recruit Joe Walsh to lead them. Get bent."

On Israel vs. Hamas:

• "On the atrocities, a huge part of the story of October the 7th was based on explaining away the results of the implementation of the Hannibal Directive": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYlIiC8YgO4&t=4350s
