We quote the announcement:
Motion: Resolution of Condemnation
The following resolution was adopted by the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin Executive Committee on April 26th, 2026, by a vote of 7 to 3, with two abstentions.
Resolution
Whereas, the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin platform preamble states:
“As Libertarians, we defend each person’s right to engage in any activity that is peaceful and honest and we welcome the diversity that freedom brings. We seek a world of liberty; a world in which all individuals control their own lives and are never forced to compromise their values or sacrifice their property. We believe that no conflict exists between civil order and individual rights and that individuals, groups, or governments should not initiate force against other individuals, groups, or governments;”
Whereas, the Party is bound by its bylaws to take no position or action inconsistent with the Statement of Principles or platform of the Party;
Whereas, the Libertarian Party national platform affirms that “Individual rights shall not be curtailed, whether based on circumstances of war, epidemic, natural disaster or emergency, or any other pretense;”;
Whereas, Bryce Thon is the founder of the “So To Speak Caucus” and has publicly communicated statements, which have been publicly accessible, through online platforms including X (formerly Twitter), either directly or through accounts under his control or influence;
Whereas, statements associated with this account have included advocacy for policies inconsistent with equal rights and individual liberty, including but not limited to:
- July 18, 2025, and March 28, 2026: “repeal the 19th”
- March 31, 2025: “Repeal the 19th. End women in the workplace. Outlaw abortion. Abolish no fault divorce.”
- August 16, 2025: In response to a question asking whether a proposal to remove “40 million immigrants” included “all people born in a foreign country, including U.S. citizens,” the account replied: “Yes”
- April 4, 2026: “Prepare to be radicalized. 100m need to be removed from the country to get this back”
- March 7, 2026: “We want white immigration”
- July 12, 2025: “Fun fact: ICE hasn’t been aggressive or cruel enough to make 40m+ want to leave on their own.”
- April 22, 2026: In response to a post stating “Indians assimilate faster and more extensively than any immigrant group,” the account replied: “They all need to go.”

Whereas, such statements are inconsistent with the Party’s principles, including equal rights and opposition to discrimination based on sex, nationality, or identity;
Whereas, such statements further conflict with the Libertarian principles of life, liberty, and property by advocating policies that would restrict individual rights and freedoms based on identity rather than individual conduct;
Whereas, such statements also conflict with the principle that individuals, groups, or governments should not initiate force against other individuals, groups, or governments;
Resolved, that the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin formally condemns and rebukes these positions as inconsistent with its principles;
Resolved, that these positions do not represent the views of the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin;

“What is the usefulness of a public censure like this?”
I think it is obviously valuable to put distance between the Party and the atrocious statements of Bryce Thon. Of course at this point, after many years of terrible leadership across the country, the LP brand may be too tarnished to ever recover. But if there is ever going to be a recovery, condemnations like this are a necessary part of it.
Can someone explain why every sadsack libertarian is OBSESSED with 2014 era 4chan memes?
It’s like a whole aesthetic for them, about 10 years after any of this stopped being funny, much less edgy. The Cringe Dad aesthetic.
I haven’t seen the Pinochet helicopter meme since Chris Cantwell was in tears, and this outstanding political theorist has it as his movement’s profile pic. Classy AND timely.
I believe Bryce Thon is a region rep for LPWI.
Or was.
Good for LPWI.
And yet, Nekhaila nominated and LNC just appointed Thon to CSC.
The thought police has turned a free speech absolutist organization like the Libertarian Party into a shell of its former self.
Libertarians don’t need to approve of Mr. Thon’s statements. He doesn’t need to ask my permission to ramble on the Internet about policy fantasies.
Starting with the public efforts of these people to attack others with “words are violence” or the “raising money” equates to theft and embezzlement, these sort of people have blocked any chance of the Libertarian Party being able to be a viable organization.
