Libertarian Activist Organizes "Re-Open" Santa Cruz March, Calls Pandemic a Hoax
Libertarian activist Sean Cutler is organizing a march to Santa Cruz City Hall on April 24 in support of re-opening the "local economy". An event listing posted to social media by Cutler promises "speeches" at City Hall, however it is unclear if the event is real or a stunt, as only one person is listed as attending. The event post for the march demands "an end to the tyrannical quarantine" and encourages participants to "bring flags, banners, posters, and the loving spirit of freedom". On March 16, Cutler posted on social media that the COVID-19 pandemic was, "overblown, childish, and insane". The pandemic is "something elderly people ought to worry about, not me," Cutler stated. On April 1, Cutler posted for clarification that he still stood by his statements of March 16, adding that the pandemic "was a hoax then and it is a hoax now".

Sean Cutler is a Student Life and University Guide with the Admissions Office at UC Santa Cruz, where he attends school as a Computer Science and Economics major. Cutler is involved with the Libertarian Party of Santa Cruz County, in addition to formerly serving as President of the UCSC Chapter of Young Americans for Liberty, a libertarian student activism organization. In 2019, he co-founded Decriminalize Santa Cruz, one of the groups that worked to legalize psychedelic fungi and other entheogenic plants in the City of Santa Cruz.
"If you are elderly and the coronavirus is a threat," Cutler wrote on March 16, "it is your damn job to take care of yourself, not mine."
"Stay indoors, have your groceries delivered to you, drink water, wear a facemask, cancel your social activities. I should not have to cancel my life just because I might happen upon an elderly person/infant," he added.
On March 18, Cutler posted a longer statement to social media on the pandemic, including this passage:
"All yall public health wonks who truly believe you are helping out society by forcing us to stay inside, yall are dangerous and wrong. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and it is well-intentioned tyrants who are most dangerous. Y'all have no idea what I or anybody else in society wants, so who the hell are you to tell us what to do? Stop assuming that you know what is best for other people. You don't. Leave people alone and let them make their own healthcare decisions."
"Death to tyrants," Cutler added at the end of the March 18 statement.
On March 13, Cutler posted to social media a copy of a message he sent to the UC Santa Cruz administration, which included a threat to sue the University for its response to the pandemic:
"This is such a childish over reaction. I will crawl into your overly-administered asshole and sue you. I am not going into debt for online classes. I will rip you apart like a mohel rips apart a Jewish baby boy's foreskin."
Cutler is also an anti-circumcision activist, posting future plans on social media for a "genital autonomy" march to oppose what he refers to as "unconsensual genital/bodily mutilation". Much of the political rhetoric Cutler uses focuses on Jewish people and the Jewish Religion, and their use of circumcision.
On social media, Cutler has singled out Jewish people in calls to end the practice, stating:
"We must protect jewish boys from genital torture by banning circumcision asap. #equalrightsforjewishboys. To delay granting legal protections to children is to encourage the anti-semitic practice of brit milah. Circumcision is a hate crime against jewish boys and they deserve better. A society must protect the weakest, most vulnerable members of its population from dehumanization and abuse. Lets end antisemitism for good and grant legal protections to jewish boys to protect them from genital torture. #BanTheBris".
In an earlier post on social media, Cutler elaborated that he in not anti-Jewish and that he is pro-Israel:
"Y'all, I am as pro-Israel/Pro-jewish people as it gets. I love jewish achievements, jewish culture, jewish languages, the fact that, person for person, jewish people have contributed more to human society than any other ethnic/religious group. However, my one criticism of jewish culture is their barbaric practice of mutilating the genitals of their baby boys via brit milah (circumcision). Muslims and jews need to cut that shit out, that is nasty, irrevocable, and heinous. That is a sex crime and aggravated battery on an infant. But besides circumcision, jewish people are the best people in the world and I hope Israel becomes larger:)"

Sounds good Sean!!! That's awesome, my family and I will be proud to attend!!
Cutler's heart is in the right place but he is out of step with world libertarians and should remain courteous and not mix his preferences or conservative ideas with libertarian focus on due process.
The Libertarian International has been telling libertarian fans to take precautions and stay prepped and at home until the COVID data is clear since January 1st when Chinese libertarians raised the alarm on the virus and conflicting data. At the same time its fans are organizing protests worldwide for correct COVID data and to show they are monitoring officials on over-reaching with un-needed rules and harsh fines. Many libertarians are reporting the emergency is over in their local areas based on statements of local doctors, so officials are lagging in some places.

I prefer "Genital Autonomy Advocate" to "Anti-Circumcision." "Anti-Circumcision" is viewed in some people's minds as a negative-positive. "Genital Autonomy Advocate" is positive-positive. Everyone has the right to the genitalia they were born with.

I know from personal experience that Sean is a jackass that finds the most chaotic and ineffective ways possible to support these causes, half of which are fucking terrible. And this article has him all riled up, so he's going to get even crazier now. Prepare yourselves.
