I’m only antistatist until the current state is destroyed.
Many flags adorn the war horse.
A libertarian is someone who knows the price of everything, the value of nothing, and the age of consent in every jurisdiction
“Libertarians are like house cats, they’re convinced of their fierce independence while dependent on a system they don’t appreciate or understand.”
plenty of house cats survive just fine in the wild. its actually something of a problem. please leave house cats out of this.
Yeah, its actually well known that some places actually ask you NOT to let your cat outside as they destroy local wildlife.
My house cat once went and hid under the bed because he was approached by an inquisitive guinea pig. I don’t think he’s surviving in the wild.
To be fair, I’ve seen boars lay a person’s hand open to the bone when she tried to break up a fight
Thought it said librarian
me too, and confusion: …the Librarians HAVE to be inside the schools…
See that’s how they get away with it. Loopholes.
Actually lol’d myself into a coughing fit
Danke
I thought libertarians valued individual liberty.
Sure, the same way conservatives value small government and fiscal responsibility.
There’s definitely those who genuinely believe in those ideals, but they’re few and far between.
The only individual liberties they are concerned with are their own, not those individual liberties of another person or people.
And the liberties they most want are the ability to take away those of the people they wish to exploit.
Sounds like fascist really.
Everything within the corporations, nothing outside the corporations, nothing against the corporations.
The key point is what liberties do they mean. And usually they mean the liberty to have sex with minor and/or effectively owning people.
I’m hardcore socialist, but I have some libertarian friends that just want to smoke weed, they have more in common with anarchists than Republicans.
I deeply hope that’s not a core tenant of libertarianism, how abhorrent.
Yeah in my experience there are two types of libertarian, some lean anarchist but are uncomfortable with socialism, others lean fascist but are uncomfortable with fascism. Then there are those who are edgy liberals who are uncomfortable with how necessary regulation is but I haven’t seen many of them in a while
It’s not usually, the most extreme forms of libertarianism is the complete remove of government control over individual people, which includes a lack of age of consent laws and attracts a certain crowd.
Yeah, but stereotype doesn’t
Are we doing the libertarian/liberal mixup here or what
They are using the american definition of libertarian, which is basically a pseudoconservative.
Quite different from the european definition, which includes leftist ideologies like libertarian marxism (which is in practice extremely close to anarcho-communism)
Yeah I consider myself an anarchist which is a subset of left wing libertarian so I was surprised. I didn’t know there are right wing libertarians that aren’t claiming to be anarcho-capitalists.
Roughly the same, but in the US the Libertarian Party is basically just conservatives who want to smoke weed.
Yeah it’s similar to how there are some libertarian leftists who dont identify with the anarchist label.
You tell me, have you ever heard a liberal candidate suggest age of consent laws should be up to a vote?
Of all the age of consent arguments libertarians make this is by far the weakest. Age of consent is literally up to a vote and can be changed. Thats how Arizona got it’s Romeo and Juliett law in the first place.
Weak, sure. It’s also a public argument made by an official Libertarian Party politician. Most of the stronger ones come from more anonymous libertarians. If that’s what they’re saying in public, etc. etc.
I guess the libertarian label got coopted in US just as the democrat one. That’s not unexpected, but sad
Yeah, it’s like how as an American i have to call myself an anti-monarchist because republican means not quite the opposite here
Oof. Yeah, from the outside perspective it just looks like all the options you guys have is just different labels slapped on top of conservatism
