Libertarians want to end the shitshow that is politics. We are just tired of it. We hate it.
I can't even dunk on this one, it's too much
republicans and democrats are all politics this and politics that. I just wanna girl :grillman:
It's literally the kid who was winning in a game through luck now having their opponent coming within 1 point of tying it up with 15 mins lefts going "Well I am tired lets end the game now! Whats the score? Oh lookie guess it looks like I won!"
This is a general American attitude, that politics means you're arguing over something that doesn't matter because real Americans™ already figured out how to organize society properly and that's small business, main street, apple pie and if you're against that stuff then I guess you just hate freedom.
People in America like this don't usually connect the things they don't like with political demands. They get mad at culture war stuff and gas prices.
Do you believe that freedom will somehow lead to a dystopian corporatist world? What proof you have on that?
The world that currently exists
If this person isn't a literal child, they sound exactly like one
We understand the consequences of your pretend, Fisher-Price-brand "ideology" better than you do.
In regards to being allowed to discriminate against minorities:
It's not just "the freedom to discriminate against black people", but the freedom to speak your ideals as a whole, regardless of what they are.
If you argument that such thing should be censored, you have no moral ground in saying anything else should not be censored.
You can't argue that you should pour water on things which are on fire, because then you would have no moral ground in saying that you shouldn't pour water on literally every other thing on the planet :stupidpol:
Running down the street with a firehose spraying wildly, screaming that it's hypocrisy that it can be used for extinguishing fires but not wild fun times as some angry firemen chase me to the tune of yakkety sax, ending in the hose criss-crossing the street through open doors and windows in a non-linear fashion.
Anarchists plan on abolition of the nation-state through revolution, how do the libertarians plan to have the state wither away?
They don't even oppose the nation state anyway, they believe in strong closed borders
I thought this was a bit at first, like the r/conspiracy hexbear-communism post, but no, this is way too committed.
So you think the taking of the american continent by europen powers was legitimate? The governments formed from those colonies still exist to this day and are not run by the original owners of the land (who are all dead).
:very-smart:
It's not just "the freedom to discriminate against black people", but the freedom to speak your ideals as a whole, regardless of what they are.
Think of this as a black person asking KKK why they hate him. This is me
And this is me: :xi-gun:
"People on the internet say my ideas are bad. I AM A BLACK PERSON NOW" :ancap-good:
Always remember, what they really mean is the freedom to obfuscate and lie, which always favors those with money and power.
This person's belief system is either collapsing or they're descending into cult psychosis
my favorite thing about libertarians is the entire premise is to distract and frustrate one into believing in nothing. Nothing should be done, instigation of political change should not be done, organization should not be done, and we absolutely cannot do something like impede someone's liberty to be a landlord or a fascist.
instead what should be done is money should be bounced back and forth between several think tanks that are subsidiaries of large oil companies so they can lobby congress into authorizing lower corporate tax rates and to write the regulatory laws themselves
the stated beliefs though are so dead end it's fascinating. They just swirl around worship of inaction. If they're more well read on Rand they might gesture in the direction of individual human greatness, but they don't mean actually do anything. This poster said it clearly himself, they just want to be left alone. They want the status quo minus the bits they've conjured up in their goofy moral framework, the very same framework that tells them to do nothing. Libertarians have the aura of political engagement while also advocating for a lack of engagement
the technology thing is very deeply intertwined, they believe the world is already as perfect as possible in terms of power structures, so it is impossible to make anything better by altering them. Only by improving technology can the world become better, because technology changes what is possible.
