I gotta do this thing IRL and it would be supremely funny if I went as a libertarian.
"WHAT'S NEXT, NEEDING A LICENSE TO MAKE TOAST IN YOUR OWN DAMN TOASTER??????"
Just be as much of a contrarian as possible really. Devise elaborate, implausible imaginary situations to explain why any human interaction is a violation of your rights. Do strawman misunderstanding of socialism.
The thirsty in the desert metaphor is one they use a lot, or the "you have two cows." You're thirsty in the desert, a capitalist offers you water for 3 days of work, but the socialist says you have to wait your turn to drink no matter how much work you do.
Libertarianism is the ideology of 13 year old white kids who grow up comfortable and bored, so just channel that.
Bring up land value tax for no reason. Like, imagine someone just said all taxes are bad, and you're trying to add nuance or well-actually them, by saying actually this one is good. But nobody brought up taxes, you just start doing this.
Call everything bad either corporatism or socialism. Advocate constantly for deregulation and decreasing tax. Throw in some complaints about government spying and military adventurism.
Make sure that every single one of your beliefs has an equal and opposite counterbelief that you also believe in
What's an age of consent between two consenting people?
Regulations are sin.
States rights about everything. National standards are authoritiarian commie fascism.
What law? It's the Natural order.
Worship Ayn Ryand.
Taxation is theft.
If you can't afford private everything that's your own personal bad choices and you should be left to rot in a Mad Max thunderdome hellscape outside of the successful indivual enclaves.
You are the only person in the world. Anything that interferes with anything you want to do, or think you may get to do in the future, is anathema. You must always insert your sense of empathy into the top of whatever social hierarchical structure exists.
oh shit, this is the entirety of the SF Bay Area. But they actually live this way in all things. "I alone exist, there is none other than me."
Argue about generational debt. But argue "the sooner you can get pregnant and birth a new generation to work off the contract the sooner you're free to start your own business". Then segway into a age of consent laws, pro-womb-rentals and pro-indebted-servitude as a foundation as collateral for private bank loans to finance home ownership.
Good luck.
After we destroy the state (somehow):
Corporations will take up the job of building and maintaining roads so their employees and goods can travel on them.
Private security companies will take on public safety and crime investigation at a competitive rate.
Poisonous food won't get produced because it would cut into profits so we won't need regulations
Everyone has a gun and that fact alone means we can defend our stateless society without any central authority. This will not lead to warring factions of corporations fighting to become the new state shut up.
Every interaction you have with someone will have to involve an actual contract whether digital or physical. If you break the terms of a contract it falls under breaking the NAP and the private security company that investigates can determine if the nap was broken.
If you break the nap you become a slave or get executed fyi
Even worse, when i was like 20 it was the first anti war anti cop ideology i encountered so i figured i was one
no lie i was just going on a screed about libertarianism to my partner this morning and stumbled upon this post
your comment is my hole it was made for me.
Declare that all public infrastructure and services are communist. All of it. Roads, streetlights, highways, water treatment plants, weather forecasting, militaries, public schools, everything that an individual doesn't need to pay out-of-pocket for at the time of use.
But then money is also communist because everyone has to agree on its value.
That's why you go back to individual bank notes. I forgot to talk about fiat currency in my other comment shit
Ha! That's friggin' brilliant. I might have to try that out myself to out conservative the conservatives. Thank you.
my dad was so against the seatbelt laws and then he died in a car accident where he probably would have lived had he been wearing one
Whine about taxes but praise companies.
You like Donald Trump, but it’s such a shame he’s becoming President of a state! You also love America.
