lmao the fact they were all saying to go to parler for the real free market. This aged well lol.
I don't have to read this thread to know they are calling every site that has inevitably fucked them over "crony capitalism" and the sites that haven't got big enough to fuck them over yet "real free market".
Even though there's really no freer market than internet tech companies right now, in terms of regulations and subsidy.

The inflection point: if the libertarian keeps thinking this through they'll becomes either a fash or a commie depending on their other moral values. If they shrug their shoulders and stop thinking about this at all, they'll become a republican.
I'm using commie as a catch all here, no beef with :anarchy:
But don't call me dear
Ty I was bracing for a fight 😬
Sorry if you guys don't like getting lumped in under commie, I can use "leftist" more I suppose
its not that I dislike it, it's that there are a lot of ... well did you see the banned response to my first comment on your comment? it was bad.
I didn't, but looking now I can guess based on the responses, yikes. What an ass. Guess we're both a little keyed in to hostility.
yeah, left unity is... well, just make sure, if the revolution is authoritarian communists, that my firing squad is topless. and smuggle me something more fun than a cigarette?
if we end up in the death camps together, i'll totally let you organize our doomed escape. I'm shit at doomed escapes.
the former are called "monarchists". egoists syndicalists., etc. you've heard all this.
Anarchists create their tactics based on analysis of the current situation
im sure you'll 'fix' that after the revolution. make sure whoever does my firing squad is cute.
From my thankfully very limited experience, the libertarians I have met have mostly been mid 20's man children with very lengthy and strong views on age of consent laws.
“Compared to the general population,” the 7 percent of Americans who identify as libertarian (plus an additional 15 percent with libertarian leanings) “are significantly more likely to be non-Hispanic white, male, and young. Nearly all libertarians are non-Hispanic whites (94%), more than two-thirds (68%) are men, and more than 6-in-10 (62%) are under the age of 50.”

statistically for the us i don't think you're far off, i remember seeing +90 for white at least
If only.... :curious-marx: like someone :thinkin-lenin: had thought of this before. :curious-sickle: :fanon: :fidel-sarcastic:
Many have a legal obligation to inform their neighbors that they're convicted sex offenders
I got a call out of the blue yesterday from a libertarian friend I haven't seen since Summer and he said he was getting off of Facebook and withdrawing from a lot of the online libertarian communities because they were clearly going off the rails. Hopefully I'll get to talk some sense into him soon.
I’ve met a bunch of former college club libertarians in leftist circles that radicalized from this kind of thing. Once you apply your values to the workplace it becomes very easy to look toward and move to the left.
It's almost like people have been screaming this at them forever
