This trope and this meme are lame and wrong. You people have a ridiculous idea about Libertarians that is nothing but plain prejudice.

I encourage anyone to prove me wrong by reading this Libertarian Party Platform document. Please point out anything about age of consent that is included in the Libertarian platform.

https://www.lp.org/platform/

Additionally, prove me wrong by showing any example of a Libertarian party member stating support for adults abusing children in the manner alluded to in this prejudiced meme / trope.

EDIT: Downvotes don't prove anything folks. I issued a challenge here - is nobody going to prove me wrong?

Heh. Somebody got offended by a joke

[-] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

No I am offended by the prejudice behind the joke. It's as bad as Trumptards and Qanon morons calling Democrats pedos.

Probably not a great idea to alienate the Independent type voters ahead of important elections as well. Democrats / Leftists / whatever you are should be courting the votes of those who are not-Republicans rather than driving more division.

I can't imagine willingly telling people I was a libertarian in the internet.

[-] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Can you imagine being content in life and not caring what Internet nerds think about anything? No? Too bad for you. That's my reality.

Liberty is the most important value/concept to uphold in society and politics, therefore the Libertarian party is the best overall choice to support. Anyone who proposes to reduce liberty for the citizens of America automatically loses my support.

My ethics are clear and I'm proud of my voting record, no matter what you or anyone else thinks. Proudly supporting freedom should be applauded rather than mocked. So it's actually you who should be ashamed for attempting to suppress our freedom with your prejudiced garbage.

I brought this up yesterday, and I'm not even a libertarian. I just have working eyes and those muscles between them run decent enough too. The ideology of libertarianism is so harmful to the corporations that run this country that it had to be astroturfed into the thought terminator cliche of "libertarian = pedo" amongst an entire new generation. They destroyed Occupy WallSt in a different but similar way, by infiltrating all the influential OWS groups and making identity politics a core tenant (if you're white, shut up because your opinions are worthless - thought terminator cliche so 'in your face obvious' that they're promoting exactly what they're supposedly fighting against, but most were taken in anyway) - here's a video of it in action from 2011.

The corporations that run this country love youth internet addiction. There's never been an easier time in history to spread or destroy a movement simply by spending money. You don't even need a puppet. It's the ultimate power.

Wow I didn't realize that happened with OWS. I just remember being disappointed that the movement fizzled out.

Divide and conquer is a well-known strategy, used endlessly by the brainwashers
