Normal people have their behavior regulated by family, partners, and work. It's only the ownership class and psychopaths who worry about being reined in by the government. Libertarians have spiders in their brains.
Miscegny, abortion, sodomy, war on drugs...
There's plenty of things the government has (and it's trying to have) blocked that "normal" people should worry about
Have you ever noticed the people who don't want lead in the gasoline are not the same people who are trying to ban abortion?
Regulations on business and production of resources don't infringe on my personal liberties.
So you'd fear a government that has banned abortion? Damn, you must be a psychopath or part of the ruling class or something.
Some states making it illegal to be homeless. I'm sure the 14th amendment won't be used for nefarious purposes... /s
Hey this is the "I have nothing to hide" argument for privacy. I think wanting people to have freedom from suspicion by the government is based. You're not gonna find me agreeing with any right wing "libertarian" positions like low taxes. My libertarianism is more about... Policing.
I agree. I've been listening to behind the bastards a lot, and the host is basically a pretty radical dude in favor of maximizing personal and civic freedoms and social safety nets.
At this point I feel like we should be called the neo-libroanarchists or something. It seems like every political faction in the US is trying to restrict something just because.
Social libertarians is what you're looking for.
Thats a good term! Thanks
Libertarian Socialism
The right wing think tanks have a deliberate strategy of stealing leftist words.
I guess you forgot the badge-wearing fascists with itchy trigger fingers stalking your neck of the woods with the express purpose of visiting violence upon you if you step out of line.
Who uses the badge wearing fascists to control you? The ownership class. Guess who is the ownership class? Not you and I.
Username applies.
Wow cool the most dystopian sentiment possible!
Human nature is determined by material conditionsss
