Libertarians be like
(lemmy.ml)
repost, but it's been a while
To be clear, they also like .gov tyranny if it’s the right flavor
As a former Libertarian, I approve this meme.
Same here. Ffs lol
Proud of y'all for giving it up :)
Thanks! Yea, I grew up. lol
It's ironic, because I'm sure most libertarians have convinced themselves they're being mature by working against their own interests.

Same, now im an Anarcho-Syndicalist :3
Always thought libertarians didn't watch nearly enough 90s anime. So much of it was evil corporations and Cyberpunk about evil corporations.
They saw "Look at all the cool technology capitalism is going to bring us!" instead of "Holy shit capitalism will use this amazing technology to make everything worse".
“Robot arms!”
Because they lost their limbs in an avoidable industrial mining accident because safety was too expensive.
“But look at ‘em!”
Bruh.
I too grew up in an age of movies like Star Wars fighting an overtly fascist empire, of Indiana Jones killing nazis, of countless kid's shows and cartoons emphasizing values like being accepting and not judging people by appearances, of shows like Star Trek explaining the complexity of human societies and using aliens to relay messages of understanding and empathy with others, of science and educational shows like everything on PBS.... I thought FOR SURE that these lessons being seen by everyone would lead to a brighter future of mutual compassion and understanding between people.
Holy shit was I wrong. People didn't watch ANY of that shit, and if they did, they didn't think about it, and certainly didn't take any lessons from it. A vast majority of media-consumers don't engage with their entertainment I've learned, they just experience it and move on without any attempt at making mental effort. Even the lightest mental effort is too much for most people. I'm literally shocked we have the society we do knowing now exactly how ignorant most people are.

They just blame it on the government. Wage theft? Probably due to regulations.
It never makes sense why some on the right are fine with private authoritarianism
It makes sense when you realize most of them are stupid people pretending to be smart.

"You know im something of a Libertarian myself"
Fun etymological fact: very long ago, tyranny used to refer to an autocratic leader that issued a debt jubilee, generally in response to a peasant uprising. A debt jubilee is where most or all debts are declared invalid, a clean debt slate for society, and was generally necessary to keep society functioning. The mini revolution that appointed the tyrant would be short-lived and the prior systen would more or less remain in place, just with cancelled debts.
Can you imagine the anguished cries of the parasite classes?
Truly, it would be music like no other.
Sure, it won't solve anything in the long term, but fuck me, a global debt reset would be hilarious. Landlords and banks, zeroed overnight.
Damn. There's a thought experiment.
no step on snek 😠
"If anyone says they're a libertarian, I just shrug and leave." - Atlas In His Own Words
Libertarians are just Fascists too cowardly to call themselves that.
How about .org
We're not all ancaps
All libertarians want policies that will allow major corporations to walk all over them, whether they realize it and have a problem with it or not.

It's the 98% that make the other 2% look bad.
Because every single conservative is an armband wearing Nazi kkk member racist that hates anything that is new and every Democrat is a child eating baby rapist. Couldn't possibly be that average. People exist generally want the same things and that caricatures of rival political idealogies are not always the most accurate.
Polish libertraians are mostly libertarian-christo-nazi-monarchist mix, and before you ask, i don't see much sense in this either, but they manage somehow.

Is ancap not synonymous with libertarian? Either way, you all lack understanding of what the government needs to do for an area to function
