Libertarianism has been the next big thing since the 1880's Yet, it has never really manifested itself into the mainstream culture of Western Civilization, despite us constantly being assured by Libertarians that this is the preeminent way to live Are they full of shit? Are we missing their point? Let's have a nice civilized chat about it, shall we?
It's full of shit. Like pure capitalism. Or pure communism. It only works if humans can be relied on not to be cunts. We can't, so some form of regulation is needed.
And that's with good faith libertarians! Ayn Rand flat out said "your cunty impulses are actually GOOD! Not only that, if you're REALLY good, you can be in the inner circle of my cult, and fuck me! ".
I can't help but notice we have a tough time even doing basic, simple things that would help other people. Anti-maskers come to mind How would Libertarianism help combat something like that, I wonder
Libertarianism is really only appealing to teenagers who have yet to grasp the complexities of real life.
I have never been interested enough to look up the basic tenet of Liberalism. However, a Libertarian facebook friend that I knew in elementary school suggested I read the party platform. and, yea, that's it in a nutshell.
Can someone help Ten Nooback catch the fuck up? The libertarians became the Teap Party, the tea party became the birthers, the birthers became the trumpistas, and now they all are called Q. This is why we call you Canadian Dayton.
Libertarianism is a great bookend for the linear depiction of political reality along with communism on the other end. That's about all either of them are good for.
Nice trying to save face, but Face hasn't even posted in this thread yet to need saving, and he certainly doesn't need your help to save face.
You’re right I’m not interested in the topic because a) it’s predicated on trolling me and b) it starts with a false premise.
Define "worked." It works great for the rich and powerful, since it enhances their ability to exploit people as much as they feel like.
Then be mature enough to walk away. Lubak is a very sophisticated troll who occasionally has something contributive to say. The latter doesn't excuse the former. Blow him off and he'll focus on his other targets. He spends a lot of time convincing himself that he's (a) bipartisan and (b) edgy. He's neither. He scurried over here from TBBS some years ago, having been dismissed as a moderator, and actually had something real to say 90% of the time back then. Then he decided trolling was kewler, so the ratio has been 10%/90% "Um, gee, who can I troll today, eh?"
It's telling that the attempts to build a real life "Galt's Gulch" collapsed as the founders went Animal Farm.
Saving face would imply our words put him in some form of danger. We declare your statement confirms our powers now and forever. You will rue the day your messed with us.
