There were some cheers, but louder boos, as Donald Trump stepped on stage at the Libertarian National Convention on Saturday.
Even before Trump arrived at the political convention in Washington, D.C., there were numerous Libertarian delegates booing when his name was even mentioned. One crowd me...
To paraphrase the great dril:
You do not, under any circumstances, “Gotta hand it to the libertarians”
They are morons who want basically all the same things the republican fascists do. They just want it to happen by magic rather than increasing government overreach and oppression.
Haha, thanks, this quote is great.
I went through a few months talking to self-defined libertarians after the modern resurgence who couldn’t explain what the difference between libertarianism and anarchism was once anarchism was sociologically defined for them.
Usually they couldn’t define the difference between libertarianism and the current system they lived inside.
“No, see, instead of having public school, you would just like get together with your neighbors and friends everyone would pay some money to some teacher you all selected and vetted, and then all the kids would go to that guy’s house and learn from them. But like just your community.”
So less efficient public school?
“No, it’s like if instead of firemen, you just got together with your neighbors and you all employed like a few firemen and your group could pay into this fund that-”
Right, less efficient civil service.
“But you could control the group better!”
So like a private club that has to individually manufacturer and manage all of the needs of your neighborhood?
“No, just like a group that contributes money to the services they need. It’s just way better than taxes.”
Those are taxes.
'but you can have guuuns!"
It’s like an HOA but for everything
Except it doesn’t even cover everyone in the neighborhood, so you’re living among half a dozen HOAs on each block that feel no obligation to respect or assist their immediate community.
I like the ones who say that roads should be privatized and if you have potholes, you and the neighbors should get together to pay to get them filled in.
Which, of course, a libertarian neighbor in this ideal world of theirs would refuse to do.
They want it to happen through corporate control, because it’s not control if it’s business, it’s just good business
