OBJECTION! ( @Objection@lemmy.ml ) 22•13 days agoAll 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.
Chowtime3688 ( @Chowtime3688@sopuli.xyz ) English13•13 days agoIt’s the 98% that make the other 2% look bad.
Forester ( @Forester@pawb.social ) English4•13 days agoBecause 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.
Fredthefishlord ( @Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 6•13 days ago… Wait, you think libertarian is the average?
Forester ( @Forester@pawb.social ) English2•13 days agoNo, I don’t
PolandIsAStateOfMind ( @PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml ) 10•13 days agoPolish libertarians are mostly libertarian-christo-nazi-monarchist mix, and before you ask, i don’t see much sense in this either, but they manage somehow.
Forester ( @Forester@pawb.social ) English2•13 days agoWell that’s a definitely a new branch of the libertarian ideological family for me. I much prefer geoism lockhism and minarchism.
Buelldozer ( @Buelldozer@lemmy.today ) 5•13 days agoEh, arguing is fairly pointless and it’s fair for them to point out that with the MC in charge of the LP the other types of libertarians no longer matter.
Forester ( @Forester@pawb.social ) English4•13 days agoBy that logic since Trump won and narrowly scraped a win out of the election putting them in charge. The Democrats no longer matter. What’s the point of having resistance to compete with the People’s choice of fascistic rule.
Sounds kind of silly when I say it like that doesn’t it?. Just a wild thought you know maybe that instead of focusing on a cultural war that doesn’t need to exist, we can focus on the more class-bound issues.
But it’s okay. I’m the enemy because Cheks notes the little letter next to my political party didn’t agree with your pre conceived notions of what libertarianism is. But I’m sure all Republicans and Democrats are exact charachactures of pure evil just like my social media drivels as I lack the ability to see the best in people or to realize generalizing groups of people is not a good look.
I do understand your frustration though the MC can suck my entire dick
Buelldozer ( @Buelldozer@lemmy.today ) 3•13 days agoBy that logic…
Sure, why not but I’ve been fighting this notion that all libertarians are An-Caps for 20 years and the rise of the MC has turned an uphill battle into a nearly impossible one.
There’s really no question that the MC are owned and operated by the string pullers of the Republican Party. They’re doing it in order to to keep the people who do care about Small Government and Individual Liberty from leaving the Republican Party over the MAGA horseshit.
Fredthefishlord ( @Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 4•13 days agoIs ancap not synonymous with libertarian? Either way, you all lack understanding of what the government needs to do for an area to function
meteorswarm ( @meteorswarm@beehaw.org ) 3•13 days agoIn modern American usage, more or less. “Libertarian” used to be much broader - ancaps cleaved it off of libertarian socialism in the 20th c.
Forester ( @Forester@pawb.social ) English2•13 days agoThat’s like saying that all Democrats are liberal progressives… And you’re assuming a bit much there. Some of us do believe in government.
Ayumu Tsukasa ( @AyuTsukasa@lemm.ee ) 5•12 days agoNot me wondering what librarians have against the government 😅

casmael ( @casmael@lemm.ee ) 4•13 days agoFucking spectacular meme bravo contender for meme of the month at least if not quarter
TheOubliette ( @TheOubliette@lemmy.ml ) 4•12 days agoFun 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.
Fluke ( @Fluke@lemm.ee ) 4•12 days agoCan 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.
random ( @random@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English2•11 days agoI don’t really understand what specific aspect of libertarianism this meme refers to, please explain
seeigel ( @seeigel@feddit.org ) English2•12 days agoAs the name implies, libertarians want to be free.
Tyranny.gov rules by law which prohibits what you are allowed to do and thus think, thus limiting freedom.
Tyranny.com has no laws, just costs, which can be restructured by a single person. Thus the person feels free.
SpicyColdFartChamber ( @SpicyColdFartChamber@lemm.ee ) English13•12 days agoAll libertarians care about is how they can make money and benefit from a situation.
They don’t care others are getting fucked as long as they can have their tea.
They don’t actually want a free market, they want a market where they can burrow their tendrils deep into society and suck off as much as they can.
seeigel ( @seeigel@feddit.org ) English1•12 days agoThen they are not libertarians but something else. This doesn’t make those people less problematic, though.
JayDee ( @JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org ) 9•12 days agoYou European? This meme’s most likely referring to American Libertarianism, which is described by Ayn Rand and is actually Anarcho-capitalism. Think more ‘Atlas Shrugged’ than anarchism.
seeigel ( @seeigel@feddit.org ) English4•12 days agoThanks. I should have known.
IndigoCereal ( @IndigoCereal@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 2•12 days agoThank you, I am European and had trouble interpreting the comments, now everything makes sense
