repost, but it’s been a while
You must log in or register to comment.
As a former Libertarian, I approve this meme.
This is the all-time most succinct encapsulation of libertarian thought - giving the government power by voting is tyranny, but random people getting it as a side-effect of money is Freedom.
Old enough to remember libertarians who were smugly asserting Social Security caused the Iraq War.
Now we’re stuck with the libertarians who smugly assert that the Department of Education causes transgender teenagers.
Can’t have transgender teens in school, if you you don’t have school! Checkmate
atheists, i mean, liberals./s maybe, who knows what those chuds are doing anymore
Say goodbye to the old school, ergh, boring - I hate school!
Say HELLO to the patriot Mcschool of dreams, brought to you in association with Coca-Cola - to ensure your patriot Mcschool dreams have Real magic - providing children with the very best school-like experience and for prices lower than you’d expect.
That coupled with this ancient green text and we got a novella series in the works. Too bad its too far fetched to be unimaginable… 🫠

Socialism or fuck off

It’s not the government until the companies buy the government.

To be clear, they also like .gov tyranny if it’s the right flavor
Yeah, the last 6 months has really shown what Libertarians are made of. Fucking disgusting hypocrites.
They’ve always been that way. Its not surprising the “we need to be more selfish” crew isn’t standing up for anyone
It never makes sense why some on the right are fine with private authoritarianism
Weak minded people are easy to exploit
In other words the people supporting this shit are idiots who have no critical thinking skills.
Get ready for a full generation of weak minded morons now that the Dept. Of Education is gone. It can always get worse.
Umm, removal of DOE does not remove schools.
And it will get worse. It’s been getting worse. Orange dick is just an additional progression of it all.

No, they salivate in anticipation.

How about .org
Fucking spectacular meme bravo contender for meme of the month at least if not quarter
It’s a repost of an old meme. Idk if that disqualifies it for your award
It’s a relevance based award system not a novelty based system so I’ll inform the committee but that’s quite normal

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.

Government is a tool, and whoever is powerful enough can and will use that tool to pursue their interests. Yes, the government serves the rich under capitalism, but the problem is the power of the rich, not the tool. Throwing out the idea of government or limiting it is foolish because 1) it’s throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and 2) if you’re in a position to limit the size of the government, you can just use it to do good things instead.

So basically, why limit the government which fucks you up, if you can become the government yourself and fuck up everyone you don’t like instead.
Yes
The state under a dictatorship of the booj exists to suppress the proles and mediate conflicts between booj so they can more effectively suppress the proles. Proletarian dictatorship states are based af though.

Username checks out.
Polish 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.
Well that’s a definitely a new branch of the libertarian ideological family for me. I much prefer geoism lockhism and minarchism.
How do those -isms deal with bears?
The project has been associated with an increase in the number and aggressiveness of black bears in town, including entering homes, mauling people, and eating pets. A single, definitive cause for the abnormal behavior of the bears has not been proven, but it may be due to libertarian residents who refuse to buy and use bear-resistant containers, who do not dispose of waste materials (such as feces) safely, or who deliberately put out food to attract the bears to their own yards, but do not feel any responsibility for how their behavior affects their neighbors.

It’s such a great example of libertarianism in action that I ask every libertarian I see what their solution is. Surprisingly, nobody has answered yet.
My favorite thing is basically every libertarian is their own flavor, and every other person isn’t a “real libertarian.” They’re even less unified that Christianity as a whole, and that’s saying something.
My second favorite thing about libertarianism is this shitpost article turned copypasta https://www.newyorker.com/humor/daily-shouts/l-p-d-libertarian-police-department
You’re getting shat on pretty hard. Geoism is at least trying to critic and solve economic problems.
Still most libertarians will get in line with harmful ancap ideas out of the naive all regulations are bad. Its also always the laughable privatization of roads or getting rid of OSHA. Bonus points if they have a Melei shaped dildo.
I’m empathic to the leave me alone vibe of some libertarian, but if you still identify as them please do some self reflection that your party only seriously promotes harmful stuff associated withthem.

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.
… Wait, you think libertarian is the average?
No, I don’t
Eh, 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.
By 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
By 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.
Is ancap not synonymous with libertarian? Either way, you all lack understanding of what the government needs to do for an area to function
In modern American usage, more or less. “Libertarian” used to be much broader - ancaps cleaved it off of libertarian socialism in the 20th c.

That’s like saying that all Democrats are liberal progressives… And you’re assuming a bit much there. Some of us do believe in government.
