Bahahahahahahahahahaha that’s funny… 😂😂😂

I’m sure Trump’s popularity is through the roof with you and your buddies in Yokelsville, Alabama, or whatever ruby-red area you live in, but everyone else on the planet thinks Trump is a PoS.

👍

Ah, my mistake. I had assumed you were just too socially clueless to understand how conversations work.

Enjoy being a clown!

also the vast majority of dems did the same thing, we just don’t feel the need to tell everyone how different we are because of it

^ Translation: “I am too clueless to figure out that this thread is a conversation about Libertarians, and thus discussing Libertarians and Libertarianism is totally appropriate and on-topic.”

By the way, Pumpkin… Who died and made you in charge of what I talk about on the internet with others? Just curious.

Wrong. I simply don’t like having someone who doesn’t even know me try to correct me about what my own personal beliefs are. It’s rude.

That’s like me telling you, “Well, you must obviously be a Mormon, since you believe murder is wrong and Mormons believe that too. I don’t care if you say you aren’t an Mormon. You actually are a Mormon, and the only reason you’d deny being a Mormon is because you just don’t like having your beliefs challenged.”

See how condescending that sounds? If you want to “challenge my beliefs”, be polite while doing so.

I’m one of the lucky ones! Because of my service to our great country fighting against those dirty communists, when the bombs fall my family and I will be safe and sound, underground, in one of the local vaults in our area: Vault 108!

Is it mansplaining to point out that you don’t agree with a core principle of your claimed ideology?

It is definitely mansplaining when you tell me that I don’t actually understand what libertarianism is, I’m not actually a libertarian even if I say I am, and that I need a big, strong man like you to explain all this to silly little old me.

Then I don’t think you’re a libertarian.

LMAO don’t mansplain Libertarianism to me.

Nope, but that being said I don’t believe in the government being competent enough to do so in the first place, especially when there’s always going to be Republicans eager to revoke those protections.

That being said, I definitely encourage trans folks to arm themselves because let’s face it, the government will not protect them in any way under the Trump administration. The second amendment applies to all Americans and sadly there’s a lot of bigots around nowadays who are more than happy to commit a hate crime.

LMAO I own the book. I am well aware my party is a clown show, I just want to be able to grow weed, shoot guns, light fireworks, and enjoy the company of sex workers consensually within my poly marriage to my trans wife.

…Okay, I made that last part up, but you never know - I might one day feel the need to marry a trans girl and bang call girls together with her in a poly relationship, dammit, because life is short.

Slaanesh approves of this message.

As a libertarian, I will also say fuck libertarians. Seriously, don’t vote for us. Our party is a fucking joke and many of us are wacky nutjobs.

People like you should work on splitting the republican party.

Oh trust me, I’ve been trying to convince any Trump voter who’s willing to listen that Trump is a con-man and a wannabe dictator for the last eight years.

It definitely helps that I speak their language - I’m a construction worker and a vet with a mouth that would probably offend many who consider themselves “woke” - but the most common problem I run in to is that even if I can get them to “see the light” and consider that Trump might be a con-man and a wannabe dictator, inevitably they go back to their own right-wing MAGA echo chambers and much of what I say goes out the damn window.

Well I think the real question is what are your ethics if you encounter another human being when you have retreated into the woods? … Do you avoid them?

Yes. “Get off my lawn” would be the appropriate response.

Do you try to dominate or exploit them? If so that is libertarianism.

No, that is not Libertarianism. Libertarians want very small government, focusing on protection of one’s rights and one’s property.

lib·er·tar·i·an·ism

/ˌlibərˈterēəˌniz(ə)m/

noun: libertarianism

• a political philosophy that advocates only minimal state intervention in the free market and the private lives of citizens.

Do you work toward partnership and mutual aid? If so that’s anarchism.

No, that is not anarchism. Anarchists want no government whatsoever.

an·ar·chism

/ˈanərˌkizəm/

noun

noun: anarchism

• a political theory advocating the abolition of hierarchical government and the organization of society on a voluntary, cooperative basis without recourse to force or compulsion.

No offense, but honestly? I find anarchism to be even more ridiculous than libertarianism, and us libertarians are absolutely ridiculous. Sure, “voluntarism” sounds good on paper but what ends up happening looks more like Somalia in practice.

Sorry but there’s no way Elon is Mr. House because Mr. House was actually competent.
