Libertarian upset that Ukraine has sovereignty and didnāt give it up because Russia told them not to.
Again this is apparently what libertarians stand for. But this one is upset about it.
Because libertarians donāt actually want small government, or a limit on the states power.
Btw the deal sheās throwing a hissy fit about was for Ukraine to give up land to Russia. It wasnāt just not joining NATO.
They tried the image rehab with āLegalize potā and āLGBT marriageā
Of course when you ask them āHow would pot be legal and LGBT marriage be legal if every state can make their own rulesā
And itās just a lot of āYou just donāt understandā
@BlastBunny: Yep. They fantasize about an 18th-century "good old days" without taking into account the last 300+ years of geopolitical, social, economic, and technological advances and changes. Buncha dumbasses. They're just a rash of runaway egos and ids. Asshats.
I kept asking relevant questions to a libertarian about how their system would work, like questions that blew apart their arguments.
And they got mad and said āWhy do I have to have the system all planned out when the system we have now doesnāt have toā
And I told him āWell itās kind of asinine to say your system is better than the current one if you donāt know how it will actually work.
And I shit you not they replied with āI didnāt say it would make stuff betterā
@BlastBunny: Yeah. That's invariably the trouble with a) ideologies and b) dipshits.
I was just so taken aback.
Like what the point then?
Cool you have more personal rights but if everything is shit you didnāt win anything. You just go back to fuedalism.
@BlastBunny: It is quite something, absolutely. They have this ego-driven Social Darwinist fantasy. It's bizarre but predictable, alas.
āWell hey sucks that we couldnāt fix your leg because you couldnāt afford it but look at the bright sideā¦..you have 300 different options for BBQ sauceā
@BlastBunny: I imagine their figuring is along the lines of "What? You couldn't fix your own leg because you haven't studied bush and urban survival techniques? You didn't have anything to barter with with the doctor? You didn't invest in crypto?"
The BBQ sauce doubles as an antiseptic because there arenāt food regulations.
@BlastBunny: The Libertarian Party at every level has been not-secretly primarily a band of old states' rights, Lost Cause, fascist, white nationalist, and other scum since the 1980s.
I know from my experiences in the party in the late 1990s and early 2000s. They weren't publicly pro-fascist and white supremacist back then, but many were privately, in-group.
