Libertarian upset that Ukraine has sovereignty and didnât 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 donât actually want small government, or a limit on the states power.
Btw the deal sheâs throwing a hissy fit about was for Ukraine to give up land to Russia. It wasnât just not joining NATO.
@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.
They tried the image rehab with âLegalize potâ and âLGBT marriageâ
Of course when you ask them âHow would pot be legal and LGBT marriage be legal if every state can make their own rulesâ
And itâs just a lot of âYou just donât understandâ
@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 âWhy do I have to have the system all planned out when the system we have now doesnât have toâ
And I told him âWell itâs kind of asinine to say your system is better than the current one if you donât know how it will actually work.
And I shit you not they replied with âI didnât say it would make stuff betterâ
I was just so taken aback.
Like what the point then?
Cool you have more personal rights but if everything is shit you didnât 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.
âWell hey sucks that we couldnât fix your leg because you couldnât afford it but look at the bright sideâŚ..you have 300 different options for BBQ sauceâ
@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 arenât food regulations.
@BlastBunny: Yeah. That's invariably the trouble with a) ideologies and b) dipshits.
