A libertarian is someone who knows the price of everything, the value of nothing, and the age of consent in every jurisdiction
“Libertarians are like house cats, they’re convinced of their fierce independence while dependent on a system they don’t appreciate or understand.”
Thought it said librarian
me too, and confusion: …the Librarians HAVE to be inside the schools…
See that’s how they get away with it. Loopholes.
Actually lol’d myself into a coughing fit
I thought libertarians valued individual liberty.
The only individual liberties they are concerned with are their own, not those individual liberties of another person or people.
And the liberties they most want are the ability to take away those of the people they wish to exploit.
Sounds like fascist really.
Everything within the corporations, nothing outside the corporations, nothing against the corporations.
The key point is what liberties do they mean. And usually they mean the liberty to have sex with minor and/or effectively owning people.
I’m hardcore socialist, but I have some libertarian friends that just want to smoke weed, they have more in common with anarchists than Republicans.
I deeply hope that’s not a core tenant of libertarianism, how abhorrent.
It’s not usually, the most extreme forms of libertarianism is the complete remove of government control over individual people, which includes a lack of age of consent laws and attracts a certain crowd.
Yeah, but stereotype doesn’t
Danke
Are we doing the libertarian/liberal mixup here or what
They are using the american definition of libertarian, which is basically a pseudoconservative.
Quite different from the european definition, which includes leftist ideologies like libertarian marxism (which is in practice extremely close to anarcho-communism)
Yeah I consider myself an anarchist which is a subset of left wing libertarian so I was surprised. I didn’t know there are right wing libertarians that aren’t claiming to be anarcho-capitalists.
Roughly the same, but in the US the Libertarian Party is basically just conservatives who want to smoke weed.
Yeah it’s similar to how there are some libertarian leftists who dont identify with the anarchist label.
You tell me, have you ever heard a liberal candidate suggest age of consent laws should be up to a vote?
Of all the age of consent arguments libertarians make this is by far the weakest. Age of consent is literally up to a vote and can be changed. Thats how Arizona got it’s Romeo and Juliett law in the first place.
Weak, sure. It’s also a public argument made by an official Libertarian Party politician. Most of the stronger ones come from more anonymous libertarians. If that’s what they’re saying in public, etc. etc.
I guess the libertarian label got coopted in US just as the democrat one. That’s not unexpected, but sad
