I appreciate you guys trying to make me feel at home here by making it seem like reddit. I was starting to worry nobody was going to tell me what I believe.
There seems to be a basic misunderstanding among both the targeted parties and the entertained parties in many posts like these.
Even when this particular post specifies "fake libertarian" in their simplistic collage of observations, many readers end up understanding it as "this is what OP and the upvoters think libertarians are like", and then it's that premise they either agree or disagree with.
It should be said thst if you're a libertarian that is genuinely liberal without the "protect sensitive people through authoritarian means"-mindset, then you're a much different type than the cop-loving "liberty is for white christian land owners"-type this meme is about.
Yup. This comment section is a dumpster fire full of used condoms worthy of those spamming bots of reddit. They are just attacking people for their believes. And not even good ones, just more american culture war bullshit.
It's not even for their beliefs: it's for what they claim people believe. Don't get me wrong, I cringe when I see a gadsden flag next to a blue lives matter flag, but that's not me and it's not the people I've met.
Brother eye is watching.
