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.”

[–] underisk@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

plenty of house cats survive just fine in the wild. its actually something of a problem. please leave house cats out of this.

My house cat once went and hid under the bed because he was approached by an inquisitive guinea pig. I don't think he's surviving in the wild.

To be fair, I've seen boars lay a person's hand open to the bone when she tried to break up a fight

Yeah, its actually well known that some places actually ask you NOT to let your cat outside as they destroy local wildlife.

See that's how they get away with it. Loopholes.

I thought libertarians valued individual liberty.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah in my experience there are two types of libertarian, some lean anarchist but are uncomfortable with socialism, others lean fascist but are uncomfortable with fascism. Then there are those who are edgy liberals who are uncomfortable with how necessary regulation is but I haven't seen many of them in a while

[–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Sure, the same way conservatives value small government and fiscal responsibility.

There's definitely those who genuinely believe in those ideals, but they're few and far between.

You just triggered so many cryptobros.

I'm only antistatist until the current state is destroyed.
