Libertarianism is the way to go

LIBERTARIANISM FOREVER

It is the best way to ensure freedom from governments and corporations

Without regulating the companies into the ground

I mainly support people like Ayn Rand

Its the best mix

Its not anarchy and its not total government control

Right wing leaning Libertarianism

Socialism must be destroyed

Better dead then red

The stupidity on Twitter from some people is just ridiculous

Why would anyone be a Centrist?

@ETBrooD It only inflames tensions between groups of people, It accomplishes no good

Boris is the best

He is going to be the best Prime Minister ever

He is charismatic and he is determined to deliver Brexit

So? There just words

I don't care about what people he has insulted

Its his Prerogative if he wants to insult people but obviously the MP's and Members also don't care

Heading to the US would be a better idea

He is not exactly charming but i like him

He is not perfect obviously but i think he is the best option in the Conservative party

Being better then Theresa May is an achievement in my eyes, This is one of the first Prime Minister I've liked for a while

At least in the US you have free speech unlike Canada and the UK

I mean David Cameron got more

But they are British

They need to have the freedom to protest

We need to allow everyone to protest for any reason

Its the Worldwide trend at the moment

We would be seriously damaging a persons freedom if we ban people from protesting leaving the EU

There is so much irony from the Labour Party complaining about the British people not getting to vote on the Conservative party leader

Given Labours record with Gordon Brown i think they have forfeited their right to complain about it.

5 May 2022

according to Google that's when the next GE will take place

I think Boris will be able to get us out of the EU, He has around 3 years in office now

I wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly decided that he wants to stay on

He certainly does not seem to be indicating a resignation in the tweet

What complete idiots

I really hate that hashtag as well

I don't know why i just really hate it

LBC is usually credible as a news source

I think Corbyn's version of Communism has more support then you would expect

The Irony of Corbyn complaining about not being able to choose the PM

Johnson just has not not mess up within the next 3 months and we will be able to leave with No Deal

According to Britain Elects polls, Boris would win a GE if he delivers Brexit and would lose it if he fails to deliver Brexit

Does anyone even watch TYT anymore?

He is a huge improvement over May

Although to be fair almost anyone would have been an improvement over May

I recently found this video on Youtube which help explain the philosophy of Ayn Rand and Objectivism, It is 2 hours long but it is actually really good, It is officially supposed to explain Bioshock but they link in Objectivism quite a lot because of the similarities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn_q-t8MrHo

Apparently the shooter was inspired by the Christchurch shooter

its obviously going to be used against Trump though and to encourage more Gun Control

The shooter has been apprehended i think but it will probably take a few hours for the motivations to be made clear

It would be very easy for someone to fake the manifesto so it could be fake

In the manifesto he does not really support either Democrat or Republican, He seems to lean more Republican but does not seem to support either that much

He also says that Trump did not inspire him to commit the attack

Of course this is all relying on the Manifesto being real

The media would say that its Trump's fault regardless

He could have completely condemned Trump and the media would still say that its Trump's fault

'Gun Control' Is now trending on Twitter because of the attack

According to this person on twitter they have found the account of the shooter

Its just like the Democrats to try and ban opinions

This was certainly be brought up in the next debate

Many minor media sites are already claiming that the shooter was a Trump supporter

She is an idiot

Possibly the worst Lib Dem leader

I could have some respect for slightly more reasonable people like Vince Cable but she is just awful

They do have the worst name, Given that they are barely Liberal and they are certainly not democratic

It depends what definition you use for Liberalism

If you treat it as essentially being a slight divulgence of Libertarianism then they are certainly not Liberal

But many Liberal Parties nowadays are barely like that

Well no i don't think Libertarians want to remove the State

I think they just want to significantly reduce the size and power of the state

If they wanted to remove the state then most would essentially be anarchists

Most libertarians i know support a kind of Minarchist state

I think Libertarianism is different from what is essentially a form of radical objectivism which is what is displayed in Rapture

I mean most Libertarianism believe in a state of some sort however in Rapture there basically isn't a Government the only thing that is done by Ryan is basic policing

I don't think Rapture is an accurate representation of Objectivism because the main problem in Rapture was that Fontaine created a monopoly on Plasmids that were poorly made however most Objectivists including Ayn Rand herself maintained the idea that Monopolies are impossible to create in a genuine free market and that they are caused by Government Intervention

Besides the thing that destroyed Rapture was the Plasmids made by Ryan and Fontaine however since they are not a real thing if Andrew Ryan's form of Libertarianism was actually tried it couldn't be destroyed in the same way

And there is no real example of a product like Plasmids that could really cause the same effect in real life, Since they are clearly on a different level to modern drugs

Well he essentially believed that all people should only be dependent on themselves which is why he opposed the social safety net

Well in Rapture i don't actually think there were taxes

I think he got rid of them

Well he isn't completely wrong economically, Most of the economy can run itself due to the invisible hand of the market

Well Ayn Rand supported the idea of voluntary taxation for it, Although i don't know how it would really work practically

Its the whole idea of self interest again though, The idea is that people would support these projects like maintenance with their own money because it is in their own self interest to have them done

Presumably the same would be expected to occur with Hospitals and Infrastructure and whatnot
