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?
Why not?
@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
Hammond certainly changed his tune https://twitter.com/PhilipHammondUK/status/1153645388659863552
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
It seems like there could be evidence that the shooter supported Trump https://twitter.com/WheresMyArk_23/status/1157747796033716224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1157747796033716224&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnewsone.com%2F3883517%2Fel-paso-shooter-patrick-crusius%2F
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
