Libertarians: "We will rebel against government when it infringes on our rights."

Government: *Slowely grows in bureaucracy over time.*

Corporations: *Creates more consumer goods.*

Also Libertarians: "Yeah we will stop you government, we will" *Consumes goods in comfort*

2020-04-05 21:41:37 UTC  

Yes

2020-04-05 21:41:43 UTC  

That's what created all this mess in the middle east

2020-04-05 21:42:07 UTC  

In the first place

2020-04-05 21:42:32 UTC  

Just because it was implemented badly doesn't mean it was a bad idea to begin with

2020-04-05 21:42:56 UTC  

It failed? Yeah, I'll agree. But was it unjustified? Nope

2020-04-05 21:43:17 UTC  

Oh, of course, it wasn't done well enough, we just need better people and then it'll work

2020-04-05 21:43:37 UTC  

It could have gone better, it could have gone worse

2020-04-05 21:43:59 UTC  

I'd rather have western dominance in that region than Chinese or Russian dominance

2020-04-05 21:44:25 UTC  

Geopolitics has very little to do with morals and everything to do with power and resources

2020-04-05 21:45:09 UTC  

Moralising about muh war by gubernment bad is fucking gay

2020-04-05 21:46:31 UTC  

I'm glad you've joined this server. You might begin to realise that libertarianism, while being intellectually interesting and having a lot of decent things to say; especially on economics, is completely unfit to deal with modern problems and geopolitical situations.

2020-04-05 21:47:06 UTC  

Shame Social Matter doesn't exist anymore. I remember they had a good few articles of libertarianism which are worth a read.

2020-04-05 21:47:44 UTC  

Listen to that Truediltom audioclip, you might find it interesting.

Yeah, we don't know.

> I'd rather have western dominance in that region than Chinese or Russian dominance

Why? I understand your concerns, but I doubt that the west (if there is some united west) has dominance in that regions.
Also, why do you fear the dominance of two powers in that region, who already have problems establishing their dominance over their own territory.

> Geopolitics has very little to do with morals and everything to do with power and resources

I didn't moralize. I argued against aggression into foreign countries, since they create far bigger problems in the long-run. See mass immigration, political Islam, destabilized failed states... So why can't free trade and security partnership work then?

Great one closs

2020-04-05 22:05:11 UTC  

nice

2020-04-05 22:07:35 UTC  

@Despot Romanicus the Enslaver lolberts may actually have a sober understanding of power they are just afraid of it or position themselves against it

2020-04-05 22:12:34 UTC  

They will consume in silence just like the rest of the Non-Despoilers

2020-04-05 22:19:20 UTC  

the turkroach faggot @Mr.Fisch(炫龙) is shitting up other discords as well it seems

My theory, for some of them at least, is less state corruption or towering over the minority, and more that they dislike the state because it can create laws and security, more specifically laws that can *outlaw* what they personally, morally, or economically want

I think the libertarian/ancap “child slave/soldier” meme (which implies decadence) is probably more truthful than some realize

2020-04-05 23:34:41 UTC  

I think there's a more right-leaning mindset that goes into libertarianism, combined with a more left-leaning mindset. That's the more left-leaning side.

2020-04-06 00:32:40 UTC  

The biggest issue with a libertarian mindset is that they see power as the source of trouble rather than a tool wielded by whoever gets his hands on to it

2020-04-06 00:32:59 UTC  

Think of it in terms of guns

2020-04-06 00:33:41 UTC  

Guns don't kill people, people with guns kill people and good people with guns can make a difference

2020-04-06 00:34:50 UTC  

Power doesn't fuck you over, the people in charge fuck you over.

2020-04-06 00:36:13 UTC  

Right, if your mindset is guns are always causing wars, got to get rid of all the guns, you're going to end up losing a lot of wars fast

2020-04-06 00:36:25 UTC  

You're not empowering them by letting quarantine happen. The fact they're happening despite the cries of libertarians show power had already been posessed and didn't need to be handed

2020-04-06 00:38:56 UTC  

If anything we should put forward positive things that governments ought to do, call them out for things they didn't do

2020-04-06 00:39:44 UTC  

When we call them out doing something it has to be for a good reason

2020-04-06 01:21:10 UTC  

@Mr. Nessel yea and smart libertarias realize that which is why the libertarian to alt right pipeline exists

2020-04-06 01:21:17 UTC  

Or hoppe
