The framers weren't libertarians?

Lockeans?

This is news to me.

Stop conflating Localized govt and Small govt

You need to brush up on your history.

But you just said regionalism and libertarianism aren't the same, and the framers were libertarians.

Lockeanism is the founding of the right libertarian ideals

as well as adam smith

Localized government means smaller government. Articles of Confederation is minarchist.

No True Scotsman fallacy. You should know what that is.

That's what you're doing.

i-it wasnt true minarchism!11!!!

Localized governments can be huge

<:HyperLmao:459545665517780993>

?

sorry

fuck

Small is big. War is peace. Freedom is slavery.

Typing is hard

Localized govt can be huge

It can't though.

Look at Syndicalism

It's limited in scope by the GDP of what it serves.

Californian Govt

take that

Big government is big because it's big enough to feed itself via the fed.

Localized government can't do that.

Localized govt can be powerful and big

There's a system of public loans to pay off public loans to pay off the deficit because there's big government.

You are simply wrong.

Seattle banned straws and its a city

Localized government wouldn't be able to infinitely borrow from itself.

Big government is not the same as strict government.

The Constitution is minarchist

Then why aren't we minarchist?

because the constitution only matters if people want it to

Because 200 years of Vote for me for free shit has ruined it

The Constitution enumerates all rights not stated to local government, read the Bill of Rights.

Ergo, early America was minarchist.

thats the 10th

TIL the 10th Amendment isn't in the Bill of Rights.
