Libertarian just means not wanting an authoritative state

That is by design.

The definitions are being actively fucked with to undermine understanding.

All of this seems so silly and like it’s a game or something. I honestly don’t even feel like voting in the next election

there are plenty of local politicians that aren't complete retards

The point is to muddle the terms to get the people who dont pay attention and just vote with people who identify the same

It is a game of sorts. But voting is your only piece on the board. No guarantee it will achieve anything, but not playing it ensures that anyway.

But who is muddling with the terms?

Also known as "tribal votes"

Are both parties in on this?

Is this some global thing?

The politicians themselves, educators, ect.

Everyone. Some do it on purpose. Most out of ignorance.

Linguistic drift.

I’ve got to get smarter on this. I feel like an idiot to be completely honest

Why?

What do you honestly want out of all of this?

To be happier?

Well you are doing the best thing...watching the debates, learning about the candidates themselves.

Being informed

I’m not quite sure to be completely honest. For me I just don’t want the state screwing with my daily life. But in a way I feel like there is a sort of civic responsibility that comes with this

Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise.

but that greek dude said the unexamined life isn't worth living

what do

We can't change the system, only be aware of it. And that awareness, without a solution, brings endless anxiety.

The Honkpill is the only solution

Brenton Tarrant got the solutions

The decay is vast. And too many refuse to even listen now. The gap cannot be overcome anymore until something snaps.

Or allah, allah will guide you to paradise

Well maybe it is worth just opting out of politics in general then

It might be.

As an individual you can’t do anything and gain nothing out of it except anxiety and hurt friendships

The world is screwed up feelsbadman

True.

But again, is the unexamined life worth living?

That's a choice you have to struggle with for yourself.

Maybe you don’t need to examine the political life and can just examine your own?

I don't discuss politics with friends but I still vote ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
