This has helped to cement extreme neo-Marxist group Hope Not Hate as the "good guys" by the establishment...

I have a theory that they're actually run by MI5 but I can't prove it

What do you guys thinks of the UK libertarian party other than not knowing it exists if you didn't?

@Scar is it American Libertarian, or European?

I'll let you come to your own conclusion on that. https://libertarianpartyuk.com/manifesto-2017/

@Scar

> It is time we moved from a Representative Democracy to a Direct Democracy where every vote matters.

Yep, they're the insane European type

– Decriminalisation of all sexual activity related to consenting adults.

okay that kinda sounds slightly incesty

@Scar What country are you in?

England

European libertarians are 'small state socialists'

That's an oxymoron if i ever heard one

Yeah, thus the 'insane' part lol

I mean to be fair they are for free markets

But your country is already socialist, so they're better than nothing?

The Libertarian Party is committed to:

– Abolishing Personal Income Tax

– Abolishing Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax

– Lowering Corporation Tax to 10%

– Ending the budget deficit and reducing the National Debt

– People and organisations trading freely, honestly and voluntarily

This all sounds kinda not socialisty

I don't get why they said 'direct democracy' then

That's the opposite

I don't know

Maybe they're just dumb?

Maybe

I mean there are quite a few spelling mistakes in there

Not to mention I don't think they use a single comma in the entire thing

There's a bunch

But anyways, these are normal Libertarians, I was mistaken.

The direct democracy thing thew me off

Admittedly when i said that i was looking at the middle-bottom part

Maybe it's cus our system right now essentially makes it so they would never get elected

But they would have to be elected to implement that

I mean if UKIP taught us anything it's that you don't need to get elected to popularize a policy

And it's not "your system" that won't get them elected.

Very complicated, but to sum up: They're of a heterodox opinion on the Progressive narrative

you know it's hit the fan when it's the DUP that are the only sane politicians with their stance on Brexit.

Not sure if this or comp sci is the best forum for this discussion, but I'm curious what arguments there are:
*Should there be rules on large scale social platforms (such as facebook, google, youtube etc) against algorithmic filter bubbles?*
