Traitorous hag

2019-08-03 22:35:42 UTC  

She is an idiot

2019-08-03 22:35:57 UTC  

Possibly the worst Lib Dem leader

2019-08-03 22:36:49 UTC  

I could have some respect for slightly more reasonable people like Vince Cable but she is just awful

2019-08-03 22:37:14 UTC  

british liberal democrats are the most inappropriately titled party ever

2019-08-03 22:37:47 UTC  

They do have the worst name, Given that they are barely Liberal and they are certainly not democratic

2019-08-03 22:38:05 UTC  

almost the least liberal party, period

2019-08-03 22:38:12 UTC  

Tories only barely eke them out

2019-08-03 22:38:22 UTC  

It depends what definition you use for Liberalism

2019-08-03 22:38:31 UTC  

the original one

2019-08-03 22:38:33 UTC  

the correct one

2019-08-03 22:39:29 UTC  

If you treat it as essentially being a slight divulgence of Libertarianism then they are certainly not Liberal

2019-08-03 22:39:43 UTC  

But many Liberal Parties nowadays are barely like that

2019-08-03 22:40:02 UTC  

the acknowledgement of the necessity of the state isn't a 'slight' difference, but basically yeah

2019-08-03 22:40:41 UTC  

Well no i don't think Libertarians want to remove the State

2019-08-03 22:41:00 UTC  

I think they just want to significantly reduce the size and power of the state

2019-08-03 22:41:07 UTC  

not most, no, they just want to take literally everything out of its responsibility

2019-08-03 22:41:21 UTC  

If they wanted to remove the state then most would essentially be anarchists

2019-08-03 22:42:37 UTC  

Most libertarians i know support a kind of Minarchist state

2019-08-03 22:42:44 UTC  

I maintain Andrew Ryan's Rapture as an accurate model of the logical conclusion of modern libertarianism

2019-08-03 22:43:54 UTC  

I think Libertarianism is different from what is essentially a form of radical objectivism which is what is displayed in Rapture

2019-08-03 22:43:55 UTC  

you know, minus genetic splicing

2019-08-03 22:45:39 UTC  

I dunno, dude, a wealthy russian immigrant industrialist builds a city underwater outside the jurisdiction of internationally recognized powers and invites other wealthy industrialists and innovators while simultanouesly leaving the contractors who built his city in his ideological dust?

2019-08-03 22:45:57 UTC  

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

2019-08-03 22:45:57 UTC  

ranting and raving about the 'great chain of industry'

2019-08-03 22:46:42 UTC  

Basic policing, until he decided literally no one can leave, and has his turf war with Fontaine

2019-08-03 22:47:59 UTC  

Fontaine fakes his death, Ryan Industries absorbs and cannibalizes Fontaine Futuristics, and the city becomes an oligarchy

2019-08-03 22:48:31 UTC  

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

Watch–Josh Hawley: ‘Elite Consensus’ for ‘Open Markets, Open Borders’ Disregards American Middle Class

2019-08-03 22:49:43 UTC  

Ayn Rand also ignored the need of a competitive corporation to grow

2019-08-03 22:49:47 UTC  

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

Guess the communist action is taking effect...

not in the same way, no, but beyond fictitious genetic superpowers, a strong metaphor for drugs and narcotics can be found
