Libertarianism isn't one solid take on multiple issues, that's why there are so many debates between libertarians

2019-01-08 00:45:33 UTC  

yet, the left is ready to categorize all of them the same, just like everything else

2019-01-08 00:46:36 UTC  

Political tribes are often left unaware of the nuances of other political tribes? Quelle suprise

2019-01-08 00:47:28 UTC  

I was listening to a lefty radio station one day a few years ago, and someone called in to talk about the growing libertarian movement. The host YELLED at his caller. "Don't call this show to talk about libertarians. I don't give one good damn about libertarians or their supposed movement. You know what libertarians are? Libertarians are nothing but Republicans that want to smoke weed and get laid."

2019-01-08 00:47:56 UTC  

that was on April 13th, 2015

2019-01-08 00:48:34 UTC  

... so republicans don’t smoke anything and don’t get laid

2019-01-08 00:48:36 UTC  

It's common for people to assume anyone not with them is with [Obvious Opposition]

2019-01-08 00:48:48 UTC  

Maybe on the first one, but the second one...?

2019-01-08 00:48:50 UTC  

Especially in Madison

2019-01-08 00:48:56 UTC  

I mean... if birth rates are anything to go by..

2019-01-08 00:49:50 UTC  

I'm pretty sure the host was referring to "get laid" as sex outside the confines of marriage, playing on the presumed ultra Christianity of Republicans

2019-01-08 00:50:23 UTC  

Yeah, but that doesn’t exactly hold up when discussed

2019-01-08 00:50:37 UTC  

If the goal ultimately is just to have sex, then... you know

2019-01-08 00:51:06 UTC  

I always wanted to get on one of these "progressive" shows to try and see what the host thinks about the fact that I am a Republican, and I have a pretty massive "body count"

2019-01-08 00:51:30 UTC  

Yeah but they won’t

2019-01-08 00:51:51 UTC  

Cause you still tick off the rest of the criteria

2019-01-08 00:52:01 UTC  

White, male

2019-01-08 00:52:05 UTC  

In fact, my Democrat years were mostly marked by serial monogamy for me. I didn't start going out and playing the field until I switched parties

2019-01-08 00:52:07 UTC  

Cis

2019-01-08 00:52:36 UTC  

I mean people get triggered whenever I say I’m all for limiting even legal immigration when I’m brown and an immigrant

2019-01-08 00:52:39 UTC  

@Deleted User did you just assume my gender?

2019-01-08 00:52:49 UTC  

Yes I did

2019-01-08 00:53:07 UTC  

Unless you’re ready to let another dude through your back hole I ain’t bending

2019-01-08 00:53:35 UTC  

my back hole has never been penetrated. you would be bending

2019-01-08 00:54:03 UTC  

Nah

2019-01-08 00:54:11 UTC  

But here’s the thing

2019-01-08 00:54:23 UTC  

wow...that was dirty...I think I just offended myself

2019-01-08 00:54:28 UTC  

How many “conservatives” do you see on prog shows?

2019-01-08 00:54:43 UTC  

Even their so-called right wingers have all been fired at this point

2019-01-08 00:54:57 UTC  

Hell even Joe Scarborough’s given up on acting like he is

2019-01-08 00:55:08 UTC  

Oh, I know. It's an echo chamber

2019-01-08 00:55:27 UTC  

Conversely, while admittedly not many...

2019-01-08 00:55:39 UTC  

anything that challenges the echo must be purged

2019-01-08 00:55:46 UTC  

I mean even _Fox News_ has fucking Shep Smith, Juan Williams, and Geraldo Rivera

2019-01-08 00:55:56 UTC  

They’re not exactly rock ribbed red blooded right wingers

2019-01-08 00:56:19 UTC  

Then they go on Twitter and accuse the right of being in an echo chamber

2019-01-08 00:56:28 UTC  

I mean in a true libertarian society the borders are peoples property so while theres no borders in a country sense, theres a billion or more small borders

2019-01-08 00:57:06 UTC  

I didn't have the heart to tell the poor bastard who descended into name calling me yesterday to watch my videos and see how many times Vox shows up on my screen versus Fox

2019-01-08 01:04:06 UTC  

There's no way that guy would of watched any of your videos, unfortunately people who descend into petty insults dont usually go and actually consume media that disagrees with their world view

2019-01-08 01:05:01 UTC  

In an ancap society*. A libertarian society can absolutely have national borders

2019-01-08 01:09:37 UTC  

It wouldn't be a true libertarian society
