That isn't a libertarian value, elimination never solves anything

2018-10-26 13:28:23 UTC  

Counter-dialogue does

2018-10-26 13:28:33 UTC  

elimination through counter dialogue

2018-10-26 13:28:42 UTC  

i don't mean bomb every muslim on earth

2018-10-26 13:29:17 UTC  

and why do we need to replace islam anyway?

2018-10-26 13:29:22 UTC  

just get rid of it altogether

2018-10-26 13:29:30 UTC  

along with christianity and all that dumb shit

2018-10-26 13:29:30 UTC  

Also how is libertarianism wishy-washy? Its grounded in centuries of philosophy starting with John Locke before diversification by Rothbard, Friedman, Hayek and Rand?

2018-10-26 13:29:52 UTC  

cuz libertarianism is "freedom this" "freedom that"

2018-10-26 13:30:05 UTC  

Well yes because freedom is the goal

2018-10-26 13:30:12 UTC  

if we're gonna solve problems we need to attack head on

2018-10-26 13:30:17 UTC  

And many actions taken by the state aren't pro-freedom

2018-10-26 13:30:33 UTC  

We must remain principled, not take things issue-by-issue

2018-10-26 13:31:04 UTC  

a rigid set of morals is libertarian?

2018-10-26 13:31:13 UTC  

sounds more conservative to me

2018-10-26 13:31:26 UTC  

issue by issue would be the libertarian approach

2018-10-26 13:31:40 UTC  

there's a difference between principles and morals

2018-10-26 13:33:08 UTC  

Libertarianism HAS a rigid set of principles, yes. And no, conservatism isn't as pro-freedom as you'd think - many conservatives are very protectionist

2018-10-26 13:33:14 UTC  

Like Trump

2018-10-26 13:33:52 UTC  

conservatism is always relative

2018-10-26 13:34:04 UTC  

Yes the definition is very flexible

2018-10-26 13:34:16 UTC  

what might be consider conservative in on country might be consider liberal in another

2018-10-26 13:35:34 UTC  

A conservative in the US is pro-gun, a conservative in the UK is not

2018-10-26 13:35:36 UTC  

For example

2018-10-26 13:36:38 UTC  

Because the overton window on gun-rights is shifted all the way to the left in the UK

2018-10-26 13:36:57 UTC  

So much that its turned into a non-issue

2018-10-26 13:41:58 UTC  

Go back to the gold standard @franti

2018-10-26 13:42:11 UTC  

Then the spending is limitted automatically

2018-10-26 13:42:18 UTC  

:dab:

2018-10-26 13:42:34 UTC  

and watch how your country is contricted

2018-10-26 13:43:17 UTC  

A constricted state is good as it opens the door for private companies to fill the gaps

2018-10-26 13:43:27 UTC  

It won't tho

2018-10-26 13:43:27 UTC  

The Dutch were the last ones to abandon the gold standard in Europe
Only after they did it the economy recovered from the crash

2018-10-26 13:43:32 UTC
