how is it?
libertarianism seems far too wishy washy to me
korwin dindu nuffin wrong
replace islam with any ideology I dont care
not as wishy washy as social democrats
why replace when you can just eliminate
That isn't a libertarian value, elimination never solves anything
Counter-dialogue does
elimination through counter dialogue
i don't mean bomb every muslim on earth
and why do we need to replace islam anyway?
just get rid of it altogether
along with christianity and all that dumb shit
Also how is libertarianism wishy-washy? Its grounded in centuries of philosophy starting with John Locke before diversification by Rothbard, Friedman, Hayek and Rand?
cuz libertarianism is "freedom this" "freedom that"
Well yes because freedom is the goal
if we're gonna solve problems we need to attack head on
And many actions taken by the state aren't pro-freedom
We must remain principled, not take things issue-by-issue
a rigid set of morals is libertarian?
issue by issue would be the libertarian approach
there's a difference between principles and morals
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
Like Trump
conservatism is always relative
Yes the definition is very flexible
what might be consider conservative in on country might be consider liberal in another
A conservative in the US is pro-gun, a conservative in the UK is not
For example
Because the overton window on gun-rights is shifted all the way to the left in the UK
So much that its turned into a non-issue
Go back to the gold standard @franti
Then the spending is limitted automatically
:dab:
and watch how your country is contricted

A constricted state is good as it opens the door for private companies to fill the gaps
It won't tho
The Dutch were the last ones to abandon the gold standard in Europe
Only after they did it the economy recovered from the crash
