What makes you think that?  I suppose hanging out on this subforum might make you think that, but that should also give you the idea that fascism, communism, totalitarianism, theocracy, etc is on the rise.

The vast middle class will never be seduced by Libertarian ideology.  Libertarian ideology is for old very-wealthy white males and white males in their 20's from affluent families.

Neither demographic is increasing btw.


Pure personal experience, general internet and observations



I'm pretty young, so there's a reason I say "if I'm seeing straight"
Not going off of any outside analysis lol



Old wealthy whites? The youth is increasingly fond of libertarian ideas as we are going along, atm, as far as I've seen

The new generation is basically liberal, fake liberal, or libertarian.

Give them time, not everyone has the mental capacity to be conservative in their 20's.

excess capacity is the problem, perhaps a lobotomy would help?

...I have noticed no trend toward even a hint of discussion about hard drugs being decriminalized . I imagine some Libertarians somewhere are bringing it up in the dimly lit backroom of a rundown Elks Lodge enveloped in a dank haze of marijuana smoke , empty Pabst Blue Ribbon bottles and faded Ron Paul posters but that does not constitute a trend  :lol:


Interesting development: http://dailysignal.com/2014/10/20/new-civil-rights-division-head-wants-decriminalize-possession-drugs/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=2014facebookads&utm_content=102114civilrightshead

Obama's new head of the US Justice Dept Civil Rights division supports exactly that.
