I love this thread. I've been asleep for the past 7 hours and woke up to the rest of the sub piling on Cam.

It was a nice treat.



It happens that every time "Libertarians are split" you "just happen" to fall in line with the Republican party.


Its hard to agree with the Democrats with anything now that theyve fallen off the deep end

He is the most vocal opponent of gun control. He explicitly said he's against tariffs. In the past he's been very vocal against the war on drugs, police brutality & other law enforcement related issues. I remember when the Syrian war was talked about him being against intervention. Your're either ignorant or purposefully being dishonest.


so vocal he completely avoided the topic of trump's push for gun control http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=78266183&f=119 god forbid he critique the emperor :o

oh and your only contribution to that thread was to attack scaly, go figure

there isn't anything contradicting here, cam is an ancap aka right wing leaning libertarian so he's going to agree with the republican party more often than the democrats on many issues, but some obvious differences are the war on drugs, military intervention, and things of that nature.

i'm not sure how this is hard to understand or even important to people on this forum. why are people desperately trying to categorize cambovenzi?


I have a working theory that involves them not being up to the task of debating me on the actual issues so they try to paint me into a box of undesirable traits. Trump/republican shill, fake libertarian, etc.
(There is a fragment of amusement for me in their false claims due to their extreme often-willful ignorance about libertarianism, especially relative to what i know. they are hardly a qualified judge)

It fulfills a variety of psychological pressures and is a common tactic among the modern identity-obsessed left. feelings and smears instead of real arguments.
It feels good to pretend that its only racists and shills who would disagree with you. a defense mechanism to avoid the bad feelings of admitting you are wrong and an excuse to avoid real intellectual pursuit.

Jordan Peterson discusses something similar about why people like to misrepresent him and try to paint him as a bad guy.
They do not want to accept that a very intelligent, knowledgeable and reasonable person disagrees with leftism, because that would mean its reasonable to disagree with it.
It would mean admitting that its not good leftists vs evil dumb rednecks and racists, and that something is wrong with their world view.

The issue with his assymetric criticism is that he goes out of his way to avoid posting about issues he SHOULD be criticizing Republicans for, even when it's an easy subject to criticize for. Republicans are in power now. He should be railing against them constantly because Trump constantly violates his Libertarian principles, but his criticisms of Trump are few and far in between.

Then when he does criticize Republicans there's an assymetry in intensity. When its Republicans its a disagreement, when its Democrats we're freedom hating baby killers.

By attacking you mean point out his hypocrisy then yes. When Trump pushes some gun restrictive policy and a person that has always been for more restrictive gun policies criticizes Trump for said policy that's pretty fucking hypocritical.

I didn't feel the need to contribute. I'm not a libertarian, nor do i feel very strongly one way or another when it comes to the second amendment so i choose to spectate, what's wrong with that?
