its funny we both score the almost the same on political compass tests but most pale pasty privileged lefties would call us reich-wingers


Ive had someone lecture me when i mentioned i was a libertarian at a dinner party where they launched an arsenal of strawmans based on memes they say on /r/politics no doubt.

the pseudo intellectual crowd love to talk themselves into a hole and i just like watching them dig.

i tend to avoid all political convo irl unless its with people i already know well and can trust that it wont turn into some ridiculous moral lecture

my main HH group before covid had such a diverse group of politically different people (all smart and do well in their fields) and at the start of HH its spirited debate. after 3-4 drinks its youre just a commie or a fascist lmao. just like the internet but with drinks and irl interaction

Taxation is theft

Taxation is rape


Taxation is complex power allocation

It is imposed and voluntary at same time depending on the law and the country you use.
Taxation is helpful/works with competent government and incompetent mob. If the corrupt or incompetent use it then it becomes a tool of enslavement rather then prosperity

Indeed. But after a certain point permanent citizenship is also voluntary.

i categorized him as what he identifies as, and what he was for over a decade, not what's left after Trump era diddled him.


Nah, Cam has remained pretty constant. He was never, ever, ever, willing to criticize Republicans in any meaningful fashion. That wasn't new under Trump, it just made it really obvious.

Being a libertarian in 2020 is like being a Jew lover in mid 1930's Germany.

Prove him wrong by showing historical records of your posts where you criticize Republicans in a meaningful fashion.

Extra Credit: Do it without mentioning foreign policy or the military industrial complex

Rofl. All of your opinions are a carbon copy of MSNBC.

Barely able to spare 2 brain cells to rub together on most topics.
