        libertarianism is about how the government should f off (appealing if you’re already rich)

        fascism is about how all power should be vested in a single person who leads everyone towards the will of the nation (appealing if you’re stupid and a bit of a romantic)

        admittedly today’s “libertarians” are often in name only

          But how is that in any way compatible with libertarianism?

          I presume not “libertarian” in the old sense of anarchism. Even that doesn’t particularly like electoral politics at all.

            I don’t have to agree with everything Mamdani says to realize that the establishment Democrat party is incapable of standing up to this administration. Hence the whole political pluralism thing.

              Libertarians are overwhelmingly siding with republicans. Doesn’t that mean anything?

                Uh no. Does the USSR mean anything when talking to an anarchist?

                Trans rights are human rights Free Palestine. Abolish ICE.

                That any clearer for you?

      Well this here is Earth. That over there is a beetle. Those up there are clouds. Oooh and babies come from a stork. I have no idea what a stork is but I’ve been assured that’s where babies come from.
