    they will still insist that there is a secret government regulation responsible for their lives being shit.

    We’re the first to tell you that you are responsible for your own success

    The problem is being the last to admit that you are responsible for all your own fuckups.

      To claim credit for your successes you need to also admit fault for your failures, it goes both ways

        I’m dying right now. You must be going through life with horse-blinders on or something.

          What’s your point? Libertarians are all about taking personal responsibility

            Ron Paul can’t even take responsibility for racist newsletters.

            Edit: will you respond with “he didn’t have time to edit them” (undermining the personal responsibility point), or “Ron Paul isn’t libertarian” (No True Libertarian). I await with baited breath.

              I used to like him as an outsider candidate, but I can no longer endorse his views, especially as he tacitly defends Russian authoritarian state by demanding the US go back on its security guarantees.

              There’s a split between Kremlintarians and liberal democracy supporting libertarians. The racist newsletters were the canary in the coal mine, Ron Paul is actually fairly right wing and gets a lot of support from right wing people. I would no longer support him or his son for President.

            Do you have a source on that? My experience with libertarians is “I do what I want, and if I cause problems for you, fuck you” not “I’m personally responsible for my actions and the effects they have on my surroundings”.

            Also, you blindly missing the point, and then dodging it instead of admitting you missed the crux of the issue was just chef’s kiss perfect.

                    To a wikipedia page about the non-aggression principle…

                    Not a source that documents personal responsibility as a core value of libertarianism.

                    So no source?
