    Libertarians have always been right leaning people in sheep’s clothing. Entitled people who think laws don’t apply to them and apply to everyone else. Have heard this sentiment for decades directly from Libertarians. The entire concept is shallow thinking, disregarding science and human nature. What Libertarians are missing is empathy and the social contract of humanity.

    Libertarian = self serving narcissist that lacks empathy.

      Not really. Granted its never been a workable system but much like the republicans they adhered more to their core philosophy in the late 80’s

        I agree with that. In the last 2 decades libertarian has turned into republicunt with out the name.

        The only people that I have met in the last 2 decades that claim to be libertarians are white men in the tech industry. Half of them since 2016 turned full Maga

          Yeah and even back then it did not work at the extreme level they would take it to. Yeah legalization of victimless crimes and citizens income was fine but then like privatization of roads and such it just falls apart.

        Pull on the other one. A libertarian is just a Republican trying to sleep with a Democrat.

      I know. That’s not what the word means, though.

        Dictionary and functional meaning are very different. Once you start drilling into their ideology it is just replicunts without wanting to take the name.

          I disagree, etymology matters. We shouldn’t allow scoundrels to misappropriate vocabulary.
