    Libertarianism: The Official Thread Of Freedom As An Ideology.

    Totally agree on these points. I can't vote for him at all. There's a difference between protecting parental rights and allowing child abuse. It's one of the two classic failpoints of the NAP and AnCap morality: the positive duty to care for kids and how to deal with warlords. Look, I'm very...

    Libertarianism: The Official Thread Of Freedom As An Ideology.

    TBC, he's pro businesses being able to discriminate on anything. The civil rights act was a mistake. The solution to a business discriminating is to not go to that business. All the libertarians offerings were pro-businesses being able to discriminate on anything. Him following covid guidelines...

    And yet again, you show how little you know. Say what you will about Chase Oliver, and I've said a lot, but dude was anti every mandate. He wore a mask, but was against any government force to do masking. He took the vax, but was against mandating the vaccine. Those are both fine positions to...

    Libertarianism: The Official Thread Of Freedom As An Ideology.

    I see your point here. Honestly, name recognition matters, but third party stuff dies in first past the post, and everyone knows it. It's not likely to be a permanent exodus, but a temporary exodus, contingent on Republicans actually giving back. Personally, I've long been in favor of stealing...

    Libertarianism: The Official Thread Of Freedom As An Ideology.

    Agreed that Chase Oliver sucked, but the idea that he was constantly booed is wrong. He got a mixture of boos and cheers, depending on what he said. For example, he got booed for saying he had the NRA's support, because libertarians know the NRA is cucked. That wasn't even him getting boos, but...

    He was exactly this shitty a candidate, you just don't know what you are talking about. Again. Seems to be a pattern with you.

    Libertarianism: The Official Thread Of Freedom As An Ideology.

    Well, good news for Trump, bad news for the LP, Chase Oliver won the presidential nomination. He's the liberal candidate, for open borders and such. The Mises Caucus failed in its messaging to the LP completely despite warnings, and Trump showing up didn't help for that. Fortunately, the MC...

    Live stream for Trump speech at the Libertarian National Convention: Currently Senator Mike Lee is speaking. Trump is about to start speaking.

    Speaking of, in an actually awesome UFC fight, Money Maicone won after nearly being knocked out, only to be saved by his opponent celebrating not finishing him. Then Money goes on to win, get on the mic with Joe Rogan, and rant about the First amendment, the constitution, and how y'all gotta...

    Libertarianism: The Official Thread Of Freedom As An Ideology.

    In NH, we control the statehouse by running as Republicans. But more, the very idea is a threat. The entire ideology is anti-system, as Klaus so wisely says (lol). And the idea is spreading. Libertarian ideals permeate some of the best ways and movements that oppose him. Decentralized Crypto...

    This may be the greatest endorsement of Libertarianism ever.

    Libertarianism: The Official Thread Of Freedom As An Ideology.

    Yeah. Note I agree with nearly everything you are saying here, federalization is almost always a step forward. But there is a definite dislike of federalizing away rights that I think needs to be kept. Basically, federalism isn't a goal in and of itself, but a very useful tool IMO. Sometimes...

    Libertarianism: The Official Thread Of Freedom As An Ideology.

    Basically because this here is a misconception to libertarians: Basically, all government is a necessary evil at best. I really don't care what uniform they wear when the bust down my door, I only think it's easier to reduce at a local level. So federalism to a libertarian is just a step...

    Libertarianism: The Official Thread Of Freedom As An Ideology.

    I agree with the majority of what you say, but federalism is always an iffy subject with libertarians, so best for the party not to take a stance on Roe also. Basically, there's two arguments. One goes "All decentralization is good", the other goes "No, I don't care how government is limited, I...

    Libertarianism: The Official Thread Of Freedom As An Ideology.

    So anyway, the Libertarian Party just got back to being a libertarian party from it's woke stupidity over the weekend. EDIT: I should say that this happened during the Libertarian National Convention. Big summary: The Mises Caucus just swept the seats, and is incredibly motivated. The Abortion...

    Libertarianism: The Official Thread Of Freedom As An Ideology.

    Yeah, I note that the video isn't making that claim though. The video isn't saying "don't have a military" or "don't fight back" or even "don't fight wars". It's saying war sucks and there is no way to avoid it sucking, so it's never a solution, just sometimes a necessity. Personally, I'd go...

    Libertarianism: The Official Thread Of Freedom As An Ideology.

    No, we do understand things about military matters. The whole point of the video is that war, even a just war, is absolutely awful and causes otherwise normal people to do horrific things. Basically, that 'humanitarian wars' aren't, because war is always awful. The one quibble I have is with...

    Got it, I'll reply to that bit here: Yes, cheap labor isn't innovation, I totally agree with that. (Also agree with your complaint of bureaucracy but that's beyond scope here). But the thing is, what your advocating for is an artificial limitation on labor to drive up prices. This is a...

    First, I swapped up H2 visas (unskilled labor) with H1-B ones (for the tech workers). So to answer your second point first: people's preference for hiring similar people does exist for both immigrant and non-immigrants, and is mostly irrelevant to me. So to answer your first points: a) the...
