Greetings, it’s Katrina. Congress’s decision not to renew regulatory authority over dangerous chemicals is making some folks in Washington queasy. But first……
Sorry for the shitty article. It’s the only one I found.
It sucks that the libertarian party are just… Not about libertarianism. Can we change their name? Or something?
I need a name for myself when I simply don’t care what the fuck you’re doing as long as it’s not hurting other people. The dictionary says Libertarian. But Libertarians give SO MANY fucks about what people are doing, even when it is absolutely none of their business.
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.
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.
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 try to do my part by saying Im a Leftist Libertarian, even though Im a pretty mixed bag of leftist beliefs. I could use to get some factoids about the origins of the left libertarian party to inform people with.
to be clear, right wing libertarians stole the name.
Which is a very common right-wing tactic and something we will keep coming across!
I don’t know one word but you could say “I believe in the freedom of the individual”. Also heard people say “socially libertarian”. Which I lean towards as well, but only for individuals.

Does no one else find this maddening?

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

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.

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

Yeah that’s my beef here. I would say the same, but the “libertarian” part still feels like I need to clarify.
“Not like rand Paul, fuck.”
And oh, I don’t think they’re shy about hiding it. Pro life, sure. Pro death penalty, hm.
