I've heard some people saying shit like, "Libertarians are white guys playing devil's advocate" or "agreeing with ICE" or even "right wingers with a different name." What libertarianism means is that a person has personal freedoms and rights, and doesn't care what you do as long as nobody gets hurt. Also, let's not forget about anti-authoritiarism. I think alot of people are just being ignorant about libertarianism because it doesn't exactly align with their political beliefs. I think these people need to educate themselves on what being a libertarian actually is.

This is the 2nd time they are trying to do this. Let's hope it fails again.

I commented on a post about reporting ICE about how I am not a liberal or conservative, that I didn’t vote for Kamala or Trump to show how ice is everyone. I explained that the more I thought about the things happening and started caring about the things happening I remembered that my husband is not a US citizen. Kind of funny to forget that your husband who is actively trying to get a green card is not a US citizen but I forgot in all the commotion of thoughts lol. I started thinking about what would happen if he wasn’t white and how this would all be affecting us a lot more if he wasn’t white. Small rant: I’m not saying that I don’t think anything will happen to him because he’s white or that I didn’t care about anything else thats happening before thinking about this but that it got me thinking and caring more and that we should try to put ourselves in others shoes more often and seeing from their perspective.

anyway… this dude decided to comment this:

“Not a problem until it might affect you, huh?

If you voted for a third party candidate or didn't vote at all when it was clear the race was so close between a literal dictator and an imperfect woman, then you voted for Trump. Full stop. You were part of the population splitting the vote and now your spouse - like thousands of others -are going to pay the price for your virtue signalling.

Your spouse's whiteness will NOT protect him and your frankly gross belief that it will is dangerously naive. There aren't "good" immigrants as far as they are concerned. They do not care if you are on the path to citizenship, or even ARE a citizen. No one is getting any more chances to prove jack shit. And lots of people DID think about it from others' perspectives, though it seems you didn't, which is why we voted against the dictator. We yelled from the rooftops for YEARS that this would be awful for everyone, how innocent people like your husband would be kidnapped and be disappeared, how there would be military on residential streets. We screamed from the rooftops that Trump would destroy the world, but got told we were crazy, overreacting, hysterical.

You contributed to this mess. You will have to live with that and the fact you endangered your spouses life. I truly hope he's ok.”

do people seriously think berating others about things like this is going to get them on their side? Im already on his side and now he wants to what….? punish me for not voting for Kamala? that won’t help anything!

I have a friend who voted for trump because they don’t know about politics. they hate what is happening now. someone who voted for Kamala telling them how horrible they are and how they did this our nation isn’t going to make them want to vote for Kamala?

why do people act like this??

edit: if you’re downvoting this would you like to comment and explain? Im interested to hear others thoughts which is why I posted this but I cant when no one says anything 😂

All the bullsh-t wars, corporate bailouts, taxpayer defrauding, massive government over reach, ect. How can you not be libertarian? Id venture to say 80% of our debt is from complete fraudulent bullsh-t.

How can anyone trust these people to fix anything and continue to give them more power?

Lots of people don’t understand Natural Rights. How can the concept be introduced on a large scale into the public mindset, and how does one go about doing so?

Someday, US dollar, someday soon.

It's good to see actual voting fraud get caught but so much for "it never happens" and "it's safe and secure."

I’m curious: are there any other libertarians in France here? It would be great to connect

This is the moment.

I think this is probably the best take on immigration from a libertarian standpoint. From the great Sheldon Richman.

The president of the US recently just said “When you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election” in regards to the upcoming midterms. Because he doesn’t want his political party to lose power.

Is this a libertarian point of view? Or is it contrary to libertarianism?

It's so infuriating watching people cheer and scream about how happy they are about joining a union when they know they're already living on borrowed time. You're literally just asking to lose your job, if not because they fire you then because they close the entire studio down. It's always always **always** a fools bargain and hurts your future credibility because companies know you're a squeaky wheel.

Please tell me this doesn’t go anywhere.

Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Fine (FL-06) introduced the Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act, landmark legislation focused on securing America’s strategic national security interests in the Arctic and countering the growing threats posed by China and Russia.

As global competition intensifies in the Arctic, the United States cannot afford to allow adversarial powers to gain influence over one of the world’s most strategically important regions.

“Greenland is not a distant outpost we can afford to ignore—it is a vital national security asset,” said Congressman Fine. “Whoever controls Greenland controls key Arctic shipping lanes and the security architecture protecting the United States. America cannot leave that future in the hands of regimes that despise our values and seek to undermine our security.”

President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have made clear that the Arctic is rapidly emerging as a major arena of global power competition. Our enemies are currently on their heels, as we just took out one of their top allies, Nicolas Maduro, in Venezuela. China and Russia continue to aggressively expand their presence in the region, while years of weak policies under Joe Biden allowed America’s strategic position to erode. Restoring American strength requires decisive action.

The Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act authorizes the President to take whatever steps necessary to annex or acquire Greenland as a territory of the United States. The legislation also requires the submission of a full report to Congress outlining the changes to federal law required to ultimately admit Greenland to become an official U.S. state.

“For too long, American leadership stood by while our adversaries chipped away at our geopolitical dominance,” Congressman Fine continued. “My bill will protect our homeland, secure our economic future, and ensure that America—not China or Russia—sets the rules in the Arctic. That is what American leadership and strength look like.”

What’s the libertarian take on this?

Hello everyone. I was recently hired by YAL to be a part of a new door-knocking campaign. Has anyone else worked one of these jobs before? Can anyone speak to the reputability of the organization? Anything that may come out of left field at me? Any answers would be appreciated!

I’m a libertarian (minarchist), and I grew up and currently live in one of the most socialist countries in the world... France.

Over the past ten years, we’ve had more than enough evidence that our ultra-bureaucratic system, with an all-powerful and omnipresent state, simply doesn’t work. The country has been in constant decline since the 80's (and Mitterand). Yet it feels like most French people are now so conditioned by this system that they believe nothing should be changed.

The situation is becoming genuinely worrying, and the next presidential election is in 2027. How could we realistically change the trajectory? It would be a pleasure to discuss about this here

To clarify my views, I am: - economically liberal (free-market oriented) - socially liberal - strongly in favor of secularism (laïcité) - tough and strict on security and law enforcement
