>>512641391I am a libertarian.
I will never not be a libertarian. Nothing you could ever say would change my mind.
This isn’t because your arguments are incorrect, it’s because your axioms are wrong. I fully understand the folly of my morals, and I don’t care.
What I care about is that you would cede autonomy to a collective in the absolutely asinine hope that the collective would miraculously adhere to your own values, despite an absolutely soul-crushing amount of evidence to the contrary.
I understand more than anyone that I can’t convince you that libertarianism is a winning strategy when it comes to maintaining a society worth living in. I hope to at least open your mind to the fact that libertarian ideals are the only ideals that will ever, EVER produce a society that is briefly tolerable for people who are not complete NPCs.
I have no emotional stake in this claim. I imagine no magical future libertarian utopia that will thrust humanity toward its’ ultimate destiny. I don’t even have delusions of seeing a future more free than the dystopia we share now. I simply know that no matter how long after I die, libertarianism “wins”, quite briefly; then we slide towards totalitarianism until it becomes intolerable once more.
I actually matter, in some tremendously minuscule way. You do not, at all. You have wild fantasies of establishing some vaguely less gay totalitarian dystopia that is just as repulsive to 90% of humanity as the slightly more gay totalitarian dystopia the left wants to implement.
What you both have in common is a deep, possibly genetically rooted, desire to be dominated by authority. The only difference between any flavor of non-libertarian is what flavor of boot they desperately crave to suckle upon
You all sicken me on a primal level. You are all cowards fleeing from the inevitable fate of the Free Man, which is death at the hand of oppressors.
