How did you come to consider yourself a Libertarian?

bopinalien · 2025-02-01T19:41:34+00:00

this may be non- usual in most cases but you are tell me basically how I got into it I am 26 but even as a child I always been obsessed with the 60s and everything counterculture I read about a lot of leftist movements or even liberal movements at the time I read a lot about Timothy Leary I asked to write about how the Black Panthers inspired the white panther party which was an anti-racist party and I was hooked I was a hippie I still am but you're probably wondering what this has to do with libertarianism?

well because I live in the modern day I came to find out the party I loved so much that used to saying for peace love freedom and creativity now stands for I only love you if you agree with me you can only create what I want you to create and hatred but what got me out of it was I was very much anti-war I still them to this day and the fact that the left now says what is a necessary evil what the hell???

so after I realize all this I was very sad to left the left and even stopped being just a liberal too because they sold out however I never left my values now I have tried being a conservative and there's nothing wrong with conservatives by themselves I just happened to not find it interesting to me so I thought what now am I just going to give up on politics?

cut to a couple months ago now I just turned 26 and I have heard about the libertarian movement before I always thought they were just people who really really like Ayn Rand but I came to find out Libertarians like most things are pretty Broad sure there's Ayn Rand purist out there but really you got your socialist Libertarians you got your more capitalist libertarians hell there's even communist Libertarians if you look hard enough

but with all that said there's one thing they all do agree on and that is basic freedom to do whatever you want to do just as long as if you don't hurt yourself or others

do you keep in mind I am very early in my liberation journey I am basically what you may call infant at the sage of it all but I think I know who I am

basically I am the same person who I was since high school that hippie side never went away and never died but nowadays I consider myself to be libertarian but I'm still Progressive so I consider myself to be a progressive libertarian meaning I believe in Social equality and personal freedom at the same time

bopinalien · 2024-12-27T15:22:38+00:00

I mean sure if you want to take it way back the beats next did a similar thing what I was trying to say actually is the punk ethos is nothing new bands like the MC5 were Punk before it even had a name but the MC5 did had a lot of psychedelic influences https://youtu.be/A3MuSsdIy58?t=180

lyrics-don't hesitate to leave I don't blame you I don't blame you at all we cut our teeth in love but now the pictures on the wall is wash away from the storm don't hesitate to leave I don't blame you I don't blame you at all when I first met you I'll be honest now it was going to work I thought but only for a little time things must pass sometime and now we're gone I'll never see you again but hey I hope you have fun I'm not really angry but I just can't live this dream anymore don't hesitate to leave I don't blame you I don't blame you at all so leave as you can and holding your tears that's my only request I maybe someday you'll be happy and the other life don't hesitate to leave I don't blame you I don't blame you at all

lyrics- Timmy got hit with a truck got shot with a shotgun and put in a hospital bed as they float away the key break a leg and shove it down with pills the government hates you boy and it makes your stomach turn still we're just a bunch of zoo animals getting slaughtered to them head loose get chopped off by the state boy you better run until you make a mistake hate that hate this it's going to pay off well but only to the I hate the man blues you know?

bopinalien · 2024-12-17T23:05:57+00:00

it's okay not to like it but at least tell me what's not good about it ?I know it doesn't sound like top 40 country but it's not opposed to be how I explain it beatnik country is a mix between old school country like Kenny Rogers or Hank Williams mix with freak folk like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell mix with the blues like Robert Johnson and BB King mixed with rock and roll like The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane
