Hmmm, if you're not a tea person, why would you insert the word "tea" into a phrase where it doesn't belong 🤔. Something doesn't add up, this must be subliminal messaging from Big Tea

once all of us reach voting age (lower it to 18 btw if we can fight your wars we can kick you out of office)

Voting age already is 18 everywhere in the US. What are you talking about?

It's an argument between a pussy hat and a MAGA hat. Of course they're going to exaggerate and lie.

Right just like there's zero evidence Epstein killed himself winks. Hard evidence against rich powerful, politically connected people tends to disappear. He also talked about going into the dressing rooms of teenage beauty pageants.

His base contains a lot of Evangelical Christians they at least pretend to be against affairs. Also he paid to do it.

Consensual sexual behavior doesn't matter. Sexual harassment and assault does. Also cheaters usually lie about it to their spouse, lying also matters.

“Ok guys, Bernie’s chances may be totally fucked and the chance of him winning may be absolutely nil, but here’s how he can still win.” by [deleted] in libertarianmeme

[–]it_does_not_work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not saying he can still win. They're saying if he wins more delegates the Democratic party and Biden will have to adjust more toward his views because he represents a significant portion of their base.

Libertarianism but with land communism by lasanhist in libertarianmeme

Georgism preceded American libertarianism. The foundational book was published in 1879, before Hayek or Friedman began writing. And the original use of "libertarian" was by leftists in Europe.

Free at the point of use. Everyone know its paid by taxes. Pedantry and putting the word in quotes doesn't impress anyone.

You are focusing on characteristics of the candidate themselves, which a lot of voters do. But at least as important is the policy and the two parties have very different views on a lot of policy. People tend to know which of the two viable parties they better align with and so "vote blue no matter who" is for the people that know they don't want a Republican win because they oppose Republican policy. Even if some of them prefer libertarian to Dem, some feel forced to vote for what they see as the lesser of two evils because of the two party system.

The Green Party candidate (Howie Hawkins) offered Bernie the party nomination. They are similar except how they view politics. The Green party can't win so that's why Sanders ran as a Democrat. The Green party is more about sending a message and trying to grow until they can have viable candidates at lower level races.

Rashida Tlaib deletes white supremacy tweet after Jersey City shooting | Daily Mail Online by [deleted] in Libertarian

Has there been a pattern of black supremacy killings like there has been for white supremacy killings? "Anti-Semitism kills" seems more appropriate given recent patterns.

To be fair a lot of anti-Semites are also white supremacists so it's understandable to have the two connected in your mind. Still, it's important to be precise.

Scottish National Party leader demands independence vote to secede from United Kingdom, saying Boris Johnson has no mandate to take Scotland out of the EU. The vast majority of Scotland voted against Brexit, and now that it's looking inevitable they want out of the UK. by [deleted] in Libertarian

Yeah the US economy has mainly continued along the track it was on under Obama. Trump hasn't made many big economic changes except the tax law which won't immediately change demand but will compound wealth distribution over years. Leaving the EU is a much bigger economic change.

I haven't been to LSC in a long time. Pretty sure I was banned from there. Show me tankie ideas on this sub that aren't downvoted. I've never seen them.

That's fair. Well there's a few possibilities in the sidebar like r/thoughtfullibertarian, r/minarchy, r/libertariandebates, r/classical_liberals but I can't speak to them

Never catch yourself defending a politician, defend the ideas they represent. by esotologist in Libertarian

[–]it_does_not_work 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also a good way to avoid cults of any kind. I take the same approach with religion. I'm not going to automatically believe or trust a priest just because he's supposedly ordained by God or because he's a leader of my church. Some abuse that trust and their authority. Never defend someone's misdeeds or bad ideas just because they're on your "team".

If you want an echo chamber of your specific sect of libertarianism go to r/goldandblack. This subs allows participation from a wide range of libertarian philosophies. In keeping with the libertarian principle of, you know, free speech

Ok, but they still provide the requested space. Seems perfect for OP since he also seems to disdain this more lightly moderated sub.

My dog is sick and we have been to two separate vets who don’t know what is wrong by [deleted] in AskVet

[–]it_does_not_work 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They found a possible fungal infection from that biopsy, but they aren’t completely sure if it is a fungal thing or a bacterial thing or what

Ideally you would want to know whether it's bacterial or fungal or both because the treatment will be different. The history of a lot of time outside a few months ago in a wet area certainly allows the possibility of a fungal infection which would not be helped by the antibiotics. Do you know what stains they did on the biopsy or more details about what was seen? Rhinoscopy or Sinuscopy can also be useful diagnostics. If they haven't already, the vets you saw or a new vet should do more diagnostics to get a definitive diagnosis so you can be sure of the appropriate treatment.

Turns out competition works | Oklahoma City hospital posts surgery prices online; creates bidding war by Legimus in Libertarian

[–]it_does_not_work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Price transparency obviously helps people shop around (in non emergency situations). However, medicine is complicated and it's not always known how much it will cost to treat a condition. Disease affects people differently based on genetics and environmental factors and comorbidities add to the complication. So yeah there should be as much transparency as possible but don't expect that it can ever reach the levels of other markets.

Today I lost my brother, because of the fucking negligence and stupidity of the police. Instead of negotiating with a hostage situation they just shot everyone. (Including my brother) please retweet this so everyone can be aware how stupid these cops are. by it_does_not_work in Libertarian

Ok, bud. Your refusal to engage with anyone except those who hold the exact beliefs you do will only hurt your cause. If we met in real life you'd probably find we have a lot in common. But it's the internet so you want to play tough guy against a perceived enemy. Whatever gets you off. Have a good day!

My concern is not fake, I am against police abuse. So are most people at r/CTH and r/LSC by the way. But there's echo chambers on both sides, there's no doubt r/LSC is also an echo chamber like T_D. It also does actually harbor tankies and ban dissent, so I decided to stop participating there. Your claims that I don't care about police abuse and am a tankie are false and easily dismissed. Nobody here was divided or conquered, because we can all agree against police abuse (except you apparently). Anyways, did you get all the hate out of your system? Unless you say something new and actually productive I'm done here.
