You mention the word "libertarian" with a negative connotation and they come out in full force. And they're surprisingly telling me I don't understand the philosophy (which only they think is complicated) because I'm saying they think a private company should be able to do what they want. All of a sudden, well it's complicated. Such a cringe philosophy.
I don't think it's libertarianism per se. It's that the conditions for implementing such a system is impossible. I agree with it morally 100% The government would have to be orders of magnitude smaller and less intrusive, and I think, like socialism, it ignores certain aspects of human nature that authority must constrain. A system could work in the micro, with a group of folks who all had a likeminded purpose and integrity.
Ayn Rand's biggest flaw was that she thought people were rational. Most people are not. When shown the error in their thinking or ideology, most dig in and become more irrational.
He was making a comment about the Uniparty (vs Libertarian). True, libertarians support the ability for collusion - but they don't support collusion. They identify it and cease to do business with companies of low integrity. It's a short term loss but long term, it exposes and destroys bad businesses.
Guess I should've been clearer. They support the right of Robinhood to do this. Although from the self-proclaimed libertarians here, they have apparently become Statists on this issue and want to wield the power of The State to force a private company to do business with people. Pretty convenient. If I was still libertarian, I'd go down with the ship and say, yes, this is a failure of the free market and it would hopefully correct itself if not for The State. I've spent a long time arguing this shit. But the libertarian here just flip flop quick. Sad!
Libertarian party is full of people that are not libertarian because no one votes for the party. We’ve been getting convinced that voting republican makes our voices actually get heard lol.
This why small government is key. But we’re busy pretending republicans and democrats are different parties fighting for us.
Lols
Libertarians all the way baby!!
Try independent and yes I agree with the whole fuck the 2 party system. Its a joke at this point.
Independents are just coward who pretend like they don’t have a side to sound sophisticated.
I think all Americans should be independent. don't let your enemy know your numbers!! They will never see it coming. Keep them on their toes.
Libertarians unironically support Robinhood shutting down trading and the collusion of all these private companies.
Agreed. It's not very libertarian when all of these companies are allowed to manipulate and backstopped by the guns and force of the government.
