The party has always been useless, but libertarian thinkers of the past have been among the best economists and opponents of totalitarian government. The problem is that they're ignorant about the importance of culture in promoting liberty, and many become too ideologically rigid to recognize existential collectivist attacks on their existence...like mass immigration, etc.
The whole "libertarians going woke" thing is something different entirely though...that's straight-up leftist subversion. What it means, is that most of the sane libertarians have abandoned the Libertarian Party to the degenerates and now count themselves among the pedes and American Patriots.
They're likely to use the "nuclear option" to destroy the fililbuster with some procedural bullshit that can't be filibustered.
At the very least, they're allies of convenience. I really can't make heads or tails of their true relationship though:
The globalists have enabled the rise of the CCP and continue to enable them, but what's their contigency plan for when China no longer has use for them? As things currently stand, the rest of the world could stand up to China if not for the globalists...but once China pulls far enough ahead, that changes. Even if Xi is a globalist sock puppet, China is too ideologically nationalistic now to remain subordinate indefinitely. If they become the premier world power, the globalists could end up subservient or dead...which I doubt they want, after working for over a century to enslave literally the entire world.
"Do not fuck with us."
For me, it's really hard to choose the most dangerous villain, between the CCP and globalist overlords.
"They may be psychotic, but at least they're dominant!"
Women are attracted to confidence. Even liberal women are attracted to confidence, but they go about it in a more insane and broken way. They hate themselves too much to admit their attraction to anything their ideology disagrees with, so they seek gratification from degrading themselves as much as possible instead.
Some of them are just so consciously married to their ideology and subconsciously resentful that nobody has made them feel submissive (because their insanity makes the juice not worth the squeeze), that they go out of their way to find weak men to dominate like vile worms, to justify their own hatred.
Then their hatred and insanity grows to the point where they want to collectively subjugate even the individually strong men to prove their insane ideological point, and they have literally no idea why they're so unhappy until the fucking Caliphate puts them in their place. Then basically everyone's unhappy, except a few guys with harems.
tl;dr: [Weak men let] Liberal women ruin everything, for all men and all women...but not because they're actually attracted to soy boys. They're not. They just bought the lie that power is more important than being attracted to their partner.
They stacked the vote counting and kicked out our poll watchers from multiple jurisdictions. Stacking the auditors in a single county with people who aren't DNC operatives is just the very first part of us getting even.
For the record, your second sentence does not make the first one sound any less depressing.
Agreed. As a pragmatist, I tend to side with "the most decentralized structure that could reasonably work." It's easier for a local community to respect the individual dignity of each of its members than a globalist empire whose leaders see everyone except their own families as tools, slaves, and statistics.
There could be a number of reasons for that:
- It's easy to say the right thing in the wrong way, where something about the delivery antagonizes or alienates someone. I fall afoul of that a lot of times too.
- Different threads attract different kinds of posters (at different times of the day).
- As times go on and the reality of our situation gets more real to everyone, maybe more people are starting to drill down a bit and think more strategically. I hope that's the case.
Individualism has some weaknesses when taken to such an extreme that you refuse to use collective self-defense against collectivist attacks, or when libertarians defend the "property rights," etc. of colluding internationalist corporations or NGO's which form de facto governments.
However, collectivism is almost never for the genuine benefit of any population, but a tool for oligarchs to centralize all power.
Centralized power is the worst case scenario.
All of the people crapping on Rand Paul are biting off their nose to spite their faces.
He's too polite, but he's not our enemy. He voted for certification because he knew that he couldn't stop it by himself, and that his vote against it would establish the principle that Congress can "arbitrarily" decertify a state's electors, giving Democrats the excuse to decertify any election they don't like in bad faith. He fails to understand that this is outright political warfare, and that he isn't protecting anything that the Democrats won't steamroll over with or without precedent. That is, he was playing chess, on our behalf, based on outdated rules. He needs to catch up, but he is not our fucking enemy.
Oooooof, that's a red pill.
Oligarchs will be oligarchs, regardless of which ideology or ethnic group they pander to. We will never be able to change that. Government MUST be strictly limited, and power must be decentralized; humanity cannot survive global totalitarianism of any kind at our level of technological advancement.
It's too bad he didn't promise, "And if we don't take drastic action in half that time, I will kill myself to save the CO2 emissions."
"And we will soon be implanting chips to detect this and release a fatal neurotoxin." Or some shit.
The problem is that we aren't organized.
People need to take action to organize, before we can take meaningful action to win.
Words are needed to promote organization...but that said, President Trump's words aren't doing that as much as they could or should.
WTF is that thing?
The Founding Fathers didn't just riot as some atomized mass of pissed off people though either. They first organized into a legitimate political alternative to the British Empire, got their leadership/logistics/communication figured out, and THEN declared independence. That's why they won.
Someone always controls the government...and in a fascist state, it's not going to be you or me.
If she gets her wish, she'll only like the result until it personally affects her.
What a great woman!
That's the irony. The entire left/right spectrum was dreamt up to polarize people toward two flavors of totalitarianism, when the rulers literally don't care which one they get...as long as they get one.
The Chinese Communist Party calls itself communist, but it seamlessly shifted its policies from communist to fascist, and the only difference it made was to make the abject tyranny more sustainable.
That's pretty awesome. I kind of like the idea of a faded/worn/torn one, like it's the battle veteran Betsy Ross version, but a fresh flag was a very thoughtful gift.
Just wait until this guy finds out that everything he knows is a lie.
