I'm libertarian yeah... at least when I first read about it I was like "yeah that fits me pretty well" and every test I've taken puts me as a centrist (left vs right) and libertarian (vs authoritarian). I like a small government that guarantees rights and doesn't overregulate, and supports individualism. I hate almost every new law and strongly dislike the little councils of women that try and make new ones and I end up with lips full of splinters drinking out the cities new wooden straws or some shit. But that's ideological, in practice I think I'm just a basic non-progressive democrat. It's just a system that probably works better, who the fuck wants to privatize the road system or police. I'll spare a little tax money for homeless veterens or the people who *really do* need it. I'd even support a universal health care system so long as you can still use private options if you wish. I don't know, like anything else I don't think libertarianism is retarded unless you go to the extremes with it. It probably has a bad rap because of those sovereign citizen types who almost universally have an IQ under 75. Libertarianism has the same problem everything else does: human society will always have greedy cheaters who game up every system to their advantage. That looks worst with communism, for sure, where it's gamed all the way down-- but with minimal government it's like megacorps dumping toxic waste in your source of fresh water and your megafag neighbor builds a 200 foot high fence in his backyard so you get no sun. Key regulations are simply necessary. As a philosophy of government, I prefer it to anything else though. |

In communism you have to lie about your rontgen meter (3.6, not great, not terrible) to keep your position, the guy above you has to lie that the reactor is even melting down (it's totally fine), and the guy above him is "closing down all lines of communication" and directing the media. |

Antifa + Imported Friends destroying small businesses and inciting fear doesnt make a case for libertarianism, it makes a case for Adolf Hitler, and thats part of why I physically hate them so much. Communism way gayer than libertarian tho final word. |

OK last last word: its dumb to hate on libertarians because we have no traction anywhere. Although I registered as a libertarian when I was 18 or 20, I've never voted for the libertarian candidate. No point. And these days, Dumbfuck Vindictive Trump has a personal vendetta against the only two decidedly libertarian members of congress-- Rand Paul and Thomas Masse, both of whom I almost always agree with. What makes those 2 guys libertarian? They vote no on almost everything, every time. Which i adore. |

This isn't some weird, rhetorical bad faith gotcha (take notes darius)... It's a rare genuine followup query for clarification.... How is it worse than communism? You made the distinction you clearly understand that libertarianism is different from anarchism, which is makes me think you understand it. In my experience people tend to conflate the two and argue against anarchism in it's place. It has law and order, rules, it's just kept small. I *already* agree, and outlined why I think it doesn't really work in a "full send" manner as the kids say, but worse than communism? The US, at launch, was basically an experiment in libertarianism. Had flaws, but really can only be called a success, and there are solid arguments as to why adding more government (particularly national, federal government) has been the cause of more problems than it solved. Communism on the other hand starved and killed hundreds of millions. It's really done nothing but that. Starved, killed, and obfuscated. I see no good to ever had come from communism at any point in history. It's OK to do a French Riot when you're literally starving to death. You know they weren't though because they threw the food on the ground without eating it, trashed the pokemon cards and stole the alcohol. |

I think you, mermaidman, operate best freely. Not pinned down by a well intentioned question. Fuck that question. You're best firing from whatever hip mermaids have. You're best operating under the original libertarian, genuine wild principles. I'll take a wild west libertarian clint eastwood mermaid like you over a communist faggot and boom, really, I win any argument with that (unless you're a communist faggot) |

no man, there aren't but don't be darius here. You gotta admit I already pointed that out as a genuine problem. I did, actually several times. You did see it. Don't let me down by denying that. It's pretty much the main reason I think it doesn't work so well |

I'd like to make a point of clarification: I was probably *annoyingly* pragmatic. I do end up more regular democrat because, like, we need labor laws to make sure a 5 year old doesn't have to work 18 hours a day in order for a family to keep their corporate housing. There is an absolute necessity for such a law, and even libertarianism is set up to add that. It's not baked in, sure, but it can be added. What I want to point out is where I differ: I ONLY want *that* law. The one that curtails the most abuse. I said I hated the little councils of women who tinker with regulations all day and let me double down on that: What makes my viewpoint a little more distinct is that I hate most new laws. Especially those that are "good natured" and preventive. I particularly hate them at the federal level, but also at the state and city level. I hate them at the community level... fucking HOA regulations, I know those are big in parts of England. I hate them at the corporate level, and on the social media level. Forum, conversation moderaters are the soyest losers on the face of the *fucking* planet, and today almost all of them are woke transgender insane activists. Unless they're libertarian, and even then they're probably some weird fucking furry freak. So that's just a clarification on I guess, what makes my stance a bit different. Xltronic is a libertarian forum. |

You can HAVE your gay ass plastic flamingos all over the lawn if it makes you happy. Just don't block out my sun and kill my plants by building a 30 story house in a residential neighborhood, right. It has to hit the extreme to demand even an HOA regulation. |

One of libertarianism's flaws it that it is so permissive it eventually let's itself be deleted and replaced, slowly, piece by piece until it is just communism. That takes awhile though. The midlife is where it shines. |

I'm just scattershotting posts as I think of them now so this is my last post: Libertarianism is the best starting point possible for a government. And communism is the worst starting point possible. You dont maneuver and make new laws in communism, you just align with the party and suffer and die as it degrades, or you fight it and are deleted by whatever means are in fashion. |

Last: XLTs big is a good example. Zero room for compromise, zero room for deviation or differing ideals. Even a lukewarm iq pseudointellical take from woke Darius is dead to him.

yeah thats all fair and reasonable to me. and really ur just saying libertarian for lack of a better word cos political language is a mess imo. for me libertarian felt like an american made up thing about being outsider conservative + a bunch of anarcho takes curdled with shrill patriotism and constitutional stuff that never made sense to me |

i wanna say about darius that she is the only french person here to represent and i know from the riots in uk that its very annoying having foreign ppl press their own politics onto a situation inside your country. was hoping darius could explain more about the details of whats happening in france and her take on it but shes probably too annoyed. i hate riots and feel like protest in general is murky. in the cases where protests seem justified and necessary it never seems to work (hong kong/tiananmen/arab spring). it seems to fail at freeing people from actual tyranny. then you have the cases where its just putschists who have rejected their current society and want to install their own totalitarian visions - when these guys talk about freedom they are lying and i wish media and commentary would see this clearly |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
is any of this really that serious? these riots and protests are just what we have seen at various times but maybe a bit more frequent. considering all the exacerbating factors at play globally this could all be a lot more worrying but really a lot of it is just reheated 70s kinda stuff. anyway how many times have french done this in the last 10 years i thought it was like 200 times already |

I'm going freeform off the cuff It has to be legally distinct from leprechaun which sucked anyway, maybe the first one was good what do I want to see most... hmm. SPACE DWARVES? Waricks old so he's like a chancellor. There are no women dwarves on whatever his council is, that's very important. also no women writers on this show except ONE old nerdy lady who wrote a bunch of drangonlance or something in 1992. A planetary mining project gone wrong? Horror is too easy if it's just crappy aliens, it'd have to be eldritch mind breakers. And it'd have to be darkly trippy. Maybe the dwarves are in the process of turning themselves into machines and the data is being horribly corrupted. Or another idea, off the cuff... The universe around the dwarf planet disappears, totally cut off. Dwarves randomly disappear and sometimes come back all weird, like with down syndrome or something. Again there are few if no women dwarves. Ultimately probably go in the trippy eldritch horror direction again. Or STRONGKEEP, just straight up dwarves protecting their mountain against orcs, but also no women? I dunno like i said this was all off the cuff. |

i CAN do better, especially with a team of actual dwarf writers. my best friend is a dwarf, no joke, so he's auto hired. no women tho |

I think you can literally 1:1 just play Dwarf Fortess and record its emergent randomized storytelling beats into something more interesting than any sensitivity consultan (she/they) would ever give you. In my last game (like 2 years ago) the elvish trade caravan were attacked by a random snake and dropped wagon fulls of thier trade goods on the ground outside my base and peaced the fuck out. We got fat off that for years |
