Replying to Avatar Lyn Alden

Many libertarians are closet conservatives. They pretend to be socially and fiscally open, but in practice they aggressively simp for social conservative dictators when given the chance. Their entire vibe changes and becomes more obviously conservative sometimes after lost elections.

That's a reason why they have limited support to begin with; a lot of people that might otherwise support their views kind of sense this vibe ahead of time and then it indeed plays out in practice.

Well, you might have sold some of the stake of the company and the others are forcing you out in some way or another..

There is some truth to this no doubt. Libertarianism is pretty rad till you realize it champions a radically truncated form of freedom that has real world negative consequences. This becomes particularly acute when you have kids.

I'm afraid that you confuse implications of a legal theory with lack of a personal moral framework. You are wrong, sir.

You’re missing the line ”gets canceled” that connects liberals and conservatives back to libertarian.

Also the wild card decision point “party in power” which if “mine” pushes some people back into their camp of bias, but if “not mine” could lead back both to the libertarian camp.

Leave the cycle by understanding the truth that the state is completely unjust.
