Very annoying but unfortunately common “libertarian” hot take semantic buzzword that is misused. The “what do you mean OUR women? You don’t OWN them”. (referring to European women getting raped by 3rd world animals the globalists keep letting in)

Something can be “yours” because of association without being literal property. For example: your wife or your grown child. You don’t OWN your spouse or 40 year old child, but they are still YOUR spouse or child as opposed to someone else’s.

Likewise, the women of the various European countries being raped by foreigners are TO that country the same way that you are related to your grown child. “Our women”, meaning “women native to OUR country” as opposed to people native to OTHER countries.

The people of Europe are collectively understanding that they are more similar to each other than to those of other countries the same way that you and I, as anti-statist radicals are more similar to each other than to other groups despite otherwise large differences of opinion.

For quite a while I have become deeply disappointed with libertarians...

Same. As Dennis praeger puts it (though he uses this to describe republicans and Christianity, but the comparison still works), libertarianism is a “cut flower politics”. They took 90% of the political positions of Rand but disassociated it with the rest of her philosophy. This disassociation is how you get idiots like Gary Johnson swearing that a carbon tax is consistent with the NAP. 🤦‍♂️

Exactly.
