99% of political discourse is about liberalism v conservatism.

The 1% of discourse about libertatianism v statism is what matters.

It feels like playing hopscotch when I look at political spectrum charts.

It’s crazy to think about how so many people get caught up in left vs right.

Need to go live in that stateless 1% of our world

Except during COVID, liberals completely got rid of personal freedoms and went full authoritarian

Great recent Robert Breedlove WIM episode on this subject. Very worth a listen!

Thanks I’ll check it out

Check out this great interview regarding left v right (liberal v conservative): https://salemcenter.org/podcast/policy-at-mccombs/the-myth-of-left-and-right-caplan-and-hanson-interview-the-lewis-brothers/

Very strong arguments that left v right is completely non-sensical. Mostly just a hodge podge collection of individual issue positions that people try to apply a liberal v conservative justification to after the fact.

Agree 💯 that Libertarian v Statist is definitely more useful and relevant. Here there is a clear philosophical basis for each, from which individual issue positions follow.
