Forming some thoughts in my head, so this is a bit stream of consciousness, but it occurs to me that in contemporary politics "anarchists" are "left" and "libertarians" are "right" but if you actually look at what both groups say about the core issue each focus on - statism - they both criticise the state largely for the same reasons.
This is perhaps the best example I've seen yet of just how much of a psyop the whole left vs right bullshit is.
If people are arguing over what laws the government should put in place for controversial issues pushed by the MSM like environment, lockdowns, vaccines, abortion etc, they're bickering within the statist framework and are distracted from their shared view that the state is the enemy.
If one person is protesting for Trump and another protests for Hillary it doesn't matter they're still equally statist.
Furthermore, I'd argue that there aren't even two parties, there is one. They just use different rhetoric to attract people into the illusion they're "voting" for their leaders, with a load of manufactured controversy pumped out during elections by the MSM creating polarisation, forcing people to take sides - but both sides are still statist which is all the politicians care about.
If one excuse for stealing more of your money and taking more of your rights away doesn't work, another one will - terrorism, war on drugs, environmentalism, whatever.
