Hope they vote for their Libertarian choice and siphon off some TFG votes!

I mean conservatives have always been masquerading as (L)ibertarians since 1971 here in the US.

Just a sign that they are easily manipulated

Actual libertarianism is open border like you know people who want to do business here have every right to, and for those “illegals” that commit crimes you have the guns.

Fake libertarianism think it should be controlled…. Wait, by what government? :facepalm: xenophobic much?

But libertarians are conservative. They just also like weed and bitcoin

Libertarians denying their conservatism so they can act wicked online while propping up Christian nationalism in the real world is happening!

It's interesting that conservatives would try to masquerade as libertarians, considering that conservatives are the one that want to and have tread all over our rights. Hopefully nobody is falling for it. They are essentially the antithesis of liberty and freedom; see voting, abortion, lgbtq rights, and on and on and on...

I was really confused about libertarians when I was younger because the way it was described to me was being for freedom. So I thought it was pro-lgtbq, prochoice, for religious freedom, anti-hoa kind of stuff right?

Turns out it was vehemently antitax, anti universal healthcare, religiously driven, gun worshipping zealotry. Basically "freedum 4 peepol like me and no one else!"

That was really disheartening to learn. There's a libertarian militia cult near the town I grew up in. Cut off from everyone else, had shootout in the 60's with the police. They're still there in the same compound in the woods. They don't bother anyone these days, but still. It's kinda disturbing to know there's some very angry people armed to the teeth living out there.

Here's a parody by me, made when I was much more naive and Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid just came out.

Edgy leftists forget that the "treading" in question is state oppression and ergo "I'll tread where I please" is openly signaling your intention to be the boot in an authoritarian nightmare country part 83,737,478,392,929.

Look I find the gadsen spamming as annoying as anyone else but for the fucking love of god stop pretending like them being media illiterate is a valid excuse for y'all to act media stupid.

Where's the gator version that makes it into F.A.F.O? Why don't we get more turnabouts like that anymore‽ Just anything that implies the maker actually goddamn understands what they're working with and isn't just going for the perceived easiest "no u!" to an annoyingly overused piece of media?

Your “state oppression” is my “collecting taxes, enacting gun legislation, providing public services and enforcing age of consent laws” and to tell you the truth that sounds pretty good to me

[–] [email protected] -5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, my state oppression is the police sanctioning my family being killed for not being right wing enough you fucking gaslighty lunatic.

Especially right now, not everyone worried about this country becoming an authoritarian hellscape is worried about common sense gun reform or minimum standards of medical care, some of us are worried about the fact that the guy who set a lynch mob on the capital is a breath away from having the legal authority to do it next time, and being so damned flippant about Anti-Authoritarian messages really doesn't make me think you're taking that very real threat seriously enough.

Fuck all the way off and choke on it if you're gonna go out of the way this hard for the sake of defending a stupid turn of imagery that doesn't signal anything except that you feel smug about identifying yourself as a probable bootlicker to be clinging this much to "Imma step on the snek all I want!"

It's not clever. It's not cute. Especially in today's day and age, it's just fucking tone deaf.

What.the.fuck.are.you.talking.about. Have you not clocked that your comment comes off as if you’re a classic libertarian? If that’s not what you intended, take a goddamn internet break and work on your communication skills

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

These boots were made for treading,

And that's just what they'll do.

One of these days these boots are gonna tread all over you.
