i thought fiscally conservative, socially liberal was a good term when i was in high school during the Bush era but I realized that this country's standards are way way way beyond that, and i mean it's immeasurably lower so to apply that term actually makes a mushmouthed excuse for wealth inequality and armed fascism to grow unchecked in a stagnant political reality, so now I look at people who say that with contempt because they live on a different planet than people who actually have to struggle to live day to day in America due to active barriers which has nothing to do with bootstrapping at loving all.

From what I've seen, libertarianism is not uncommon as an intermediate step in the progression from "right-wing rear end in a top hat" to "guillotine the 1%".

Can confirm, I was a conservative rear end in a top hat as a kid, a libertarian rear end in a top hat in my later teens, and now lust for bougie blood.

Yeah but it can also easily go down the "murder the poor" fascist route. I think it largely depends on whether they get into it over legal weed or age of consent laws

I thought I was a libertarian because I was on the high school debate team so I had read a bunch of political writing from the original libertarians, so clearly because I thought it should be legal to marry whoever you want, college should be free so you could learn whatever you want, and health care should be free because otherwise you aren't free to live your life however you want, I must be a libertarian  That one ended quickly when I heard about Ron Paul. Which is probably not how most people fell out of libertarianism.

I originally thought Broken Windows Theory meant fix broken windows in communities and make them look nice and people won't psychologically feel as hopeless. Turns out it was actually throw kids in jail for years for damaging abandoned properties.

When I was little I thought the State of the Union was a yearly contest. The first time I heard the term commodity fetishism I assumed people were loving oil barrels or something.
