"How much capital does any of these people buying the bumper sticker actually have?" Is a question I feel is somewhat pertinent here.

what's the quote/article about libertarianism only really appealing to failures? Like the truly rich can hide their money offshore, get lobbyists to rewrite the tax code, etc. Nobody is really touching their money, and the system is working as intended. It's the struggling small business owners that think they're John Galt.

HobbitGrease posted:the Guardian brought up a connection I haven't seen made before but makes sense to bring up: it is pretty flabbergasting to initiate a trade war while also trying to get your signature trade deal ratified If you look at it from an angle of "power" rather than diplomacy, it makes sense from someone who has always sat from the former position and knows nothing about what actual negotiations entail. Though this is just in a microcosm. US foreign policy has always operated without treating others as equals. It's not as if anyone in the current administration will suffer for any of this, or have any personal consequences.

I know a self-described libertarian who actually makes a lot of money but like someone else said it's aesthetic. During election season he brought up that he's libertarian because he believes in personal freedom and then like 30 minutes later in another conversation he said something about how the government should limit the number of kids people can have. I know the guy well enough to call him out hard on that and he laughed it off and shut up about it. I'm a former libertarian myself for a lot of the same reasons (aesthetics and hypocrisy, not birth limits). I even voted for Badnarik in 2004. I was a huge hypocrite and I'm really lucky/glad I was able to grow out of that.

the only libertarian I've ever really known was one of my good friends growing up. He's 35 and still get a majority of support from mommy and daddy and hasn't held a real job before. He just sits and posts online about guns and freedom and libtards. he also had a gun go off while cleaning it and rip through our apartment wall next to my head while I was sleeping. I moved out a few months after that.

this thread loving owns because the more intense the schad the more im reminded that exactly 100% of chuds who voted for him are going to vote for him again (minus the dead ones) even if their life was ruined, maybe even more fervently because their life was ruined. liberals are such cowards they keep pretending it's a matter of education, if we just show these good honest whites what trumop is REALLY like, how he REALLY ruined your life, they'll see the ligth and vote for [centrist rommel-esque rear end in a top hat]. the truth is they all voted for trump not because they were mislead but because they know exactly what kind of stupid gump he is and what he'll do and what evil he represents. is there a site where we cna bet on this stuff because id like to make some more supersoldier serum for the team but those precursors are expensive man

I moved out a few months after that. i know one of those late 30s, inherited a tiny apartment building near a chemical plant, spends his days doing the only job he's ever had before inheriting which is owner/operator of a small landscaping outfit (it's like 3-5 guys, he drives the mower - family bought him all the equipment for it ofc) since apparently landlording out there isn't too profitable guy loooves his guns and, since his grandparents immigrated from mexico way back, really does not like "illegals" despite hiring them under the table to landscape. he alienated most of that friend group after sandy hook because he was extremely online about it for months. i don't doubt for a second that he's cheering on trump destroying his business to swing it back toward the thread topic of self-owns, a few years ago a friend of mine's roommate allowed his libertarian proclivities to blind him to the need for a liquor license after opening a bar/venue ofc that guy's the kinda libertarian that makes up some ultra-specific term for his ideology like anarcho-corporatist or whatever that allows him to separate himself from the more embarrassing libertarians while still complaining about how businesses are forced to serve black people. last i heard he was all-in on romney, so i'm sure he loves trump H.P.

Suburbs are worse than rurals. Most chuds live in identical candy cutter houses and drive a 40 minute commute in a SUV to middle class jobs. There are rural chuds, more than rural decent human beings. But there are more suburban chuds than rural ones

it heavily depends on which part of the country you're in. down here in the south a lot of rurals are poor/minorities/poor minorities. i'm told that up north and out west it becomes largely white. but i went to a public high school in georgia with a 60/40 white/black population that is now more 40/40/20 white/black/hispanic (with a few asians and indians) in 2016 my county had 10,000 people and only 3,000 voted

Naw this isn't entirely true. The chuds just won't ever vote for someone else. What they might do though is not vote if they're depressed and sad enough. Though absolutely plenty will pull the red lever yes.
