I cant believe in 2023 people are still trying to understand or rationalize anything that comes from conservatives. You dont stop for even a second to try and make sense of it, because there is none, thats the whole point. Dont grant any of it any credence at all, ever.

Conservatives are artless weirdos, every time.
There is no poetry to their soul.

There is a hilarious and predictable pipeline between conservatives failing in the arts and then becoming grifters. They want to be clever, smart and talented in a world that values (the consumption of) art and want nothing more than to be at the center of it all. However, they lack something critical at the core of their being and take it out on others.
I've seen it time and time and time again.

This is why I want there to be some sort of global scale revolution. Or, at the very least, a chrome extension that blocks all conservative content or dunking on of said content. I just dont want to see it anymore.

Got some family that works in the west end and according to them he's an entitled prick who all the staff ended up hating because he constantly broke theatre safety and security rules and made everyone's lives harder.

Other family also worked the security gate at HMP Wandsworth until recently and quit because, amongst other things, no one else was taking gate security protocol seriously...

Why do people consider libertarianism some kind of "super rightism" by default? They exist on different axes basically. There are several core things your typical "hard core" libertarian believes which your typical "right winger" would totally disagree with.

Notice how you had to use the word "conservative" and then a bunch of other, regressive words to describe "libertarian"? That's a big clue that they are not similar and not even the same kind of thing.

Has there ever been a libertarian party or movement that didn't caucus or align itself with an adjacent dominant conservative/authoritarian group? They can make all the noise they want about having totally different politics, no one cares when they keep supporting fascists.

And that's being generous. Mostly libertarians are just lying about the social politics and will racist it up when given half a chance.

They MAY not be motivated by the same things but in those cases it's merely that Libertarians like the causes and chuds like the effects of the same policies

It's a really, terribly, honestly terrible photo but I once stayed in a house in Bend, OR, with a bunch of people and we found a "trap door" type hatch in the kitchen of the place. It led down to a cellar that the owner had told us to not try to enter. That cellar was ALL black widow spiders and their nests or egg sacs or whatever. It's hard to tell but the walls were crawling with them.



Hey, don't go in the cellar.

Libertarian: someone who values, above all else, ”freedom" in all manner of matters. Freedom generally in practice implying little government intervention.

Conservative: someone who values, above all else, what is considered "traditional". Basically interested in conserving the past.

The two overlap because the US and several other states in the West rest on libertarian considerations.

e:
Y'all are making it sound like taking a conservative and cranking them up to 11 creates a libertarian, which is just not true

If they're pushing the same policy and backing the same or functionally identical candidates, why should I give a gently caress if they claim to have different motivations?

"The effects are bad bad but the causes are very, very good."


To be less glib, the idea where Freedom is somehow enhanced by or necessitated by minimalistic government is very right wing / regressive / whatever you want to call it.

Because the libertarians who actually exist are not the libertarians in your textbook, and they never seem to live up to the ideals you have fallen in love with

They always seem to want child pornography and drugs and not, say, mutual aid scenarios that would allow people to not need the government

Exactly. If they were really about freedom and not conservativism, a top issue in the US would be mass incarceration and prison reform. The US has less than 5% of the world's population but 20% of the world's prisoners. More prisoners than China, a famously repressive regime with many times the population.

But "weak on crime" won't sell with conservatives.
