Pretty cool how back in the '70s, the Libertarian Party prided themselves on being "pro-choice on everything" and now the Vice Chair of the LNC, who has a history of abandoned children with multiple women, is tweeting poo poo like this: https://twitter.com/BreakJoshua/status/1540531780402429952 I bailed on the LP roughly 17 years ago because the sentiments that led me to be skeptical of the government also led me quite far to the left, but the turn they've taken is something else.

Oh, I'm aware of that. I started keeping an eye on the LP again a few years ago when I found out a libertarian socialist caucus had formed, hoping they'd get some leftward momentum going.  at how badly that failed.

Wow, that's pretty insane that the party has devolved into an organization that has that guy as its vice chair. While it's fun to come up with amusing hypocritical anecdotes and fun or depressing citing party stupidity, I try to maintain a view based on the ideology as a whole.

Those Twitter quotes miss some funny parts of the article: When a outside cooperation showed up to offer the services that that democratic collective was feared for providing, the libertarians were Hype. And became unable to imagine how Immortan Corp could ever abuse the power. And the people moving there can't even imagine that "they" could ever allow a rich town to run out of water. This is why even other libertarians make fun of US-libertarians.

My guess is either they made it up, he whined so much he pissed off someone who was then motivated to find out they haven't been paying taxes or have a load of parking tickets or whatever, or his having to make one was part of the agreement of him getting that property and once he did he just refused. Not sure if the last one even makes sense but it's never more than the same couple of things with Libertarians. edit - or he hired a lawyer and dragged it out as long as possible and now believes the city should foot the bill because he's unhappy

https://twitter.com/LibertariansDP/status/1545015448563060736?t=bzV7CCCjNgpkexpkRVHUXQ&s=19 This kind of springboards off the idea that college students are dumb and naive until they get 'a real job' and it's funny to see a Libertarian of all people think it works this way. Realistically, how many people go from socialist to libertarian vs the other way around during and after college? What college socialists are going to read Thomas Sowell and think 'oh! That changes everything!' (aside from that Ancap who got beat up by Greek anarchists or something).

It's classic projection, as if libertarianism isn't a dopey ideology that some people get really into when they're about college-age.

Libertarians don't read. They think books and articles are something you post links to instead of having an argument.

Sowell and Hoppe plus one dude I've personally met (who, frankly, seems like he's on his way back left). That's the only people of whom I am aware. Gary Chartier and Charles W. Johnson are libertarian-adjacent theorists who also purportedly came from farther left, but it is a big stretch to include them. That meme is wishful thinking.

College is the age at which a lot of people fall into stronger ideologies because they're learning a lot about the world for the very first time, and taking a lot of it on just good faith because it's not like a kid learning about the world for the first time will be able to be very critical and informed about things. As opposed to how people later in life fall into ideologies more because they just confirm their preconceptions and won't think critically because they're old and tired.

I was a different case because I want to the big residential university much later in life than most and so was more mature, so I'm a bad example. I had two friends from university of a more traditional age who came from ultra-religious backgrounds and they went totally opposite directions: One was a girl who was like a little sister to me who totally rebelled against her humourless, rural, ultra-Christian family and got into a lot of things of which they would have utterly disapproved such as drinking, drugs, pre-marital sex (occasionally with other women) and so on. I don't think that she was a 'true believer', though, and as soon as she was out from under that household she could finally live a little, though she may have gone too far sometimes. She reminds me of an anecdote someone told me about how the children of pastors/reverends etc tend to rebel a lot because of that suffocating environment. Makes you wonder if the Catholics were right in telling priests and nuns not to have children. The other was a guy who I don't want to slag him off too badly because he was very good to me, but my suite-mate (room next to mine and we shared a bathroom) from my last year of uni was similar, but I think that he very much bought into that ideology even though he didn't come from an oppressive traditionalist household. Unusually, he came from a decidedly upper-middle class (for whatever that means these days) family where his parents were both doctors. Being at uni and away from home didn't loosen him up much. I know for a fact that one of his girlfriends broke up with him because he refused to have a sexually active relationship, and basically as soon as he left university he married (far, far too young) another girl from his church and started having children in his early 20s before he'd even finished his education. He basically left the church, had to go back into the real world for a bit, then ran right back to church as soon as he could. I think about those two a lot because of the similar circumstances but totally different outcomes.

Cars are more regulated than college tuition and hospital/nursing/medical care services. Food is kinda regulated at about the same rate as TVs, toys, and cell phones in that if it has a danger of killing people it'll be stopped.
