A variety of them, was libertarian for a stretch, stopped when I noticed it was contradictory. I still haven't found a good answer though, everything's flawed.

smg77 posted:So you've settled on nihilism? I can't speak for anyone else, but to me libertarianism worked because it had a kind of just-so story to it. It's one of those systems that, once you're 'inside' it, it's not hard to visualize all problems as relating to it in some way - the issue is that it's incredibly simplistic, and the 'surface' of it (i.e. it presents itself as kind of an extension of hippie-liberalism live and let live) contradicts its material reality (the recreation of feudalism). Though I can't deny there's probably a gendered component to it. Men are brought up with the expectation of being self-reliant, to ask for help is to declare weakness, which is never to be shown under any circumstances. So if you're a young man who's insecure about their gender, you'll end up over-compnesating, and advocating a world were everyone is expected to do everything themselves for themselves Because Liberty neatly squares with that. Which probably explains why it's a common thing for this sub, along with the idea that if you're here, you're somewhat interested in politics (so not having a position isn't acceptable). Same thing with reddit I guess.
