Always thought libertarians didn't watch nearly enough 90s anime. So much of it was evil corporations and Cyberpunk about evil corporations.

They saw "Look at all the cool technology capitalism is going to bring us!" instead of "Holy shit capitalism will use this amazing technology to make everything worse".

“Robot arms!”

Because they lost their limbs in an avoidable industrial mining accident because safety was too expensive.

“But look at ‘em!”

Bruh.

Libertarians are just Fascists too cowardly to call themselves that.

As a former Libertarian, I approve this meme.

Proud of y'all for giving it up :)

Thanks! Yea, I grew up. lol

It's ironic, because I'm sure most libertarians have convinced themselves they're being mature by working against their own interests.

This is the all-time most succinct encapsulation of libertarian thought - giving the government power by voting is tyranny, but random people getting it as a side-effect of money is Freedom.

Old enough to remember libertarians who were smugly asserting Social Security caused the Iraq War.

Now we're stuck with the libertarians who smugly assert that the Department of Education causes transgender teenagers.

Can't have transgender teens in school, if you you don't have school! Checkmate ~~atheists~~, i mean, liberals.

/s maybe, who knows what those chuds are doing anymore

Say goodbye to the old school, ergh, boring - I hate school!

Say HELLO to the patriot Mcschool of dreams, brought to you in association with Coca-Cola - to ensure your patriot Mcschool dreams have Real magic - providing children with the very best school-like experience and for prices lower than you'd expect.

That coupled with this ancient green text and we got a novella series in the works. Too bad its too far fetched to be unimaginable... 🫠

It's not the government until the companies buy the government.

Watermarks need to go away.

To be clear, they also like .gov tyranny if it’s the right flavor

Yeah, the last 6 months has really shown what Libertarians are made of. Fucking disgusting hypocrites.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 19 hours ago

They've always been that way. Its not surprising the "we need to be more selfish" crew isn't standing up for anyone

It never makes sense why some on the right are fine with private authoritarianism

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It makes sense when you realize most of them are stupid people pretending to be smart.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 minutes ago

Yeah, I think it was Matt Walsh that literally made the argument that the government banning porn is wrong and authoritarian but that porn should be banned by all the private companies.
