I brought this up yesterday, and I'm not even a libertarian. I just have working eyes and those muscles between them run decent enough too. The ideology of libertarianism is so harmful to the corporations that run this country that it had to be astroturfed into the thought terminator cliche of "libertarian = pedo" amongst an entire new generation. They destroyed Occupy WallSt in a different but similar way, by infiltrating all the influential OWS groups and making identity politics a core tenant (if you're white, shut up because your opinions are worthless - thought terminator cliche so 'in your face obvious' that they're promoting exactly what they're supposedly fighting against, but most were taken in anyway) - here's a video of it in action from 2011.

The corporations that run this country love youth internet addiction. There's never been an easier time in history to spread or destroy a movement simply by spending money. You don't even need a puppet. It's the ultimate power.

Wow I didn't realize that happened with OWS. I just remember being disappointed that the movement fizzled out.

Divide and conquer is a well-known strategy, used endlessly by the brainwashers
