Reminds me of the old joke "what's the difference between libertarians and republicans? Libertarians know the legal age of consent in all 50 states"

There’s one more group that would make this argument…..

Only one? I'm stuck between the US court system and Mormons looking for a wife but I guess Republican Congressmen's Dating Pool is also a possibility.

What about the Catholics? The age of consent is 12 years in Vatican City

Libertarians are fascists…

[–] c0mbatbag3l 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Libertarians are morons in their own right but the core philosophy of libertarianism (in the political compass sense) is the opposite of authoritarianism, which is where fascism stems from. A group that doesn't want centralized government can't also want a centralized government that enforces sociopolitical ideology.

The more you throw around the word "fascist" to mean "anything right of me that I don't like" the more the word loses meaning and becomes like the "communist" rallying cry of the boomers.

Libertarians are also hypocrites that don’t follow their own ideologies.

True, but are they actual libertarians, then? Wouldn't they just be conservatives? You can call yourself whatever you want, actions are what define you.

[–] danc4498 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I was just being super cynical. The elected libertarians never seem like actual libertarians.
