I mean.. that’s all they have to be honest.  A lot easier to dig in on 3 positions and fight culture wars. Doesn’t help anyone except people who have guns money and properties, and there are fewer of those every generation thanks to libertarian ideology and unfettered capitalism and deregulation.

Libertarians are always the hero of their own story. One day they’ll be rich or need their gun to save a bunch of nuns from a bad guy with a gun.  10,000x more likely they’ll need to declare bankruptcy, get a Fema check or need a social safety net, but it’s different when it’s them.

“Libertarian ideology and Unfettered capitalism and deregulation”

Every libertarian on earth would point out how the current system is so so far from that description it’s laughable.

Environmental laws, worker laws, regulation on drugs, on alcohol, on driving, mandating xyz, governmental collusion with companies, government subsidies, taxes on income, taxes on specific items that affect competitiveness, banning of items, regulations on everything and anything….

The US is not libertarian, at all.

Even the first amendment is actually libertarian- freedom of speech is already limited because you can’t be slanderous, libellous or call people to action etc.


So if you’re going to criticise the libertarians, rather than imply they’re the cause of the current problems, point out that if they got their way there’d be much much bigger ones
