Reminds me of the old joke ā€œwhatā€™s the difference between libertarians and republicans? Libertarians know the legal age of consent in all 50 statesā€

This trope and this meme are lame and wrong. You people have a ridiculous idea about Libertarians that is nothing but plain prejudice.

I encourage anyone to prove me wrong by reading this Libertarian Party Platform document. Please point out anything about age of consent that is included in the Libertarian platform.

https://www.lp.org/platform/

Additionally, prove me wrong by showing any example of a Libertarian party member stating support for adults abusing children in the manner alluded to in this prejudiced meme / trope.

EDIT: Downvotes donā€™t prove anything folks. I issued a challenge here - is nobody going to prove me wrong?

No I am offended by the prejudice behind the joke. Itā€™s as bad as Trumptards and Qanon morons calling Democrats pedos.

Probably not a great idea to alienate the Independent type voters ahead of important elections as well. Democrats / Leftists / whatever you are should be courting the votes of those who are not-Republicans rather than driving more division.

I brought this up yesterday, and Iā€™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 ā€œlibertarian = pedoā€ 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 youā€™re white, shut up because your opinions are worthless - thought terminator cliche so ā€˜in your face obviousā€™ that theyā€™re promoting exactly what theyā€™re supposedly fighting against, but most were taken in anyway) - hereā€™s a video of it in action from 2011.

The corporations that run this country love youth internet addiction. Thereā€™s never been an easier time in history to spread or destroy a movement simply by spending money. You donā€™t even need a puppet. Itā€™s the ultimate power.

Wow I didnā€™t realize that happened with OWS. I just remember being disappointed that the movement fizzled out.

Buddy, the definition of libertarian differs greatly from what your ilk discusses online.

Absolute bullshit. You are making up your own prejudiced definition, even after I provided a link to the party platform that LITERALLY defines the political stance.

In other words, you canā€™t prove me wrong, so you move the goalposts.

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 doesnā€™t want centralized government canā€™t also want a centralized government that enforces sociopolitical ideology.

The more you throw around the word ā€œfascistā€ to mean ā€œanything right of me that I donā€™t likeā€ the more the word loses meaning and becomes like the ā€œcommunistā€ rallying cry of the boomers.

I think government only works when it has the power to militarily dominate any competing force.

Much like Obomba taught us, that part in the middle of the meme that looks like says 12 year old is pronounced ā€œMilitary age maleā€.
