I’m not really a big fan of this facebook meme, because I’d take the solo boat and some basic paddles any day over a large ship full of idiots with no means to propel itself.
I don’t get why the activity of mocking Libertarians is so popular on Reddit and Lemmy. It’s a 3rd party that never wins elections, and promotes individual freedom and fiscal responsibility. So what?
Because they promote selfishness, and given their way, would benefit few at the expense of many. Humans are inherently stronger as a group than alone. We need to use that strength to do things for the common good, such as providing services such as fire fighters, libraries, and education. Libertarians would prefer to avoid helping anyone but themselves.
libertarianism is when no one works together appararently.
Of course, because “every organization is less effective than individual” :P
Additionally it’s “literally socialism”
True story about what happened when libertarian-ism went into overdrive in a New Hampshire town.
They don’t want to admit it but they are just a few steps away from anarchy.
Soo the, we got problems to big for one person alone to solve. If we let every fucker do whatever he wants we going down fast. We need inteligente population orientated to something good, organizerd trough democracy.

They say driving in public rides with protection from a government that doesn’t let companies poison their air, or drink from lead pipes …
The way Libertarians claim, in the broad sense, they are literally the same as anarchists.
However, most of the time when you get into the details, they just want the government to protect them doing whatever they want and oppress others. They’re literally the same as conservatives.

Pretty much everyone admits it. Minarchist (pro minimal govt) flag is literally ancap with black changed to blue.

Free Market is essentially a “continuous democratic process”. If what somebody does benefit people, he gets incentivised with profits. If people see no value in what he’s doing – he gets losses. And if in the process of " doing whatever he wants" he does any harm to others ge gets sued.
And all of this happens constantly instead of once in a couple of years, without almost any accountability from those who’re in power as it works in republic.
I disagree that the free market is democratic because hedge funds and the richest people in our society control all of the “votes” in a free market, even after taxes. This can probably be blamed on capitalism, stock markets, and money-driven lobbying.
I kind of get your post, but you should seriously proof read it. I don’t even know what the last sentence means
They say while driving on public roads provided by a government that doesn’t let companies poison the air or install lead pipes for drinking water

Jokes on all of us, there’s no true libertarian.
