American libertarians seem to be stuck in 2013 era politics, where it’s all about having “principles” and such. But there of course is a problem with that. It is not 2013 anymore, people are tired of this “live and let live” bullshit when that exact mentality is what lead us to having 2 million Haitians eating pets in the first place. The average American libertarian does not view America as a country with borders or ideas, they view it as an economic zone they can rape into getting as much money from it as possible. They view the nations people as cogs that can be replaced by forgiven workers who will gladly work for 1 penny just so they can make 1% more money. They view the lands of the country as profit they can cut down and sell to the highest forgein bidder. That’s why they don’t won’t that bill to pass it has nothing to do with debt it has everything to do with cheap workers. But hay at least they have their principles.

Lolberts are truly the equal and opposite to pie-in-the-sky commies*. And when I think of the adage 'libertarianism is the handmaiden of socialism', I think of California and Colorado: both used to be solidly Republican states but with a strong libertarian (fiscal and cultural) streak, in California even Reagan was originally pro-abortion and pro-fag normalization (him signing off on abortion legalization is well known but
he also voted against blocking off fags from access to kids in schools), while Colorado was the original 'dude weed lmao' state. They attracted all manner of profligates eager to take advantage of their lax mores and push the envelope on degeneracy step by step towards Clown World, with Californians fleeing to & colonizing Colorado after destroying that state and attracted by the weed legalization vote, and the idealistic libertarian natives soon found themselves completely swamped & outvoted by the degenerate invaders they'd welcomed.
Now both states are anything but libertarian (except perhaps by the tortured left-libertarian definition that considers two gay, heavily armed illegal immigrant weed farmers being able to rape and troon out children with impunity on their weed farm to be the ideal) and will literally fight to protect invading gangsters from the global South from being deported by lawful authorities. THAT is the future, the inevitable endgame these niggers shrieking and standing against Miller on 'principle' want for the rest of the country. I have less contempt for literal theocrats than I do for the lolbert crowd and their 'principles', theocrats aren't as suicidal and actually have historical examples of theocracy that lasted for long periods of time (they might've been shit, but not so shit that they fell apart within less than a generation) that they can point to like the Papal States.
* A prof I had ages ago once called Lenin the 'shadow of George Washington', in that both men took an ideal considered to be completely unworkable in their day - Enlightenment proto-libertarianism for Washington, Marxism for Lenin - and successfully applied it to real life by moderating/altering/excising the most unrealistic aspects. Had they not been pragmatic enough to adapt their ideals to reality rather than try to force the opposite, respectively, a US where the Whiskey Rebellion and other attempts to resist even the slightest beginnings of a coherent central gov't would have easily been reabsorbed by Britain and the Reds would've lost the Russian Civil War. The 'shadow' part was that Lenin was evil, his ideology was evil and inherently vastly more authoritarian than Washington or even the worst Federalists ever were, and it showed in the countries they created: the USA remained reasonably free & pleasant to live in for centuries, the USSR was a totalitarian hellhole born amid far more blood than was spilled in the Revolutionary War and didn't last a century.
Or put more briefly, Washington managed to find a way to make libertarianism work at the cost of the more lolbertarian aspects (and doubtless had to deal with the Massies of his day screaming their heads off about it, people like Thomas Paine or Albert Gallatin), while Marxism remains unworkable all this time after Lenin despite countless efforts to 'improve' on core Marxist theory. That may or may have more to do with the ideas themselves than the people trying to apply them to real life.
