Isn’t libertarian about smaller government and trusting adults to make their own decisions?


In the US? No. Hah, no, not at all.

I mean, that’s their bumper sticker pitch, sure. But it breaks down real fast when you actually look at the policies they push.

There are some true believer libertarians out there tho! They do things like take over towns & run them into the ground.

Libertarianism is a failed ideology in the USA. You can argue it was co-opted, etc, which is fair… but that’s where it is.


That's complete bullshit.

OP stated correctly an honest belief of limited government that people hold and your response was just a misguided political rant.

Each of your misguided points could be torn apart, but this isn't a political thread. It's a thread about Apple VisionOS ffs.


Good luck at tearing apart things I can point to VOLUMINOUS real world examples of. Because, while Libertarians can talk a good game, their actual actions demonstrate what they are very clearly.

Your denial of reality to defend your ideology being one example itself. Face it: you’re just feeling emotional that your pet faith isn’t respected.
