   Imagine how jealous that skeevy little neo-Nazi prick Erik Prince is right now. This is like his go-to jerk fantasy.

     America's whitest and most privileged but IDEOLOGICALLY-QUALIFIED neo-Nazis definitely want you to know - especially you LADIES - that they're just cool decent guys who just HAPPEN to have tripped and, of BEST FREEDOM-y intentions, stumbled down a long bouncy rabbithole of actively malevolent Brownshirt fucking fascism, but they didn't. They walked there. And if they're genuinely smart guys, they understood every step they took down those stairs, and if they're too dumb to have understood every step, then they were SO fucking stupid that they joined an ACTUAL American fascist movement thinking it was a good thing.

     There's no upside there. Move down one barstool.

     Before we let that one just dangle, America's most influential academic libertarians considered the Pinochet regime a kind of Petri-dish Golden Age of explicitly "freedom"-loving fascist-administered economic utopian policy prescriptions and implementation that also happened to execute "leftists" - people opposed to Pinochet's coup - by flying them out over the ocean in helicopters and pushing them out from great heights.

     The Proud Boys, an American fascist organization that participated in the 2021 coup to overthrow and end America as a democratic republic, routinely wore/WEAR t-shirts that invoked that^ specific knowledge by showing images of people being thrown out of helicopters with the words "Free Helicopter Rides" and (perhaps on the same t-shirts, maybe different ones, I'm not sure of the specific SKUs) "Pinochet did nothing wrong."

     Proud Boys, SOME leadership of which is now imprisoned for attempting to destroy the United States of America, share ideology AND romantic iconography with our kindly local perfectly well-meant libertarians, so, for emphasis, libertarians can eat shit and fuck thence straight off into a fiery active volcano.

     Poor #libertarians, you got your own prospective American Pinochet and shot your wad all sweaty and breathlessly except you didn't do it in the basement this time and now everybody knows you're just standard neo-Nazi scum. S'gotta suck but I can't say you didn't earn it so enjoy that personal responsibility, Chad.

     LIBERTARIANS SEVEN YEARS AGO: We are the more textured nuanced people of "the right" while insisting the linear spectrum of politics does not fairly reflect that we may differ with "the left" on matters of means towards economic liberty for all whilst sharing a mission toward better economic outcomes for all people.

     A RATIONAL PERSON: Right, whatev, fine, yes you can get a hit on the joint, ya fucken Greenwich dweeb.

     LIBERTARIANS NOW: [Ibid].

     A RATIONAL PERSON NOW: Ah so that's why you voted for, greenlit and even now mitigate concentration camps and making women chattel "tradwife" white-baby-incubators and an attempted fascist coup, you skeevy neo-Nazi piece of shit.

     The fun thing about the last six years, though, is it taught everyone what many of us knew about them for decades: whatever venomous bigoted sack of shit fascists win and wind up oppressing the shit out of people, they will have #libertarians' full and unqualified support. For liberty.

     This is a pretty good point, but I think it also divies up your Republican fascist support, cuz the libertarian Republican neo-Nazis are definitely going to be for the private sector and against the proper STATIST Nazis, but that's the libertarian "principle" in operation - i.e. if some verifiable sack of garbage is rich he is de facto good - and I'm not sure how far that goes into the Trumpista neo-Nazi base. Like the latter are against "big government" but they don't really know what that means because they're fucking stupid, whereas the thing that brought them around to full-throated fascism was absolute fealty to an infallible evangelically malevolent strong-man invoking "patriotism" without them remotely getting "patriotism" is what you invoke when you actually have no policy to sell to actually help anyone, you just want power to be a cunt.

     So the dumbfuck neo-Nazi MAGA rank-and-file I think definitely go Putin because they absolutely love to venerate indefensible assholes and thus think Andrew Tate is smart and virtuous, whereas the better educated slightly less dumbfuck neo-Nazi MAGA libertarians who sell insurance and work on Wall Street probably go #Wagner.

     Just my two cents. Let's throw it to Timmy Legs to see what he thinks.

     Republicans gotta be completely confounded by this one, though, like who do you root for, the Nazis or the other Nazis?

     If that sounds eerily like Republican Utopia, it's actually not eerie at all.

     Man, though, if you want a nice snapshot of privatization working exactly how privatization is inexorably destined to work in a proper unfettered free marketplace - if not quite how it is intended - it might just be a merc army of fascists fighting to take over a fascist government, which is also their CLIENT, because it is a dumb fucking kakistocracy 100% populated by linear-thinking self-dealing cretins that fuck everything up ALL the time because they've winnowed out all mildly smart and not-completely-corrupt people for being insufficiently servile to the overlord.

     @GrimmReality Reminds me of the time a small dodgy bunch of fascist poms were able to take over India because it was so corrupt and fragmented.

     @GrimmReality That's part of what I've been thinking about myself. Like... this is *terrifying,* even if it's momentarily good for Ukraine for distracting *both* Putin and the Wagners - nothing like your enemies fighting each other - but a nuclear-armed fascist regime pulling itself apart at the seams over how it performs fascism... eeeeeek!
