A leak of #Libertarian Party leadership communications reveals crude remarks – including a talking point from anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theories and discussions of the Colorado Libertarian Party’s collaboration with the GOP – and raises questions about the party’s adherence to Federal Election Commission rules.

Not sure how #libertarian he is if he wants to make the FRN legal tender and the American sources claim he admires Trump.

But probably better than what Argentina has had. @ftl @realcaseyrollins

People like Peter Thiel are #libertarian in the sense that they want the liberty to do whatever they want to you without censure or consequence.

Is NAS a commonly blocked / muted instance? Or do authoritarians and leftists on the fediverse just not like discussion/debate?

I seem to never get buy in when I want to be challenged on my ideas.

My first #Libertarian article on substack about how a libertarian world deserves and needs kindness, tolerance and forgiveness.

It would be better for the world for Russia to lose.

When aggression results in loss, it disincentivizes aggression.

Libertarians seek a world without aggression, where humans interact in exclusively consensual ways.

Aggression should be consigned to history.

After a decade and half working in the liberty movement, I feel confident about two things: that a strong #libertarian movement is critical to the nation's freedom and wellbeing, and that the libertarian movement's half-century long strategy of positioning itself within the conservative coalition—the "fusionist project"—was a grave mistake. https://www.aaronrosspowell.com/p/toward-a-healthier-libertarian-movement

I know the USA's #Libertarian Party has always been a right-wing project, and not particularly coherent, but seeing one of their candidates opening an interview by saying her number one issue is that the government isn't controlling what teachers do enough?

That... I mean, that's the direct opposite of a libertarian position.

I know I'll never understand New Hampshire politics, but this is weird however you look at it, right?

“There is no anti-democratic path to liberty. The majority will ultimately have its way, and the alternatives to getting it through democratic means are much worse. There’s no shortcut around persuasion. History is littered with examples of governments that tried to rule without free and fair elections and the result is only growing authoritarianism, a system of might makes right, and ultimately chaos protecting the rights of nobody.”

Kat Murti: “Throughout the book, [Bryan] Caplan never truly grapples with actual arguments made by modern feminists. Instead, he lists a set of grievances that at times reads more like an MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) or incel rant than an academic assessment.”

Opinion: 'The Libertarian Party Became Too Extreme for Me, So I Changed My Political Allegiance' Podcast by Jane Coaston w/ Justin Amash, h/t @enbrown
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/14/opinion/justin-amash-libertarianism.html?showTranscript=1 "I was a registered #Libertarian because I disagreed with how the 2 major parties viewed state power, as in I was very, very, very, very, very unhappy about #policing & the #justice system ..." That was what attracted me to the liberty movement too & is why I call myself a left-libertarian.
