And here we see Rule 1 of LibertarianWhateverism in full play: Don't talk about LibertarianWhateverism. Don't explain how unregulated, privatized security forces will restrain themselves from harming innocent people or buying the best weapons they can. Don't get tricked into a discussion of how privatized Mexican cartel "dispute resolution organizations" walk around with RPGs and kill truckloads of civilians daily. Just talk about how governments screw up. Demonstrating that Libertarian fantasyland will be any better than gov't is NOT something you may talk about under Rule #1.

Strike a nerve? Let's ignore this real world example where libertarians are 100% no doubt in the right and lol about some theoretical fantasyland dorm room baloney. You're clearly a really serious thinker. Keep it up.

Bonus points for somehow trying to portray Mexican cartels, which are purely a result of non-libertarian government boondoggles, as some sort of strike against libertarianism. Chutzpah, you has it.

Ah, the standard "u mad?" response. Classic.

Libertarians: 100% right about not liking police violence.

Nice, except everybody on the planet is also against police violence. Man, there are even a handful of statists who oppose the war on drugs! There's nothing remotely Libertarian about the articles you've posted, but the notion of Rule #1 is so deeply ingrained that you think talking about police violence is some vindication of Libertarian fantasyland, since that's the closest we can ever come to talking about Libertarian fantasyland. Will there be less police violence when for-profit privatized police forces roam the streets?


Silly me for thinking unregulated, privatized security forces are in any way representative of what unregulated, privatized security forces will be like. As long as gov't boondoggles exist anywhere in the world, no failure of the private system can ever be attributed to the free market. We can't talk about Libertarian boondoggles until the whole world becomes government-free--which bookends nicely with Rule #1.

"So you're telling me government prohibition on drugs has turned the actual real world cops into a gang of unaccountable thugs?

LOLLIBERTARUANS"

Keep digging. You're almost there.

There's nothing libertarian about not having a war on drugs, not spying on your own citizens and lying about it to congress with no ramifications, nothing libertarian about not assassinating your own citizens without due process.

What does the word mean to you, exactly?

LMFAO at more of this Libertarian-type-ism branding.

ZOMG, I never realized it before... but only Libertarian-types are against Obama's drone wars, only Libertarian-types are against militarizing the police, only Libertarian-types are against the War on Drug Users, and only Libertarian-types are for simple plain honesty.

Of course, Libertarian-type dogma is uniquely 'rational', even 'objective', those on that drank say. Using the very foundation of Libertarian-type-ism, the Manichean 'Axiom', all non-Libertarian-types are lumped together as one (usually called 'statists') and must necessarily hold exactly opposite beliefs (usually in favor of 'growing' government only for the sake of 'growing' government). /QED



But wait... Mormons are also against Bad People Doing Bad Things. They're into Manichean 'thinking' too. On their drank... all non-Mormons are lumped together as one ('unbelievers') and must necessarily hold exactly opposite beliefs (they promote 'sin'). /QED

But wait, wait again... In fact, everyone is against Bad People Doing Bad Things. The only difference is most people, even when on some other kinda drank, don't have no stinking LOLtastical Manichean 'Axiom'... unlike our faith-based friends, both religious (Mormons) and secular (Libertarian-types).

And here's where the real LOLZ are found for the squeezing...

• We can examine the forty year old historical record of the IRL Astro-turf Libertarian-type 'Movement' industry/scam... say, in stopping wars.
  
  
• We can ask our Libertarian-types to identify exactly which real people, IRL, they imagine are actually for, and actively facilitating, Bad People doing Bad Things. Always a chuckle as they dissemble.
  
  
• Or we can ask them, as nicely as possible, to elaborate on what the distinguishing characteristics of this Libertarian-type-ism they prate on-and-on about might be. How would it be different than some ideal Morman society... how might it work, what is a way it could be organized, what possible ways might it be brought into being. And watch the Libertarian-types, well... basically do this...

LMFAO no... it doesn't 'strike a nerve'.

Libertarian-type-ism is historically tied to a particular era. Perhaps not coincidentally, an era when very conservative and predictable running offenses dominated what is now called FBS. Basically the 'No True Scotsman' is the 'student body right', and "Look, look what the 'statists' do !!!1!" is the 'student body left' of the Libertarian-type playbook.

Want to answer some real Q's...

Since Libertarian-types won't talk about their Libertarian-type-ism (see Rule#1), HTF are we supposed to learn how wonderful it is... if we can't even ask any theoretical questions about it? Is it more a matter of "faith"... like those ever elusive "good arguments for ACism" ??

Points for explaining, in some kinda theory, how DROs would be different than MX Drug Cartels. Bonus points for making sense.

ZOMG, now you're starting to get it.

There's absolutely nothing libertarian-type about those things... just like there's absolutely nothing Mormon, 'statist', or US Democratic about these things. With the significant exception of drug enforcement policy, these are things all good people agree on.

Here's the point.

Nobody wants to hear about how Libertarian-type-ism is exactly the same as everything else. We wanna talk about how it's different. And boy... is it different.

This is a TARP.

Tried reading some of this thread and I have no idea what's going. But I would say that I'm like half democrat half libertarian

Yes, LMFAO indeed. That's the whole purpose of this thread, you want to apply some sort of branding to the word.

Uh, dude. You want to LOL at ALL THINGS libertarian type. I never claimed "only" libertarians are in favor of these things. In fact, it's quite obviously the contrary, otherwise you WOULD be LOLing at the idea of drug legalization. But that is, regardless, a libertarian idea.

YES. That is EXACTLY the paradigm YOU YOURSELF set up with your ****ing ******ed OP. Sorry you just now figured out how ****ing stupid that was, but it was in fact your idea.

Uh, quite the contrarary. There are plenty of quite un-libertarian people out there who want to keep droning, keep prohibitioning, keep spying, keep restricting gay people, etc. Do you even live in the real world, bro?

• OK? Go ahead?
