I guess there are some real "Libtards" out there...
... It's just not who we thought it would be.
During the last couple of years, several people have take up the mantle of "Libertarian" but also tried to defend and cheer for actions taken by the MAGA-administration.
That this administration, is nothing more then authoritarian, stands out of question. But if you believe that you can still defend Trumps presidency, by pretending that everything is working like it always has... then you can also claim the label of Libertarian. You know... that political stance that:
Libertarianism has been broadly shaped by liberal ideas. Libertarians advocate the expansion of individual autonomy and political self-determination, emphasizing the principles of equality before the law and the protection of civil rights, including the rights to freedom of association, freedom of speech, freedom of thought and freedom of choice.They generally support individual liberty and oppose authority, state power, warfare, militarism and nationalism, but some libertarians diverge on the scope and nature of their opposition to existing economic and political systems.
GerOttman, was a "happy libertarian"... until he discovered that there were winy people on the internet. It stressed him out so much, that he got "driven into their evil clutches". Watch the word "evil" here... there was just no way out for him. He lost his individiual autonomy and political self-determination the moment he got faced by some memes and angry people... And those people drove him towards evil.
Where is the personal responsibility for once owns actions and choices? Well, they are waved away, because he had to deal with something annoying. At the end of the day GerOttman was so annoyed that he didn't have a personal choice left to make, other people made him do stuff. Evil stuff, apperently... poor guy.
But then, on a later day we get this:
In this post, people were asked to give their opinion on something that could qualify as governement overreach. Mainly because ICE is denying people their due process. This due-process thing, is caputered in the 14th amendment... which makes it a constitutional right:
Fourteenth Amendment
Section 1
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
As a "Happy Libertarian" he might want to look what the stance was on "equality for the law". But I guess when it comes to the non-white poppulation... equality needs to take a back seat. But hey... when your rights are trampled by the governement the "happy libertarian" will bring you "coffee and snacks".
And then in the second part which is a responds you can find in the same story. Well, individuality is out of the window too. Because individuals are treated as a collective by our "libertarian"... something he would never ever allow for himself is perfectly fine for other people.
But to give him some credit... he's sad. Yes GerOttman is really sad that it has to happen this way. It's not because he voted for this, no... he blames the consequences of the outcome of his personal vote, on other people. Because you can't have enough scapegoats when cognitive dissonance has become a lifestyle.
@newjaninev2 not me, Im a libertarian. Nazis and socialist and communists are all collectivists so we’re really on opposite ends of the spectrum.
I guess when it comes to deportartions... this man is an extreme collectivist. Because individuals that don't belong to group the xenophobe cowards away from, clearly don't have to get their individual day in court. They are punished as a collective.
Well... I'm not sure if this needs much more explanation.
But hey... what can you say? 🤷♂ The Libtards are out there...
