I'm generally pretty tired of "libertarians" and how above it all they act, when in reality 99% of the time they're going to go in and pull that lever for republicans because we're in a two party system.

ive seen some good ones on google image search, lets see what you got era.

This video never fails. These are the leaders of the "Libertarian" party. Anyone that tells you they are Libertarian probably has zero idea what it means and just want to be Republican without supporting Trump (or at least admitting it).

I'm interest in these. White libertarians in the US that side with conservatives have evolved not at all from their slave-owning ideological founders.

I wish I could find it again, but some Ancap made a 3D animation that was about what life would be like in ideal Ancap society, but the comments are mostly him replying to people angry and confused as to why they think it's satirical, because the video is basically an accidental parody.

no step on snek

In college a friend made a drawing of the Gadsden flag but the snake was a penis, a drawing of the Ben Franklin cut up snake as a penis, and a penis in the colors of the flag titled "Stand and Deliver". I wish I still had those pictures

Libertarian Reluctantly Calls Fire Department

CHEYENNE, WY—After attempting to contain a living-room blaze started by a cigarette, card-carrying Libertarian Trent Jacobs reluctantly called the Cheyenne Fire Department Monday. “Although the community would do better to rely on an efficient, free-market fire-fighting service, the fact is that...

Not a meme, but my favorite quote that always immediately pops up in my head when libertarianism is brought up is 'I have always found it quaint and rather touching that there is a movement in the US that thinks Americans are not yet selfish enough.'

This is still the funniest shit. I'm also a fan of this piece of brilliance.

Yes.

I think Murray Rothbard believed the government shouldn't be allowed to force parents to feed, clothe and care for their children. They should be allowed to sell them to create a "flourishing free market in children and babies" which will somehow virtually eliminate child neglect.

Yikes! I don't know much about the ideology, wasn't aware that was a thing.

Wow. From my limited experience with libertarians it definitely seems like it attracts people with average intelligence who for whatever reason think that they're brilliant. See Colin Moriarty for a fantastic example.

Always loved this quote:

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

As a former libertarian who was drinking the kool aid in my late teens and early 20s, I could definitely see the appeal. As I grew older I started to realize that the world just isn't that simple. Unfortunately, many people don't move past that viewpoint.

Edit — Case in point: I live with my 56-year-old libertarian uncle and he thinks racism is over, the "social contract" between the working class and the wealthy is foolish fantasy, and democracy inevitably devolves into mob rule that violates individual rights.

Edit edit — I should also clarify that actually, he lives with me, as he has earned minimum wage his entire life. But in his mind, that's his own fault for not bootstrapping hard enough.

The party's co-chair wrote an article questioning age of consent laws. Basically if you're a libertarian, aside from being an unempathetic, social-Darwinist shit lord...you're also endorsing pedophilia

But endorsing pedophilia is ok /s

The children will just complain that the pedophile violated the non-aggression principle and everything will work itself out.
They can also hire protection on the free market to keep them safe.

It's pretty astounding that I have no idea what a libertarian is still. Every time I try and get an answer like in this thread it seems to be this utterly bizarre mismatch of political ideas and 'middle ground' arguments that are the worst kind of middle ground arguments

They are just Republicans who wish they were anarchists while simultaneously using the term anarchists as a direct insult.

Basically, incredibly stupid individuals.

libertarians believe government shouldn't control anything, taxation is theft. All of this falls apart like when their house catches on fire.

its not based in any kind of reality.

The simplest definition is that their idea of freedom is the only thing they care about. Libertarians are single-issue voters, the issue being that the government should under no circumstances prevent anyone from doing anything they don't want to.

This sometimes overlaps with more mainstream ideas. Libertarians believe that recreational drugs should be legal, for example. But many take the idea to a ludicrous extreme, like with the pedophilia, doing away with driver's licenses, and other ridiculous stuff on display in the thread. Even in the drug example libertarians take things to an unnecessary extreme. "Republicans who smoke weed" is the common joke about libertarians' beliefs, but a 'true' libertarian would tell you that heroin and crack should also be completely legal.
