A bit totalitarian, are we?

• dools 5y ago
  No, I'm just against libertarianism, because it's essentially feudalism. The very people purporting to be for "freedom" are actually pro slavery.

    Feudalism is about the localisation of military and legal aspects of government. Libertarianism is about trying to restrict the power of government. Slavery requires a strong central government to be enforcible. Feudalism and Libertarianism are both anti slavery.

    None of the people you have named are libertarian, to be fair. Also, for someone arguing a potential dystopia being brought about but these people, you sound like someone very willing to create your own, by arguing for silencing everyone you disagree with.

      It’s not a matter of silencing people I disagree with, it’s a matter of having integrity in publishing. Because the “we all have a right to free speech” argument has been distorted to mean that everyone should have what amounts to modern day prime time access even though they’re a bunch of liars and grifters and, in some case, just kind of stupid.

      Also they’re all libertarian, you and they might not realise it though. In the same way that many people don’t realise when they’re racist.
