Any activity of a state or individual is merely tolerated for the sake of future consensus making, but when more convenient the national government will curb stomp any state into compliance as if that state were a middle eastern country enriching uranium
- ROTMetro 5y agoThis! I too am having to come to terms with being a fellow libertarian cosplayer. It sucks. But at this point I am willing to give up dogma to try and make this country better because whatever is going on now is not working, and is not making things any more small L liberal, from either side of the isle.
- vmception 5y ago(I don’t subscribe to libertarian affiliation) I’m more of a consensus maker, ideas I suggest and the way I present them results in all-partisan support, including in the US. I think we overlap in the observation that disunity is unproductive. For me its been a great opening that entrenched special interests moved to far extremes of their parties and ideologies, opportunity of a lifetime since the center became unguarded. So I do have an uncommon view of what reality could be, but I’d rather not have that taken as libertarian. That assumption undermines my consensus making ability :)
