Libertarians where too focused on Right Authoritarians we got flanked by Left Authoritarians and never saw it coming,
the problem now is too many liberty minded people are see the Right Authoritarians as allies to the cause of liberty making the same mistake as the 90's when we allied with left authoritarians to put down the right.

- cloutchaser 5y agoThe left authoritarians control almost all of culture. Movies, academia, tech. We're a long way from the right authoritarians to regain any sort of power. I do agree on your broad point though. There shouldn't allegiances with extremists of any kind.
- syshum 5y agoNow, that was not always the case. Hollywood was changing in the 90's but it was very mixed then, more balanced. that was a time where Congress was holding hearings on Violence in Video Games, and wanting to ban pornography and other things like that. Academia was similar, left for sure, but libertarian left The Right was very much the authoritarian "side" of politics in the 90, started to change in 00's. then in 2016 Trump drove the Left right into Full blown totalitarian frenzy
