The one thing that makes sick to my stomach is that all around Europe there are criminals committing actual crimes and getting a slap on the wrist from heavily politicized judges. There have been rapists freed because "in their culture it's different" (these are documented facts: it happened in several countries, more than once... For example in the UK because an 18 y/o muslim raped a teenager after his religious teacher taught him that "women are worthless" the judge relaxed him). It's not about protecting the children. They actually love it when children and teenagers are sexually assaulted: that gives more fuel to put in place a totalitarian state, using the pretext of protecting the kids. It's the same everywhere. In France many crimes are committed by people Macron promised to deport: illegal migrants already caught for a crime. He said, before being elected, that he'd deport 100% of the illegal migrants committing crimes. Instead of that socialist judges are constantly releasing these dangerous criminals in the street. But the actual victims? And victims' families? Zero concern. None. And if a victim dares to fight back and should hurt the illegal migrants: then the whole power of the state falls upon him and he'll get an incredibly harsh sentence. The world is upside down: politicians do not get to have their communication monitored, victims are sent to jail if they dare to defend themselves. And why do they want to wage their war on encryption? To fight me. Because I hate the EU I live in and they want to silence me. And all those like me. The tyranny of the government is a very real thing and anyone longing for more government and more government spending should look deep down in his heart and conscience and wonder if it ever did any good for a country to have ever more government. Meanwhile people shall hate on the libertarians, calling them names ("ladder pullers"), but I'll tell you this... Libertarians would never ever vote complete and total surveillance of citizens, while protecting the politicians. But do not worry: the world you deserve for hating on libertarians is coming to you soon enough.

The world is exactly there as it ever was, power structures and power struggles. Two major differences to the past is that there is more people than ever, and that we currently have near-instant global communication. I'm with you on the "think of the children" argument. That is 100% what's happening, and I think that it boils down to how the human mind works, particularly on how putting out a fire feels much better than preventing the same fire. "Libertarian" means a lot of things, so it's hard to criticize, I especially struggle with the closing thought. Who are these libertarians that we should support, in order to have a better world?
