  • Modern “libertarianism” has been fully corrupted by both corporations (to mean “liberty from any and all government regulations”) and by the racist shithole fascists (to mean “my liberty to commit hate crimes and no liberty for everyone else”). It sucks because I mostly agree with the tagline, but people like Friedman are far too altruistic about how well corporations (and other individuals) can operate without some level of government oversight to keep them actually accountable to the individuals that libertarianism is supposed to uphold.

    Yeah, im sure they exist. But the “ree antisemitism!!1” thing has been the most common reflexive defense I’ve seen any time the topic comes up, where any valid criticism of “hey maybe Israel doesn’t need to be flattening the entirety of Gaza and starving an entire race to death” is dismissed as “Oh you hate jews”. The US government, colleges, and cities trying to shut down protests have also branded it as such, when it’s really not.
