Thread is to discuss libertarian politics, be it left wing or right wing. Try to be nice to each other and don't violate any NAPs!

DON'T TREAD ONE ME
Just got back from a 20 hour shift at my $3 an hour job working as a targeted advertisement data sifter at Google-Viacom-Netflix-Comcast-Nestle-Disney-Amazon Inc, and after a lovely drive through 45 toll roads which are full of potholes because Walmart siphoned the money into their CEO's christmas bonus, I'm just happy that I can sit down with my prebuilt proprietary Macbook and browse my Centurylink-approved Platinum Package internet bundle.
don't read on me

this is still prolly one of my favorite pieces of libertarian literature:
I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.
“Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled.
Oh no. Now that we're having an earthquake have to call the police department and I'm already in 23.52 bitcoins of debt. Someone else is gonna have to do it.
if we point our recreational mcnukes at it it might go away when it realizes it's violating our nap
What the fuck is even going on anymore.
i unironically tried to make a good thread but @Thelurker1234 's zinger was legit too good so idk
I'm jealous you are living the dream
@Griff I love you
Lets talk about the wonderful virtues of selfishness and money here!
huh?
Economic libertarianism can be summed up as "we don't like an accountable government having too much power, so we want to give unaccountable companies more power because f r e e d o m"
but i like helping other people
Does having Trauma Team insurance violate the NAP? Technically it's self-defense because they shot me first, so the medics can gun them and anyone else in the area down without issue, right?
medics are trained to secure the area. we will bill you for munitions expenses.
selling TOW missile launchers with 0% APR for the first three years, missiles sold separately via subscription plan.
For when your neighbor violates the NAP
They believe companies only have power now because they can influence the government which has granted itself power, and that if the government was powerless then companies wouldn't gain anything by influencing them.
Which is silly because that just means companies will be directly in power instead of buying politicians to be powerful.
Finally
home
get off my property
Alright, time to unfuck this mess. This along with a handful of other threads were left open because they *can* serve a legitimate purpose to discuss politics. Start using this thread for such. Anyone shit posting after this point gets a band.
Motherfucker that's my property! Gosh if only we had some form of overarching system that we pay a small pittance to settle these debates in a peaceful and rational manner.

so anyone in here ascribe to any certain form of libertarianism? personally i'm a georgist, to summarize it supports a single tax on land value and the elimination of all other taxation; land being all materials, forces and opportunities found in nature not made by man (i personally count reclaimed land as part of land tho)

So, fun fact, I wrote the words around that snake picture (by no means did I draw it), and every time I see it, I think, "this is the only lasting legacy I'll actually have."
