When did Libertarianism become cool?

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Didn’t know it became cool, or people were more for libertarianism. However, I am not surprised if more people decided to vote for the libertarian party or be apart of it. Both sides, republican and democrat, have gone too far - Neither sides are for the people, only against them.


Libertarianism became known and supported when people realized how awful the two parties were and how they only cared about themselves and money, nothing else. Authoritarian government only takes away people’s freedoms and rights, whether it’s left or right on the political spectrum.

[WilliamPamer446]

I think its cool to not be the main parties, but not in a basic b*tch rebellious "counter culture" stereotypical teenager way like communist or fascist or anarchist.

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Agreed. I stay out of politics mainly, but Libertarianism is quite versatile, there’s lib left, lib right, and lib center. These three political views all revolve around more freedom or lack of government involvement but there can be extremes in the Libertarian beliefs, too. That’s where it becomes just obnoxious and just as bad as the two left and right parties.

The communist belief is authoritarian left, facism is auth right, and anarchism is libertarian left. All of which are extremes. Libertarianism is far less extreme compared to anarchism.

Libertarian party itself is often seen as being in the center, fiscally right wing, and socially left wing. But the libertarian party is against the left and right parties as a whole.

When people realized the government wasn't there to help them, it was there to control them and make money off them. When they no longer wanted the government to tell them how to live their lives.

[WilliamPamer446]

And then Democrats made government oversight the only way to be

[Agape93]

And then Republicans stole women's rights to their bodily autonomy. Both parties are absolute shit

[WilliamPamer446]

I agree with you on the last part, but abortion is not "the womens body" its someone elses body. Women still have freedoms

[Agape93]

1. It is my body. It's literally my body.

2. NOBODY on earth has the right to use anybody else's body without their express and continued permission. So even as a different being, it has no rights over ours.

3. That's like saying prisoners have freedoms because they have the freedom to talk, have religions and such.

[WilliamPamer446]

Im sorry buddy I Dont wanna be rude or anything. I respect your opinion and your right to have it.

When the fertized egg, zygote, womb etc whatever becomes a sentient life form being is up for debate in a scientific sense. But if we believe in the spirit, and we should, why wouldn't the soul enter the body right away? There is already a scientific video I watched where God formed the life out of nothing, so that proved god was real and that life starts at conception. It didn't prove any specific religion perse,, but it did prove that life begins at conception. I use to be pro choice when I was 14,15,16, so I completely understand where you're coming from.

[Agape93]

You're good. But no,, science has not at all even acknowledged a deity of any kind. So that entire thing is moot, and even if not, my point still very much stands.

[WindAtMyBack]

They are basically Republicans who didn't like the direction the Republican Party was going. Politically they actually tend to be more hard core conservative than the average Republican. They tend to be liberal on social issues, but realistically that has little to do with politics. It's a huge talking point, but not much else.

It's all starting to get mixed up though. Various groups with various beliefs are hijacking these names and using them for their own purpose.

[gorydetails]

When people realized in 2020 how far government is wiling to go to control people.

[WilliamPamer446]

"Liberal" Democrat" Far Left Fake Woke fascist decided to push there agendas forward by making any opposition or disagreement look like a racist sexist fascist bigot ironically that fascist word and then they used to criticize the government and now they kiss the governemnts ass and call you a far left right wing crazy guy if you criticize the government at all

now we can't stand a chance unless we stop them

[Snsl153]

I don't think it's "cool" at all; it's just something that allows your typical 15 year old (the average age of most libertarians) to think that he's actually intelligent in embracing something like that.

[MysticDevice]

When we figured out that every election is the same as voting on what type of cancer you'd rather have.

[lauraanne02]

Nothing related to politics is cool, especially American politics. All Americans are dumb.

[Anonymous]

I'd say if really rose around the time of Obama. Around the time of the tea party.
Cool? I didn't know it was. Lol

[NamerOfStars]

When authoritarianism became popular.

[WilliamPamer446]

So libertarianism is an edgy and cool counterweight?

[NamerOfStars]

Pretty much.

[Smallboobsgotohell]

Since Bill Clinton fucked Monika Rewinski?

[WilliamPamer446]

But that was a democrat move

[RuthlessAggression]
