Why do so many right-leaning centrists feel like political grifters to me?

[WilliamStormsReturn]

I'm saying this as an antiglobalist libertarian who hates the left as much as you do

WHY DO YOU GUYS CUCK TO EXTREME CAPITALISM?

WHY DO YOU GUYS AGREE WITH EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS?

WHY DO YOU PRETEND LIKE CONSERVATIVES ARE BALANCED, CENTRIST, LIBERTARIAN PERFECT?

Libertarians aren't even perfect...

Libertarians aren't innocent either. I'm a distributist one who hates capitalist libertarianism

As a hardcore leftist is this not what capitalism does as an intentional function? Just turn people into bridge trolls fighting for scraps for everyday people. If you're lucky to be born rich your born with a dragon hoard and is only valuable if you grow it more 7% to 14% year over year at a minimum.

"The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt—your capital."

"Libertarians aren't even perfect?" Well there's the understatement of the day. Libertarians are looney tunes who live in a fantasy world. They are quite possibly dumber than the MAGA crowd. That's why 1-3% of registered voters check the Libertarian box. And only about 7-11% are thought to have Libertarian values. It's not because Libertarians are uncommonly smart. It's because they are hilariously stupid. Anarchy is not a viable form of government. The gold standard is not a viable foundation for a currency in the 21st century. And a barter economy like it's the year 1213 has been out of date for a while.

The dunbar number is a good idea to explain why libertarianism isn't viable but romanticize.

It basically says people have a hard limit of personal relationships around 150 people. If we could all live in a village of 150 ish people and barter it would work out pretty well.

Problem is a group of villages would get together and pay a tax to each other and would pilliage smaller villages. I do prefer this democracy over other government types.

Now we graduated from village warfare into global class warfare. From their space. It's never going to be easier but hope some level of scale will help.

I do nto agree with all of Trump's policies but his policies are making my life better.

Seems more common on the left. Or it might just be brain damage

Because it works. It has defeated both communism and socialism without firing a shot
