The reason the left had infuence for years was because the right was dominated by both tradcons and the corrupt dipshits who catered to them, effectively disenfranchising libertarian right leaning individuals, and unless those with culturally libertarian values can reassert themselves over these people including the tradcon leaning paleocons, legitimate opposition to the regressive left will die out.
While I agree we should ban and restrict media that's legitimately questionable, we need to take measures to preserve artistic and media freedom to stop the regressive left from poaching ideological allies and persuading them to join a terrorist ideology just so they can consume media that's merely offensive and not legitimately questionable, which fyi is a known lie regressive leftists are likely using to luer people.
Yes, I support soically conservative policies like restricting abortion and extramarital relations, but I just want apolitical media to be fully protected while persecuting regressive leftist bullshit.
As long as we give people a low barrier and wide access to weapons, preserve free speech, and not restrict media because it's offensive rather than legitimately questionable, we can do whatever the fuck we want to our enemies.
I am just trying to get my point across in an accurate manner that we can all agree upon.
Well, you're not OP, and OP is with his "cultural libertarianism".
So don't step between OP and me when you have nothing to contribute to the argument I'm raising. My beef is with his choice of words.
This is a public forum, dingus. I'll criticize who I please, especially when both of you are being ridiculous fighting over a word that represents a wholly unviable political philosophy.
Maybe so, but I'm not the one trying to twist the definition into "liberty but only to do the things I approve of".
Which is my grievance with OP to begin with.
Absolutely you are, you even said it above that you want it to be every kind of debauchery but not taxation or illegal immigration.
The difference here is that one of you, and it's not you, is at least TRYING to create a coherent, internally consistent belief system.
No, I said it IS.
I'm gonna spell this out for you again:
Libertarianism as an ideology gives ZERO FUCKS about the community. It is an ideology that is 100% focused on the individual's exercise of liberty, in accord with John Stuart Mill's harm principle:
"The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others."
-John Stuart Mill
The community is a non-entity. Mill only cares about harm against one individual by another individual, either through will or negligence. It is an ideology that inherently ACCEPTS the tragedy of the commons. The distributed, theoretical harm to many through the commons is NOT harm.
Abortion is a thorny issue in a Mill framework because harm could go both ways. But pretty much everything else social conservatives get irritated about (gay marriage particularly) is perfectly kosher under Mill's harm principle.
