Libertarianism is a peacetime ideology for a peace that will never exist. The culture war is eternal. Government is eternal. The moment you stop trying to dominate these institutions, someone else will seize them and ruthlessly wield them against you. Your only options are to rule or be ruled.
As a Christian i can’t believe everything I’ve seen in my 42 years. I remember as a young teen hearing my grandfather lamenting the state of the world and me thinking he was going overboard and didn’t take him as seriously as I should’ve
One of the worst things this modern society has done is convince the young that there is nothing worthwhile to gain from listening to the generations that came before them. They have been convinced to discard ideas simply because they are 'old' and from the past. Therefore, every subsequent generation has to learn that hard earned knowledge all over again at quite the cost.

Yep. Also a good Bob Dylan lyric from My Back Pages “I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now”.
