I'm libertarian at the core, most conservatives are. But the Libertarian Party is a shitshow and there's a reason many people have abandoned it to vote Trump.
libertarians are just another kind of liberal. it's right there in their name.
you can promote liberties and free-trade within a nation, amongst a homogenous people that all stand behind the same national goals.
but you cannot be this way with the world. you must have a strong a powerful central authority to deal with the outside world and keep the barbarians from either overrunning your borders are infiltrating and subverting your government if it is some weak pussy libertarian minimum-government ready to be butchered like a pig.
keep the barbarians from either overrunning your borders
These fucking guys couldn't keep the commies from taking over their subreddit. They're not viable at all in the real world. (and this coming form a former lolbertarian.)
I went through a libertarian phase, and I grew out of it. You can only be beaten over the head with your own ideology so many times before figuring out that either you're ideologically consistent (and going to lose every time), or that your ideology is crap.
Strong central government, you mean like the kind that forces you to get injections for your safety, and protects you from enemies by giving your money to Ukraine and Israel? Yes, it's working well. Keep up the good work, comrade.
Edit: There are some salty bitches who hate the truth. Sorry faggots, but strong government will never be on your side.

Well no, you just responded with a bunch of things that were not on the OP's list of "legitimate functions of government," which everybody agrees are not legitimate, and have nothing to do with the fact that there are legitimate functions of government.
Were you one of the ones booing Trump over border security?
Shit in one hand, and wish for legitimate functions of government in the other. See which fills up faster.
Big government will always be corrupted by powerful interests and turned against you. Thinking you can control it is why we're now being milked as tax cattle.
You bleat about border control being a valid function of government, yet the government not only doesn't control the border, it's shipping people in AND taking your money and giving it to the invaders. Sounds like you're winning! Great job!
Do you support banning guns from Marxist, criminalizing Marxist thought and suppressing all Marxist politics?
If you don't, that means you're actively supporting the takeover of Marxism. Your principles are shit. Marxists will fucking kill you and this is why Libertarianism is the political version of how "pacifism" is just self-righteous cowards patting themselves on the back and pretending their weakness is a virtue.
Hans-Hermann Hoppe is clear enough with estoppel, where someone who is credibly incompatible with a community's ability to uphold morals is to be expelled.

To be fair, has anybody else successfully kept commies from taking over much of anything recently?
True.

Look, we get it's a catch-22 with foreign policy. Leave the vapid, dramatic, copy-paste tone out of it.
Forcing a vaccine on you is foreign policy?
It's vapid to realize that big government will always get corrupted by evil people?
No wonder this country is headed down the shitter. People like you.

Conservatives are fucking you over too. But keep thinking you can control big government.
