With them electing a non Mises candidate, I thought I would dig for their official stance on an issue that had a very socially engineered public discourse surrounding it. Ron Paul was right that don't ask don't tell was a fine policy. Our pre-boomer ancestors knew faggotry oft enough resulted in degenerate behavior outside the bedroom. This policy made the point to fuck who you want, but dont be a retard with no opsec, or a narcissist who puts oneself before your fellow servicemen. Also, don't engage in witch-hunts.
I utterly despise how the gay agenda was actually a thing, not the bugbear we made fun of . This goes beyond letting Peter Thiel and Dave Rubin sex up their husbands; even then I have mixed opinions on both of them I didn't have 6 years prior. The self-righteous, dogmatic language the lgb-t-map+ "community" embraces to force their preferences without responsible society's consent should be reason enough to fall back to early 20th century policy. Doesn't matter what the movement is, such tactics cause societal collapse, just waiting for the inevitable trigger.
Point is, right-wing libertarians really need to find a new label that also separates them from the soccer-moms for Bush/Trump. That the hippie LPUSA suffers from so much Gramscian damage that they would lend any lip service to what is substantially and morally bankrupt has invalidated the uniparty alternative. If for the simple reason that there is no right to serve in the military, only equal opportunity to all civilians.
If I were a right-wing libertarian I'd probably just call myself a Hoppean .
I remember reading a debate in Reason magazine around 2008 or so between (I think) the CEO of Maxwell Semiconductor and the CEO of Whole Foods regarding the role of business in shaping social policy. Maxwell CEO took the old-school "I don't give a shit about social policy; I just want to make money for shareholders" position, and the Whole Foods CEO took the position that it was desirable (and profitable) to use one's market position to "nudge" people toward desired social outcomes. That the Whole Foods CEO "won" the debate was unanimous among that crowd.
They've been leftists for awhile.
Fun fact I had someone in my casual social group call Hoppe a 'nazi' and I immediately knew 80% of their personality.
Had a similar thing happen to me except with Ayn Rand.
I’ve been meaning to read some Hoppe along with Rothbard. Haven’t read Reason in a long time. Doesn’t surprise me
Hoppe's really easy to get into since his book is just a collection of essays, many of which say much the same thing. Can probably get the gist of what he advocates by reading ~20 pages of his work.
