Hate to say it. Hate to say it. This guy is a lolbertarian. He wrote an entire book about how the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is very bad.
He loves to troll and be retarded though (even by lolbertarian standards). I think here he means: you're engaging in worse anti-meritocracy than DEI, so compared to you, DEI is more meritocratic.
Hell hath no fury like a lolbertarian having his open borders threatened.
FUCK! As a libertarian...I hate libertarians!
No but, jokes aside, it is pretty frustrating. I think Dave Smith nails it on the issue, and explains it the best; there is a libertarian argument for not letting your country get overrun by a bunch of foreigners who just want free shit, and will end up ruining the country.
One of the core concepts of libertarianism is property rights. If we're going to have a country at all, that country is, to some extent, the property of the people who live there, and who fund it. Same goes for cities and "public property." No, the parks don't belong to the homeless, they belong to the law-abiding citizens who don't make things worse for everyone else.
Just like a libertarian would argue, rightly, that no one can force them to take anyone else into their house, you can make the same argument for the country and borders. Way too many "libertarians" miss that, and are just for globalist trade, which does not produce liberty.
Which it was. Shame he seems to have gotten lost in the weeds and insists on being a retard on the nationalism question.
America is not just an economic zone! This message goes out to everyone; liberals, neocons, libertarians, and all the rest. We're an existing country, nation, and people. That has to be protected. Everything else is framing.
I'd go a bit further than say that if your political ideology does not allow for opposing your country being overrun by foreigners, or your streets with druggies, then there is something fundamentally wrong with your political ideology. Going out on a limb, I know.
Eeeeh... I can't say I find it terribly convincing, but I'm glad that you believe that rather than "well, if my ideology is inconsistent with Basic Common Sense, I guess basic common sense has to go".
As you rightly point out, a country is more than an economic zone. A home is more than a house, and a country is more than 'property' where you are an infinitesimal shareholder.
Sallust rightly said that most people don't want liberty, but rather mild masters (slightly paraphrased).
That's the sad part; it clearly, clearly does. A bunch of "libertarians" are just the remnants of hippy leftists, who bought into all the anti-white, anti-West nonsense, but are less hateful about it than the leftists and progressives.
For the record, although I align with libertarians on a lot, it doesn't mean I think it's the perfect answer or anything; it's clearly not. Ideology should not supersede pragmatism, and a bunch of libertarians are either acting in bad faith, or get lost in the weeds. Doesn't help that libertarians are often super autistic, either. Like you said, if your movement/ideology/whatever can't protect your own country or people, there's really no point.
Again, just because I identify with and sometimes as "libertarian," doesn't mean I subscribe to everything. And, you always have to take into account that many ideologies are somewhat diverse, and you get infighting. There are "libertarians" who are leftists, some who are more centrist, and then the more pragmatic libertarians who, although they often wouldn't like the comparison, align much more closely with the right.
Basically, I'm not going to let retarded leftists ruin yet another thing. I'm libertarian-leaning, but staunchly opposed to open borders, mass migration, anarcho-tyranny, and all the rest. I don't view those people as libertarian (true communism has never been tried, no true Scotsman, etc., I know, but still.) A bunch of libertarians are just leftists or hippies wearing a skinsuit. That ain't me, obviously.
I want a system that protects liberty, and acknowledge that that does need to operate the lever of power, and even perhaps be somewhat authoritarian, in response to the current climate. You can't protect liberty by being soft, when society is overrun by a bunch of authoritarian commies who hold a bunch of power.
Anti-white is stupid, but frankly, a lot of the critiques of the so called 'West' are valid. The West has been making a total mess of things of many other places. People get it exactly wrong. They feign shame for the West's history and defend the West's present, while they should be ashamed of the West's present and be proud of the West's history.
You can make any ideology work if you're not autistic about it. Hell, I don't even have an ideology.
I think 'no true Scotsman' works well for ideologies. Scotsman is pretty open and closed. But the definition of libertarianism, or communsim for that matter, is and can be contested. Hell, after WW2, most Germans thought that national socialism was a good idea badly executed. Hitler and the Nazis had some good ideas that appealed to a lot of people - like transcending all minor German identities (like Bavarian or Hessian) and transcending class identities.
I don’t think Richard Hanania has real beliefs. I think he’s a clout-chasing mentally ill freak who is cozying up to sections of the left after he failed to get traction on the right.
The local short bus brigade are just trying to make a narrative from this nobody because he is Jewish. Pay no mind to it.
He's an Arab Palestinian, but of course, you're a transparent troll who believes nothing he says.
