"Edit: There are some salty bitches who hate the truth. Sorry faggots, but ..."
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.
Look, we get it's a catch-22 with foreign policy. Leave the vapid, dramatic, copy-paste tone out of it.
Since my last post, and Trump's appearance being in the news, I did some casual research. These open-border fans are more prevalent than I wanted to admit. I have solidified that libertarians concerned with the real societies need to rebrand, ditching these cognitively dissonant jackrabbits.
I voted for Gary in 2016, and like many other small-govt. conservatives went over to Trump by 2020 upon his enacted domestic policy (reduced regulations) and improved foreign policy over the past 40 years. Without a Trump 2024, a societal environment where a libertarian revolution can happen, before national collapse, will be quashed. That is more important than a bump-stock ban or any other snags from his first term. It's beyond irritating that all parties have people that will vote to feel better about themselves, instead of putting non-trivial effort to making the best possible choice.
I was doing some thinking about how open-border libertarians were tunnel-visioned on the cons and risks of a government with strong borders. The contradiction highlighted in OP's title, between vaccine passports and open-borders, reminded me that these people aren't that deep.
The libertarian movement is heterogeneous. The retarded side gained in visibility among non-libertarians, the exception being the Ron Paul/Mises movement.
There was much cultural intermingling with retarded hippies over some social and political agreements (such as the draft). An Eternal September effect happened too, where those concerned with socioeconomic theory couldn't keep up with all the influx of dipshits that wanted only their taxes lower and to smoke weed. These dipshits had no immunity to woke contamination. Maybe someone alive during the cold war can correct me, but much of the hippie movement was the nucleus of modern America's woke culture, alongside broader cultural marxist phenomenon spanning the past century.
Looking past your quip, the right libertarian principles work in the right circumstances. See medieval Iceland (will source on request, Friedman's son has written on the subject). Or, the Wild West where the largest massacre (excluding govt sponsored campaigns against natives) was 3 wounded, 3 dead in a city that practiced gun control.
Hunter is getting upper tier service, no fucking way will he be permitted to contest for 2A in the court of law.
I'm an American, I have very little intuitive knowledge of Australia. But, my suspicion is that a substantial portion attending this B&S are literally the same suburbanite and urbanite ravers or bluegrass (insert comparable festival genre) attendees dressing up and driving 100 km to make the specific, subtlety pretentious tongue out photo pose that no one made 70 years ago.
People doing redneck vehicle shenanigans, wet T-shirt contests (when they don't have kids!), etc seems fun, despite my apprehensions of extroverted, ritualistic npc noise. I'm bashing the mass, generic festival aspect of what I see. In my imagination, a proper rural party is a private gathering of 100 adults engaging in no phones allowed revelry.
Edit: Woo girls. A bunch of woo girls and guys.
"People think it's feral because these are country kids in utes making noise, but people going to a doof doof festival and eating pills is socially acceptable. Everyone wants to be woke."
I don't get squeamish over rowdy victimless behavior, but to me the folks photographed are almost indistinguishable from obnoxious urbanite festival addicts. But, let them have their fun, without the machine having to nudge it's way in.
After Crysis pushed the graphics envelope forward in 2007, other aspects of artistic/design progress have plateaued. Or, at least those that excited enthusiasts, such as more sophisticated AI (non machine learning variety), more creative procedural generation, mechanical depth, emergent potential. Only control responsiveness and feedback has improved, and that ties to presentation and first impression. Because of Spolsky's Iceberg Principle, all the modern audience (excl. phones) want is presentation along with MBA spearheaded busy work.
A random YouTube positive AC: Mirage retrospective review's found the lack of mocap in cutscenes worse than janky parkour or other shortcomings! (I didn't play Mirage). I hate that the summer movie audience have eternal septembered the 80s/90s geeks. This is the audience partaking in the keeping up with the Jones/zeitgeist shit you described.
This is the continuation of Halo 2 (Xbox) ditching the community servers of Halo: CE (PC), and the last decade of PC games going the centralized matchmaking route. The mix of server policies and enforcement was so much more preferable to robots and low-paid third-world contractors enforcing who can't play an entire game, not to mention cohesive communities.
Mario and Zelda were fine on the switch. I'd rather the casual play that than call of FIFA madden crush saga. Ideally people would boycott Nintendo for their rabid enforcement of copyright, Sony/MS for corporate faggotry, and so on, but the normie battle has been lost for decades.
Disney always was largely junk-food edits of traditional myths and folklore. 5 generations of parents accustomed to mistaking instant gratification for good parenting. Not that the company never made anything worthwhile in its 100 years, but it's cumulative negative effect on American culture, direct and indirect[1], is unrecoverable without societal collapse. Bankruptcy is not enough for this demonic corporation.

- The postmodern shite on Cartoon Network/Nickelodean over the past 17 years being part of the blowback from 1950s-1980s artificial pop culture.
Knowing corporate censors, such exposure would jeopardize availability of verboten materials.
The most reoccurring issue reported in news here is retroactive censorship through patches. Both suck in this regard. GOG has offline installers, which facilitates data hoarding and piracy; still very inconvenient. Steam has per-game "beta" where a dev can offer rollbacks. Steam's DRM is at least easily cracked by warez groups, and notifies third party DRM. GOG is less bad because the same games won't have third-party DRM.
Sometimes a game is behind on patches with GOG. 95% of the time you want patches.
CDPR/GOG went woke/corporate over the past decade. Valve funds proton and open source/linux development. For now it is beholden to private investors. I only wish Valve had the disposable resources to overtake Linux desktop development from Red Hat/IBM. For this reason I buy games off Steam unless a select title warrants GOG.
I did not state or imply that, nor do I think that. Do you want me to think that to justify your disagreement?
What are you pigeon holing me for? I'm just stating that the adversary has infiltrated much of the hacker subculture as it has many others. The suggestion is to not underestimate the tenacity of bad forces, the risk of 1000 cuts.
Linux Foundation succumbed to the activist parasites years ago.
If you can't find something readily on pirate sites, go for it. Oft the most easily found ones opportunistically regurgitate current popular slop without any thought of acting as archival institutions.
Boycotting these predatory businesses (and lobbied-for copyright law) should be the norm for any healthy society and self-respecting subculture. This video is the strongest presentation of the topic I'm aware of.
The ending with singing Zulus is hokey, but the only problem is the stereotype warnings themselves. Also, cancel any and all legally sanctioned streaming services. It's not 2010 anymore, when Netflix was disrupting the dysfunctional state of Hollywood and cable TV.
Video was nowhere to be found on public youtube when I looked a year ago. Maybe Internet Archive or somewhere else has a better TV backlog.
All I remember of this guy is Xplay's Crysis review, where staff purposely glitched a drivable tank (tank level) for entertainment, and imposed that the whole game was that janky. I wonder where Anita's hitman footage got.inspiration from. How many of these legacy washouts aren't self-important lolcows?
Supposed to be independent. Native American nations don't have sovereignty, and have suffered under imposed socialistic policies over the past century.
McKinsey, always putting a rubber stamp on whatever corporate slop needs officiating. Intricately expensive means of procuring a circle-jerk.
Most "social media" (formulated brainrot) is a pale imitation of academics, industry professionals, and nerd side of pre-2008 internet. The OLPC project indeed showed that the noble-savage is largely a myth. I still think a walled-garden is suitable for a rural tribe that has to have electricity and telecommunications subsidized. Really, I have higher expectations for newcomers than formulated brainrot.
