As a libertarian I find myself at odds with leftists and rightwing people all the times.The way they treat "dissidents" in the two groups isn't even remotely the same.I was able to argue in favor of first trimester abortion, of drug legalization, against tariffs, in favor of porn and sex work and gambling to be legal, against alcohol and cigarette excises and so on with rightwi

I'm not arguing that all other groups behave that way.

One of the ironies was just how tolerant 2+2 ownership were of a group that was so hateful towards them. One of the most absurd things ever was the whining when it wore out for a day.

What about going to unstuck? I honestly dont mean that as a derogatory comment. You will fit in beautifully there. I post there occasionally. This place isnt good for you if it is making you physically sick, especially when posting can be a bit of an addition and very time consuming.

Yes, I’ve suggested to him before that his natural home is UP.

I got permabanned from Unstuck for stating the obvious one time too many: "Unstuck is a safe space for disgruntled Lefties."

There’s almost no one there who that describes. There’s a big bunch of lib washouts though.

The article that said he was a registered republican in 2022? Lol the problem with your type is when you need to go full sandy hook and start saying that even the Post is lying or being mAniPuLTed bY lrftIsTs its not really any dumber than your baseline. Oh lol. You made up the whole motivation thing yourself. My favorite was you trying to bluff and say "you know I'm not o

It is probably just a classic case of doomscrolling social media.

Social media these is filled to the brim with bottom-feeding pundits from all over the political spectrum who pretty make a career out of monitoring breaking events and then flooding the feeds with politicized takes and conspiracies. What we also see more and more is brazen use of half truths combined with fabrication. It works particularly well during dramatic events, as these often put readers / viewers in an emotional state where they are less critical.

The conservative media eco-system during the Biden presidency managed to falsely portray the federal aid response during to a natural disaster as a conspiracy about the federal government being there to take people's land and bring in more immigrants. As a result, some people refused help and even threatened responders as result. Thus they risked their own lives, the lives of the responders and the lives of others (by complicating aid efforts). The Trump campaign and Trump himself also spread these conspiracies, which I guess is just one more example of how morally bankrupt modern day "conservatism" and its leadership has become.

When you can exploit social media to make people load their rifles and threaten responders trying to help them during a hurricane, making your readers believe in half-truths / fabrication about a political terrorist should not exactly pose a problem.

And the best part is that there is no price to pay. The media cycle moves so fast that the next shiny story will be there long before the curtain closes, and nobody will really care that you deceived them... most will likely never know.

As a libertarian blah blah blah

You are nobody’s idea of a libertarian, so stop with this nonsense


Dear leader's post from last night seems newsy:

Our Nation’s ICE Officers have shown incredible strength, determination, and courage as they facilitate a very important mission, the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History. Every day, the Brave Men and Women of ICE are subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians, but nothing will stop us from executing our mission, and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People. ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.

In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens. These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities — And they are doing a good job of it! There is something wrong with them. That is why they believe in Open Borders, Transgender for Everybody, and Men playing in Women’s Sports — And that is why I want ICE, Border Patrol, and our Great and Patriotic Law Enforcement Officers, to FOCUS on our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities, and those places where Sanctuary Cities play such a big role. You don’t hear about Sanctuary Cities in our Heartland!

I want our Brave ICE Officers to know that REAL Americans are cheering you on every day. The American People want our Cities, Schools, and Communities to be SAFE and FREE from Illegal Alien Crime, Conflict, and Chaos. That’s why I have directed my entire Administration to put every resource possible behind this effort, and reverse the tide of Mass Destruction Migration that has turned once Idyllic Towns into scenes of Third World Dystopia. Our Federal Government will continue to be focused on the REMIGRATION of Aliens to the places from where they came, and preventing the admission of ANYONE who undermines the domestic tranquility of the United States.

To ICE, FBI, DEA, ATF, the Patriots at Pentagon and the State Department, you have my unwavering support. Now go, GET THE JOB DONE! DJT

It's a lot of words. He plans to attack cities with ICE and the US military. Given his framing of the situation, like always he refuses to engage in dialogue about any issues. So the proposal to solve illegal immigration is to attack the inner cities. That's it.

It's been said a lot, but wouldn't it be easier just to run a few queries in the IRS DB and then fine everyone who employs people illegally? Has there been an EO yet to exempt "illegal" farm and service workers?

What's the difference between a "disgruntled Leftist" and a "Lib washout?"


Libs are capitalists who are socially liberal, and who only want to tinker with marginal tax rates, and even then only if they aren’t personally affected very much.

Okay. Thanks for the clarification.

It's for sure social media driven. I men it's not like anything here is unique or original research. Pre twitter these people would not have had the research skills to cherry pick out these facts to construct their narrative. Now every non college conservative is fed this stuff directly with no work. They can parrot really dumb sources then ignore all the evidence that the completely made up half baked nonsense that never was based on any evidence to begin with was wrong.

He cannot be rightwing definitionally. Rightwing people do not work for democrats this isn't 1995.

... although I would say that Trump losing the 2020 election was a much more obvious and important nucleation point than your banning.

Certainly. I worded that poorly before rushing off to bed, but I was banned just prior to the 2020 election and think I could've dispersed all sorts of their newfound energy after Trump lost in 2020.

Anyone who has ever had a puppy knows that if you don't provide a safe outlet for all that energy, it gets directed at your furniture, wood trim, and anything else even remotely destructible. I'm basically the peanut butter-filled Kong toy they never knew they needed.

Dude every single state in the country has these kinda boards etc that are filled with people from both parties. Stop being a frigging clueless clown.

I can certainly see why you'd object to the ICC - all your idols probably belong in the dock there.

Republicans who fantasize about being libertarian(which usually falls apart with the tiniest bit of prodding on issues) hate hearing it but the modern Ds are effectively(and accounting for absolute purity not ever being reality in politics) our libertarian party. Between the Ds/Rs it's practically a push fiscally--the giant chasm is on the social side of things and pretty much none of it lines up with the Rs' social conservatism.

The R’s are pretty much gutting all of our federal departments that have anything to do with regulation, destroying spending on science and universities, and cutting medicaid with medicare/ss on the horizon, but they are effectively the same?

I think the truth is most libertarians love the gutting and defunding of our government so much they will just accept that Republicans are against them on the social libertarianism stuff.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer crackhead.



This probably was already mentioned, I haven't checked recent posts, but they caught the suspect in the killing of a Minnesota leader of the Democratic Party and her husband and the attempted murder of another Democratic MN politician and his wife.

There was a hit list in his vehicle which was of Democratic politicians including US Senators in at least three states, and others linked to pro-choice activism.

Luciom already kindly informed us that the assassin was a democratic operative, yes. Why this violent radical leftist wanted to assassinate political figures on the left will forever remain a mystery. Perhaps they weren't left enough for him, yes, that must be it.

Police is very silent about the elements that might clarify the motives.

They said there were noking protest leaflets in the car, and that they found what could have been considered maybe a manifesto of his intentions as well, but after that they went radio silent.

You also typically don't start from letter H when going through a list that is alphabetically ordered.


Maybe the earlier targets weren’t in when he knocked?
