I'm confused by some of you guys: Is Luciom a Libertarian or a Nazi-Fascist? I'm getting conflicting opinions on this.
Libertarianism for Luciom and his ilk, Fascism for others especially immigrants.
It isn't fascism to send people a country doesn't want inside its borders away. It's what the totality of countries without open borders did (or worse: often they enslaved or killed them) for the totality of human history.
why wouldnt the 4th Reich have manifestos from its predecessor?
They're not banned from teaching the book, try again.

Who says the country doesnt want them?

I think it's one of those feels vs reals things 😀
I think banning teachers from teaching a particular book counts as a ban.
If you only consider making something impossible to buy / rest to be a ban, then pretty much nothing is banned in the US.
sigh
Could be, but that is not the way Gorgonian described it.
He said it "wasn't allowed to be part of the curriculum". The word 'allowed' seems to say that individual teachers were no longer allowed to teach it.
You could just look it up. It was removed from the required curriculum if that helps.
In other news, 31% of democrats , purportedly the "party of science", don't believe sex is genetically determined. 9% don't believe eye color is genetically determined.
And this is "the most", so to answer yes you just need to believe genes are more important than the environment and personal choices for that, you don't need 100% genetic influence to answes genes.
In other news, 31% of democrats , purportedly the "party of science", don't believe sex is genetically determined. 9% don't believe eye color is genetically determined.
Republicans don't come out that much better, since only 79% know that sex is genetically determined, while 89% think that 'gender' ( a cultural and grammatical term, not a scientific one) is. Then again the inclusion of 'gender' was deliberately stupid and confusing.
Still, even US Republicans in trailer parks are probably not as dumb as British Labour MP Dawn Butler, who claimed on live TV that 'Babies are born without a sex.' (I don't think she has children, which is just as well, but that's no excuse.) She went on to claim that '90% of giraffes are gay,' which, obviously, isn't true either.

I only lived in a trailer park for about six months.
removing a privilege isn't a punishment. A punishment is depriving you of your property or freedom. There is no freedom to live in the USA for non american citizens, it's a privilege that can be suspended at any time, for any reason the USA decide to apply to that, and it's not a punishment if that happens.Same as it is not a punishment not to qualify for any subsidy, it's a pr

Due Process Rights:
The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution guarantee due process of law. This means that legal residents facing deportation have the right to notice, a hearing, and an opportunity to be heard before being deported.
And being deported because a resident uses his legal right to use free speech doesn’t cause concern to you ?
A libertarian lol …
this is the mood on some parts of twitter i read (technocratic neolibs in this case)
Please no more of your visual doodles. It’s bad enough seeing your mental doodles.

Not sure why you are confused. There's a long history of libertarians defending the confederacy and such strong states rights that it's indistinguishable from fascism.

There are few things more antithetical to Libertarianism than Jim Crow and slavery.
That said, if someone is a 'libertarian' only with respect to the federal government, I can see your point.
the confederacy, which ceased to exist 18 years before Mussolini was born, being considered fascist (????) is why no one outside of your circle jerk of radical leftist intellectuals respects you guys about political topics.
btw fascism is ultra nationalist and against any right to secede, literally the polar opposite of the confederacy and states rights

in American if the federal gvmnt ceases to have any relevant domestic power in day to day life, libertarianism would win nationwide.
some localities would keep being statist a lot for a while but when you lose most rich people and most companies to low regulation low taxes neighbors, and you are flooded by parasites because there is 0 welfare in nearby areas (actual 0, starve-to-death-if-poor 0), you are forced to change.
that is why it's irrelavant to fight for libertarian values at the state level, it's an automatic corollary of achieving them at the federal level. and worst case you ****ing move and you are done, which is something you can't do if the federal government is anti libertarian.

I'll have you chained to a wall and signed up for a voluntary lifetime 'contract' way before the drugs wear off and you're even sober enough to say the word libertarian.
Let's do it cupcake 😀
Luciom essentially writes libertarian fan fiction… economic fantasy, dehumanizing rhetoric, and political naïveté

Funny, libertarians always argue that you don’t need welfare because charities would take care of the poor.
Also while it’s certainly possible, I don’t think it’s very probable that libertarianism would win out. After all many states that are currently red wouldn’t choose libertarianism, they would choose theocracy. And those that retain a welfare state can simply attach a residency for x number of years requirement as some programs already have (such as reduced in-state tuition for public collegiate system).
It would be pretty dumb to set up a hypothetical where the red states do exactly what you want and the blue states are too stupid to keep their social programs solvent.
Also you treat the US as if every state exists with the same amount of livability. That’s just not the case at all.
Still, even US Republicans in trailer parks are probably not as dumb as British Labour MP Dawn Butler,
Circa 2025 and beyond they are probably some of the smartest people right now.
When most of a person's jolly can be had from a small metal device in their hand, it would behoove them to not reduce maintenance and expenses to improve quality of life or square footage. It also give them more opportunity in almost every other way that actually matters.
