Families, not Markets, are the essence of society.

Corporations are just groups of ppl joined in some common cause, usually commercial.

I believe Political Speech discrimination bans are MORE important than anti-discrimination in race or gender.

No it isn't. Corporations are not property. Corporations are just groups of ppl joined in some common cause, usually commercial.

Economic compulsion is real, and it's the MOST common form of compulsion. Far, far more common today and historically that outright physical compulsion or even social pressure.

Finally, and this was the key jumping off point for me into popular conservativism: Families, not Markets, are the essence of society.

The problem I have always had with the "Libertarian" moniker. For a group of folks that doesn't want the government meddling in their own affairs. They are most opinionated group of people(Save for the outright radical Left), and have a litany of rules and druthers, they would impose on everyone else, in a New York instant.
They have no problem saying what everyone else ought to do.

Selfish and Contentious would best describe them.

Do you consider robbery economic compulsion?

Why is there no death penalty for corporations, for example?

And Google spies on everyone, but the government does nothing because they also get all that info from Google.

They also fail to realize in a nation where we make $15 an hour, we cannot compete with a nation where they make 50 cents an hour.

Do you consider robbery economic compulsion?

Do you consider being fired for an opinion you express outside of work economic compulsion? It's happening daily now. Even for opinions that the majority holds.

My problem with them:
"So what if people get hooked on Crack and refuse to get their mental illnesses treated? How can that in any way effect me? To each their own"

(Glass breaks, 7 Crackheads rush their home, steal all their weed, their stereo, their pistols, and break a bunch of shit in their house for fun. Libertarian is shot with his own gun as they run off.)

Libertarians tend to argue that we should never have tariffs completely ignoring that authoritarian foreign central banks can manipulate their currency and their workers rights to drive domestic businesses out of business.

They also fail to realize in a nation where we make $15 an hour, we cannot compete with a nation where they make 50 cents an hour.

And next thing you know, we dismantle every factory, run trillion dollar trade deficits, and send enough cash overseas for them to bribe our politicians with.

Any libertarian that argues we should be trading with China is completely delusional.

Plus no pollution laws.

It's every parent's worst nightmare: your kid comes out as a libertarian. Don't worry -- we can help you nip it in the bud. You should be closely involved in your teen's life to make sure he doesn't suddenly start believing in freedom and personal responsibility. Make sure to constantly check for these 9 warning signs:

1. You walk into his room late at night and he frantically tries to hide the video he's watching: Ron Paul's Liberty Report. - Caught red-handed.

2. He asks for his allowance in Bitcoin. - Dogecoin can also be a red flag.

3. He screams, "AM I BEING DETAINED!?" when you ask him to come downstairs for dinner. - Also during detention, when you make him go to the grocery store with you, and pretty much anytime anyone asks him to do anything.

4. You check under his mattress and sure enough, he's been hiding the worst thing imaginable: a copy of Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell. - Talk to your kids about Sowell before it's too late.

5. While his schoolmates are shooting each other in Call of Duty, he's plinking targets from 150 yards with his AR-15 - He's only interested in the real thing.

6. You catch him texting girls "Taxation is theft." - Always check your kids' electronic devices so you can be alerted to these telltale signs of libertarianism.

7. He plays Grand Theft Auto but spends the whole time ranting about police violence against him for flying a military helicopter around Los Santos. - "I thought this was AMERICA."

8. You get a call from school that he got thrown out of economics class again for arguing with his teacher about the unsustainability of the U.S. Dollar and the failure of Keynesian economics. - Trouble at school might mean he's been radicalized by the Austrian school of economics. Not good!

9. He has no friends. - This is perhaps the surest sign of all.

Do you consider robbery economic compulsion?

The problem there isn't the crackhead, it's home robbery, which we already have laws against. But practically, this scenario has nothing to do with being a libertarian, and everything to do with not properly training for home defense scenarios. Also, this would only happen in a city, which are all shit holes in my humble opinion. Libertarian or not, if you don't want crackhead home invasions(something we have now), don't live in a shit hole.

So, taxpayer obligated payments to Public K-12 can't have a democratic representative direct them away from CRT, or that's Authoritarianism.

This guy is the Treasurer of the Oklahoma Libertarian Party and part of the Von Mises Caucus, by the way.

That's because he's a poser that doesn't even understand his own supposed ideology.
