Place for discussion from a Libertarian perspective, meaning less top-down control and more individual liberty. In general, the intent is discussion about issues and not a discussion on libertarianism itself or any of its branches.

You’re the only libertarian with enough synaptic capacity to sign up for a Lemmy account, the rest of your kind are still embarrassing their families and losing their jobs on Facebook.

Well, we are the few I guess. Hmm, sounds like Political retaliation to me.

No, I’m just convinced after dealing with a lot of libertarians in real life that you are all too dense to deal in reality. You scream “BIG GUBMENT” and enshrine the robber baron class. You whine about “MUH INCOME TAX” but never question why our taxes are spent on massive corporate subsidies and warfare instead of roads, schools and social welfare, and in fact want to privatize those programs so they can be further gutted by the robber baron class who’s boots you lick. You hate working class single mothers who need some assistance, and glorify the true welfare queens that absorb our tax dollars, like the billionaire class living a life tax exempt, the cops that abuse us regularly enough to warrant constant civil suit settlements on our dime.

Your political ideology belongs in the gutter of history, an embarrassing footnote in the book of ill fated political experiments of the right. Fuck libertarianism and fuck you.

Friend, you may want to look up what libertarianism actually is before shooting off your ill-informed mouth.

I'm here, and I'm the one that started this community. There were a few posts with some limited engagement, but I'm not interested in being the only one to post here or putting in the effort to attract people.

My intention was to give a libertarian perspective on current events to counter the socialist bent on the rest of the platform. That has gotten a little better (i.e. the tankies kinda keep to themselves more), so I've been less motivated to post.

But please post! I intend to post a lot more around election time. I'm about as lenient a mod as you'll get, and if anyone else is interested in moderating, make a few posts and respond to others and I'll consider adding more.

Because you're on an instance that just bans anyone who steps out of line with their leftist garbage

I’m still waiting to see if this is an actual libertarian community or if it’s “libertarian” in the current media sense (far-right ultra-conservatives, typically US Republicans).

I know one thing, I'm not part of the Uni-Party in anyway.

Some people just lurk without producing content, I guess. Also Lemmy will probably always be more fragmented than Reddit. There might be a lot more libertarian themed communities on other instances.
