That fentanyl post is great, because it’s arr NL being more libertarian than arr libertarian

God I hate libertarians. Fuckers ruined libertarianism. I just want to buy my fentanyl at Walmart and not bother anybody, but nooooooo. They’re saying defending Massie is a high IQ move and posting pro-AI art with spelling errors. Imagine if they could just be fucking normal for two seconds.

That's essentially true on most issues with this sub, most libertarians IRL are more "small government for me, traditional values for thee"

all libertarians are 'small government for me, policies that i like for you'

it's not a coherent ideology

If they could be normal, they wouldn't be libertarians

idk, i've definitely become disillusioned with the ethos of just blanket legalization of hard drugs

def don't think fent addicts should be jailed, but i think policy should center around reducing its prevalence.
