>Libertarians like to spout a bunch of pro capitalist crap at the expense of those less well off in the drive towards a free market, which has never and will never exist in a structured society w a large populous.
>American libertarianism is a joke and a lie manufactured and funded by the koch brothers

What do you think of that? I'm messaging an old friend who apparently went full commie/SJW. Have you lost any friends/family to the other side? Cross posting from /pol/ since I had no idea this board existed.

Libertarians believe in the power of free enterprise. They believe that the more government meddles through regulation of the economy, the more it suffers.

You read the green text and missed the black text.

I sometimes state obvious things.

I live in an area where there's a strong conservative republican presence, and the democrats and minorities are influenced by individualism, but there's not a strong libertarian presence. Haven't had much luck getting people to change their viewpoint in the first place yet.

I talk about it with friends/family, and they always admit that what I'm saying is most likely correct and that they don't have a response to it, if not simply outright agreeing with me, but they haven't really put the pieces together and had their "AHA" moment yet. People are too busy dealing with busywork, emotions, and piddly things to care about basic issues.

How did you find it?

dcf5bf No.94

>>85
I get that. At least they're willing to listen. It seems a lot of people I know are leaning more towards the far left these days. And as we know, that can be a dangerous place to be.
>How did you find it?
By actually looking and not being a dumbass who sticks to the usual.

Left or right, I always try to find the common ground first. Even with the ultra left, sometimes they do pick up on real issues. They usually respond well if I keep it focused on that and show them I'm not their enemy. After all, it's not like they know what they're doing. They're just confused as hell.

>By actually looking

Ah, cool. I've been browsing through too. Find anything good?

3f64ff No.96

Btw, if you're OP, is that picture from a Spiderman comic? One with Carnage? I vaguely remember it from somewhere…

It's Big Daddy from Kick-Ass.

The Big Daddy post isn't OP. There's another post above it.

>libertarianism is an evil plot financed by the Kock brothers and Wall St.

It sounds plausible until you wonder why, if this is true, the evil capitalists don't use their money to ensure that Ron Paul, Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party etc. win more elections and that actual libertarian policies are more popular. Instead, these same entities fund the statist Republicans and Democrats, who continue pushing for statist policies.

Someone once told me to never vote for who the establishment wants you to vote for.

You guys remember this?

libertarianism and social security systems arent mutually exclusive

they can even be governmental. that might not be the utopia some libertarians dream of, but it can viably exist nontheless.

free market doesnt mean we leave everyone behind. I dont even know one public libertarian thats against helping promising people

people are always thinking in extremes, black or white.

marxists however are always stupid. its obviously incorrect in the assumption that everyone deserves help, that everyone is equal. theres more obvious issues with it. this one is just one that means anz person mot realizing something that obvious isnt going anythwere as far relevant thoughts.

>but muh social justice

justice isnt even a thing

marxists gonna marx..
