Calling El Salvador libertarian has to be some kind of sick joke. They're run by a dictator who can throw anyone he doesn't like in jail at a moment's notice and is perfectly happy to do so. They'e cracked down on journalists and political opposition.

Their government is just a right wing version of Nicaragua's Ortega.

@freepatriot on the contrary, america itself has fought tooth and nail to destroy the bill of rights.

I’ve always found it suspicious and somewhat depressing that in 250 years the people of no other country had looked at the Bill of Rights said, “We should have that too” and fought for it.

The Czech Republic has something akin to the 2A.

Corruption can be a double-edged sword. It can work against you but it also often means officials turning a blind eye to all the ridiculous regulations, though sometimes for a "fee".

I've generally found developing countries to be very libertarian in the sense that you can live your life, how you want, nobody cares about your safety.

You can take whatever kind of risk you want. Want to build some ugly utilitarian building go for it. But there often is more corruption and the specific protections that we used to have against government intrusion don't exist.

Thinking that politics does not affect normal people in their normal lives is a GREAT DECEPTION.

I SEE THROUGH THE LIES YOU'RE TELLING
REJECT YOUR TRAITOR'S KISS
I WON'T BUY THE FEAR YOU'RE SELLING

USA and all other countries had strict covid lockdowns almost overnight so whatever freedom exists can vanish tomorrow anyway because no place on earth actually has a large population of libertarians anyway.

I don't think any state is more libertarian than Alaska. I could be wrong. But Alaska is also Alaska. Cold, dark, expensive.

Idaho fucking sucks. Its basically a blue line loving police state.
