@freepatriot that's kinda self-defeating and paradoxical. Every group needs leadership, a ship can't have hundred rudders or it won't go anywhere. Understanding this fact of reality, mature and sensible people will push to select the most capable leaders to get this thing going. But libertarians have an abstract and infantile relationship with reality, it's actually sad.

Trump’s approval rating is going to fall noticeably over the next couple of weeks.
Food inflation is completely out of control.
Household name companies are announcing that they are raising prices by +25% every other day.
Retailer price increases are front cover financial news every morning.
And these are all items that people buy weekly. So they will notice the price increases. It’s not like a car where you might not feel it if you hadn’t bought a car this year.

Libertarians think that they should give up defending freedom because Americans hate liberty, but Libertarians should keep resisting tyranny for selfish reasons.
While the elites control the money, government, and media, the 99% have the numbers.
One Libertarian may not be able to resist being sent to the concentration camps, but one million people might.

No one under 45 years old will ever know what freedom was and almost everyone under 55 will live to see the end of the USA.

It sucks finding out that everyone you know is a total fucking moron.

You know that the US is doomed when Americans look you in the eye and say they want to pay higher tariffs that will be used to fund more tyranny and wars.

Maybe the globalists are banning farms so that the elites have more space to build homes on, but maybe the real reason the ruling class is banning farms is to starve and kill off the 99%.
Living in a polluted environment might be a nightmare, but living in a police state isn't any fun, either.

More broadly, people need both a goal/meaning and stability/culture.
Traditionally libertarians deny these two.
Of course, the Left has false substitutes for both (symbols and government).

That was kind of Plato's point: once agreement on goal goes away, societies manipulate via money, and that induces resentment which leads to individualism which turns everyone into a user. At that point, civilization is impossible and degeneration takes over until hominid status is reached.
