Like many other agitators, she was there in attempt to disrupt ICE from carrying out their actions. And what are these actions? Dealing with those who were committing fraud and should not be in this country.

And here is where we need to confront Libertarians about the bigger picture. What is their plan to deal with this fraud? Usually they are fine grandstanding about how they are against having welfare of any kind, but they have neither the will nor the capability to actually cut any welfare.

A perfect example of the issue I have with many Libertarians came up again with the Renee Good shooting. No surprise, many Libertarians were against the ICE agent shooting Good.

The thing about this situation is that like many other scenarios, Good being shot was not an event that happened in a vaccuum. There are many, many other factors that cannot be ignored. One of which is why she even had her car there in the first place.

@sickburnbro @beekeeper Depends on what you mean by "successful." No, you will not be doing gangbusters with investing or making multimillions with his advice. But you will be able to build wealth slowly if you follow his fundamentals.

If you are smart, you can tweak his advice and come out ahead (e.g. pay off highest interest debt first, not smallest numerical amounts as he prescribes). The thing is that many people are not smart, thus his advice is best for those types.

@Aether I don't see this take quite as braindead as "food comes from the store, not farms," but it is not much better. Rather he seems to think growing food is easy and anyone could do it. They only see the end result of an abundance of food but do not consider all the difficulties and complications that can happen during the process. Such arrogance can only come from a midwit.

@sickburnbro just because the TV does not say that ICE is operating in Texas and Florida does not mean they are not there. I doubt there is going to be any media coverage when Texas and Florida's state governments do not enable protesters to interfere with ICE operations.

@dictatordave @sickburnbro the purpose of Good's actions were attempting to stop ICE from operating, and everything said by leftists regarding this is in service to their ends. The question they ask is not "Is this true?" but rather "Will this assist in advancing my leftist cause?"

That is where the consistency in their actions lie. Not on the truth, but consistently looking for any means to advance their leftist goals.

Regarding every rationalization or excuse the left gives for their agitators to be allowed to do whatever they want without consequences, remember this: they do not truly believe their own rationalizations. They simply use them as a cover to get their goals pushed. Their goals of their retarded leftist ideology being enacted is their ultimate principle. Every other action you see that is inconsistent is just them attempting to get to that end goal.
