What is your alternative to abortion?

[Tiberius]

The labor camps? To be honest, that's one thing I wouldn't be surprised to hear coming out of the Libertarian camp. That caused less of a raised eyebrow.

Seriously? I'm disappointed summer. I thought you knew better than to confuse Libertarians with neo-cons and fascists. Please don't become like Minimalist. Next thing you know, you'll be calling me a republicolibertarianazi, or some other absurdity.

I never throw the term "nazi" around inappropriately, and you know that. It's either entirely in fun, or it's entirely factually deserved.

[Tiberius]

I never thought you would associate the idea of forced labor camps with ideas "coming out of the Libertarian camp" either, so I'm not sure what to think. Honestly, weren't you one of the people who rallied against reverendjeremiah when he insisted that all Libertarians wanted to do was "make everyone their slaves"?

Please tell me your comment was a joke (despite the "to be honest").

[The Grand Nudger]

We have different kinds of libertarians, round these parts Tibs - that much is probably obvious to you by now.

[thesummerqueen]

It wasn't, and that's because despite your insistence that "Libertarians aren't that way" I maintain that what has become the Libertarian base in America is fucking nuts.

I rallied against RevJ because despite disagreeing with Libertarian values, I thought he was becoming a basket case and taking his frustrations at the poor economic situation going on here in America as well as problems with his homelife out on you solely because he vehemently disagreed with you. He tried to make you out like a spider waiting in the dark to take people down, and was one of the voices raising dissent in the forum as if you had any power in the government or in his life. It was patently ridiculous and I was sad that two otherwise intelligent men were arguing over nothing, and that a formerly intelligent and good-humored man was turning into a foaming-at-the-mouth maniac over a man half his age because he had nowhere else to direct his internal rage. Don't mistake my defense as a defense of Libertarianism. I defended you because I consider you a friend and because (friend or not) I knew you were worth more than the bullshit he was slinging at you.

[Tiberius]

Ok, well then I'm glad you clarified that this was American Libertarianism you were talking about, and not Libertarianism in general.

That said, I can't find anything in the American Libertarian party manifesto concerning forced labor camps. Perhaps you could link me to a source?

Still fooling yourself that there is a difference, eh?


You need to get out of Britain more. Over here, Libertarians are cocksuckers like the Koch Brothers.

[Tiberius]

The American Libertarians I know aren't. I don't see anything in the Libertarian manifesto that is distinctly neo-con or fascist.

Have you considered that these people might be calling themselves Libertarians despite not actually being Libertarians? I mean, come on, Glenn Beck calls himself a Libertarian, yet he panders to the extreme right-wing of the Republican party.

Forced marriage? Are you fucking kidding me?

And forced sterilization "for being poor?"

Tib. For fuck's sake.

Obvious humor is obvious. Serious Summer is serial

Yeah, apparently he hit me when my trollololol-meter was lowest. Then again, I am at work. Poe's abound here.
