Don't care if you comment.
Just letting you know that idgaf what you think.
As if I'd actually entertain taking random white folks' directions as to how I should appropriate my concerns.
Shit's laughable.

To me the Libertarians are barely better than the Randians and the Randians are barely better than the Alt-Right.

In America the libertarians and randbots are one and the same with the sole single rule; "Fuck you, I got mine!"

Agreed. And the Alt-Right is that plus extra douchebaggery.

The fact Libertarians are not Left makes them only nominally pro-liberty and thereby a joke.

Disagree. Libertarians are in favour of liberal economics (free markets, no socialism etc) and so in a very real, if not in fact THE most important sense, they are accurately described as being liberal.

I used to be a card-carrying libertarian, and I still sympathize but their lizards are not perfect either. No lizards are. They don't have much effect on preventing the worst lizards from getting elected, but if they're not in a swing state, their vote doesn't really matter, so they might as well go for symbolism or a protest vote like I did in 2016.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Democrats, republicans, and libertarians are all agreed on liberal economics defined as free markets and no socialism. They disagree only on the finer points of practice in that context. In that libertarians want to tear down protections against discrimination, they are not liberal in the only sense that differentiates between the three. Thus the paradox of libertarianism and an explanation for it's amusing history in american politics. Originally envisioned as a party of social liberals who prefered conservative economics - it became home to the dregs of white nationalists and republican electioneering schemes.
Goldwater dipped into that well and became the first republican to win in the deep south since reconstruction.
