Why I am (or at least try to be) a libertarian : Comments

By Steven Schwartz, published 24/12/2024

In a world driven by fear, division, and creeping authoritarianism, libertarianism offers a belief in the dignity of the individual, voluntary cooperation and the power of accountability.

Thanks Diver Dan and Armchair Critic.

The Treaty Of Westphalia is interesting it seemed to be a multidimensional conflict with Catholicism/ Protestantism and Naval Power on the different dimensions.

Armchair Critic- You're given a lot of information. I'll try to offer a perspective. Remember the picture of the young and old woman.

Well CM, old Alex opined away to his son back in 1648 about the lack of integrity of the political movers of the time, who prevaricated through thirty years of bloody war amounting to the loss of eight million lives; there is nothing new under the sun says the wise Bible.

So is Libertarianism a solution to a political problem of integrity?
There are definite paths to riches for those of us floundering around on the ground and underneath the weight of political corruption and self interest of politicians; the most obvious path, is to follow their lead to riches by cheating, lying and dealing in the most corrupt and underhanded way possible, to increase our disproportionate share of the dwindling pie: That’s the negative view, and seems to me from my experience in business dealings through life, the wide wide road to destruction, the same wise Bible warns the mortals against; the lazy options!

We are in the midst of a massive con-game. The modus operandi of the divorced from the crowd, movers and groovers of those we recognise as elite and all powerful, inclusive of political leaders and their maintenance crew of courtiers, AKA bureaucracy, is to maintain the high ground of the PR pitch; the broadcasters of myth trumpeted out 24/7 the ABC perform their subtle capture of the weak minded, and turn them away from clear thinkers of our time, who harbour dreams of an inclusive society.

Here is some material I've found on your links Armchair Critic...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Foo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boys%27_love

"While the term shōnen-ai historically connoted ephebophilia or pederasty, beginning in the 1970s it was used to describe a new genre of shōjo manga (girls' manga) featuring romance between bishōnen (lit. "beautiful boys"), a term for androgynous or effeminate male characters."

Looking at Sean Foo's room in the video may indicate something about his belief's in relation to the above information.

It is important to be careful of jumping to conclusions here. And often subtleties in peoples way of thinking may be difficult to decypher.

Woke Marxist's seem to be more patient with pederasty than some, perhaps because of it's destructive nihilistic effect on Anglo society, and it's overall goal of blank slatism 'tabula rasa' burn and rebuild (Trotsky seems to believe in 'burn and burn again forever').

Thanks Diver Dan for your reply... I might need to think some more... but see below as a start...

(DD) Q- So is Libertarianism a solution to a political problem of integrity?

A- I think it's more about business skills/ money/ resources always being critical for every project mutually exclusive of integrity. I suspect you are implying that there is a culture problem with Libertarianism, caused by an over focus on profit, that compromises integrity and trust, in that I think you are correct. Remember that trust and integrity could be different things.

Gustav Le Bon wrote a paper called The Crowd- paraphrasing "wealthy people don't rely on stability or government but on opportunity and themselves" "Working people vote for stability through politicians but end up being enslaved over and over again". It's an interesting and perhaps uncomfortable observation.

(DD) Comment- con-game of the divorced from the crowd, elite, inclusive of political leaders and their bureaucracy, is to maintain the high ground of the PR pitch; the broadcasters of myth, the ABC perform capture of the weak minded, and turn them away from clear thinkers of our time

A- Yes, bait and switch.

(DD) Comment- clear thinkers of our time, who harbour dreams of an inclusive society

A- There are different ideas about what "fair society" means, so it's important to be careful how you define your terms. Inclusive seems to often be used as a Woke/ Marxist weasel word- and is part of DEI/ DIE and ESG corporate policy that has infiltrated our companies and institutions. I suspect it will be necessary to go after the propagandist's of these anti-existence ideologies. Some talk about equality of opportunity rather than equality of outcome. I believe that loyalty to the civilization is a multigenerational phenomena, that needs a much more multigenerational approach. Families can climb the ladder of society when they are loyal, but it will take generations. Some consider this as a form of group punishment that should be decried. There are issues with this approach that need to be factored into a stable civilization.
