You seemed to dodge the question if he's the most libertarian since Reagan, which he is. And it seems that Identity Politics are more important to you than libertarian ideals, am I correct? Here was my list of 8 libertarian things that Trump has done so far and I'm sure I'm missing a few:
-Wants to legalize weed
-Non-interventionist and wants us to pull our military out of moneysinks like Afganistan and won't attack unless provoked.
-Chopped down the size of the government workforce via attrition and hiring freezes and budget cuts. EDIT: Also wants to hold gov workers responsible by making them easier to fire and modify the current evaluation system
-Repealed the obamacare penalty mandate which forced people to pay for something they didn't want.
-Rejects climate change just like Gary Johnson (the libertarian nominee) did.
-Now officially
against the Federal Reserve and slamming them publicly.
-Opposes gun control (his DoJ allowed 3D Printed gun schematics) and most likely dealt it a fatal blow.
-Lifted excessive red tape that was hampering businesses to operate freely in the market.
Your outrage at Trump's climate change denial is noted, but did you support Gary Johnson? Because then you should be outraged at him too and outraged at the Libertarian Party if you're a Libertarian. Note Gary's stance on it - he rejects it as fact and said even if it is true, too much money is being spent on proving and/or preventing it that can be done to help other more important matters like the economy (which is virtually identical to Trump's position).
Regarding Moly, I'll watch it when I have more time (bookmarked it).
Regarding Charlottesville, pretty sure Trump condemned both sides, look it up. He didn't just condemn Antifa who brought the weapons and came to fight, he clearly said both sides were wrong since the nazi's provoked them to use said weapons.
Also, why would he condemn white nationalists when that's his voting base? That'd be like Obama condemning Black Lives Matter. Did Obama ever condemn BLM before his re-election year (2012)? Not to my knowledge.
Trump said there were "very fine people on both sides." Please name any of the "very fine people" who marched for white nationalism that day. Your selective memory is quite telling. Trump showed his hand by throwing a dog whistle to racism and a bone to racists. He gave equal validity to white nationalist and those who protest against racism.
You ignoring that is a form of racism. The sad part is, you're probably not even aware of it. You seem to honestly believe that white nationalists and people who protest against racism have equal validity or worse, that the white nationalists have more.
No. Trump far from libertarian. He's authoritarian. Picking a couple issues does not paint the whole picture. You're cherry picking examples.
Yes, he's destroying many parts of the government but not to free us. Because when you add in his authoritarian, dictatorial side, you see WHY he is tearing things apart. And it is not individual freedom, but autocracy. To consolidate his own power. To destroy any and all dissension.
Why would any libertarian tell people a free press is the "enemy of the people?"
Whoops.
No, I do not support big L libertarians. Why? Because I have a brain. Libertarianism (as the official philosophy/ideology stands today) and anarcho-capitalism fail because they ignore basic human nature. They imagine a utopia filled with people their own morals cannot even live up to. As readily evidenced with Moly.
I am a small L libertarian. In that I believe in the maximum individual liberty one can have, while protecting the rights and liberties of every other individual, and society as a whole.
Why in the actual fuck would ANYONE condemn BLM as a whole??? (Sure, some individuals had issues with how they handled things, but as a whole? NO.) And why in the actual fuck would you compare white nationalists with BLM?
BLM does not assume supremacy of their race. They only seek to survive and be treated with equality in a country in which blacks are systematically oppressed through unequal and unfair treatment by law enforcement, the justice system, and employment. Are they angry? You bet. You would be too. The problem is, you deny the racism exists and no matter how they protest, they are wrong.
White nationalists assume racial supremacy, seek to limit racial mixing and seek to maintain and increase the systemic racism that is pervasive in our society. You're a good example of that. You seek to maintain the status quo and refuse to recognize the racism that exists.
That I have to explain this to you exemplifies your own racism. That you would compare a protest group seeking racial equality to a supremacy group seeking REMOVAL of equality is simply astounding. No wonder you defend Nazis. Comparing BLM to white supremacists is like comparing MLK to the KKK.
As I said, libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism has been taken over by white nationalist authoritarians and its followers duped. The more we talk, the more obvious it is that you yourself are a prime example of this. It's painfully obvious when you hear Moly, Peterson and Sargon of Akkad speak. And it's painfully obvious when their followers like you speak.
And finally, climate change denial IS science denial. You may as well be a flat earther, anti-vaxxer and AIDS denier too. Because all are equally delusional.
It's no surprise you've bought into other pseudoscience as well.
The conspiratard theory that climate change is a communist plot reminds me of the fluoride idiots and chemtrails.
Climate change denial today is IDENTICAL to the denial campaign that denied smoking causes cancer in the 60s and 70s. IDENTICAL. And the same type of people who were duped by the later are being duped by the former. The intentions and origins are identical too. It is a corporate campaign to spread disinformation and uncertainty to maintain a status quo for energy companies. And the believers are useful idiots.
