I love libertarian ideas like let people do what they want, government should have minimal intervention in peoples' lives, stuff like that. But the libertarian party is full of the worst type of people and they will never be taken seriously for any major election.
Libertarian ideas about freedom from government intervention are taken to an extreme and wrapped up in the denial of funding social supports, because pooling resources for the overall benefit of society is evil or something.
Many countries establish personal rights in a way that still allow for freedom without the libertarian selfishness aspect.
and most of them are just republicans that arnt "out loud"
Libertarians want minimal government intervention only when it comes to services that THEY don't need. Libertarians have no philosophical restrictions on military spending that protects THEIR assets from foreign invaders.
Lol we (the US) haven't had "foreign invaders" since the War of 1812.
Let people do what they want. Unless they're buying junk food with food stamps!
Some junk food purchases became allowable only after the increased homeless population forced poor people to eat food that didn't require a stove or refrigerator.
