Endorsing a libertarian for president seems to be a contradictory statement, if it implies that a libertarian tries to run for president.

I mean, ok, there is a loophole in beliefs so to say, that non-libertarian politics may not be just or obligatory or possess that legal sacredness non-libertarians attribute them, but participating in those is not contradictory to being a libertarian. Even running for president still calling yourself a libertarian.

I suppose in USA the last pic is true. In Russia libertarians are mostly teenagers and adults of teenager mentality, and also the only real category of lone gloomy types not interested in activism and such.

What if the government is like Reddit? We move to lemmy to get away from their influence and to have our own values.

Why does this not make sense when it comes to politics? Communities are captured by network effects. It's an uphill battle to make things right if the idiots have to be dragged along.

Even when it comes to racism, let people be racist somewhere. Let them live their miserable life while there is no need to waste resources on making them treat all humans with respect. However, unlike the North after the war, help those who are stuck with them, to get away.

Why is it important to put the race variable here? "Libertarianism is just rich () guys that dont want to be TAXED"
