I think the last paragraph in the article really gets at the point the best. That libertarianism has faded because libertarians—while mostly willing to challenge other forms of social hierarchy—never bother to challenge privatisation of property. The sort of internal inconsistency that causes ideologies to fail.
They're just anarchists with money. Or fascists work weak stomachs. Either way, good riddance.
was always socially liberal and fiscally conservative. do what u want but u bear the consequences.
but both parties are all fiscally liberal regardless and socially either backwards or more backwards. very anti individual to take responsibility for their own actions if you get pregnant i should not need to pay for your child u take care of it since its your responsibility as you having a child and having others pay means they are less likely to have their own child since you take from them.
same with everything. as a result UBI for all is much more desirable than means testing since lots of welfare queens intentionally have babies to get more money from tax payers or those that work eg the slaves.
for economics we need to remove all taxes from the income producing class not the wealthy because they produce no income they are in fact just leeches with subsidized wealth and steal from tax payers further with tax schemes and bailouts and contracts. useless bunch.
instead wealth tax them not income tax them fuk them selling assets and leaving then go then bye no one cares. EITHER produce something of value to lower inflation or leave GTFO we do not want companies that produce inflation instead of deflation it means you produce NEGATIVE VALUE. their corporations are currently a NET NEGATIVE not a positive for the whole economy.
