Because we all should obey any and all far-right governments without questioning. In Greece the far-right government sends cops to arrest people who go out to feed the homeless without government permission.
Mobilizing for and agreeing with fascism is so hip and cool…

Right wing libertarians are not talking about “tyranny of scientists”, they as well as left libertarians are highly critical of authoritarian and totalitarian censorship and ruling elites pushing politically selected narratives in the name of “science”, which in fact is anti-scientific as hell, as it’s not supposed to be dogmatic belief system,…[Read more]

“Traditional” Reagan/Bush (neo)conservatism is far from dead. Obama, Biden etc. have taken up that legacy and continue to carry it to worse. Among the ruling elite, the 20%, the professional managerial class, corporate fascism and imperialism is stronger than ever.
Trump weirdo shit was and is anti-establishment phenomenon for the most part.…[Read more]

This is quite similar to political compass. Most people who do that, also locate in the lower left corner. While most politicians from all parties locate in the upper right corner. Basically, what that tells is that people generally don’t wanna be assholes, but the job of a politician is to be an asshole. Something very wrong with the whole thing…[Read more]

Cool, and I tried to clarify that US dominance = terrorism, for large part.
Salafists etc. monotheist maniacs can still try do their own terrorism, regardless of US. Any case I agree it’s better to let locals solve their own problem without US making things worse.

As you mention MIC, you mean that Biden etc. are right wing conservatives? And when Trump speaks against and tries to act against MIC – as weakly and badly as he does that, what ever – he’s not right wing conservative?
It’s very confusing. 🙂

Masks may have some meaning for slowing down the spreading of the virus to avoid overloading the health care system until herd immunity or what ever, and as I’ve said, no problem with recommending and using them, if that is your choice. Knowing that there’s also big problems with pollution etc.
Mandatory use and getting totalitarian police state…[Read more]

Libertarian doesn’t mean here the US party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_socialism
Also, government can mean many things. Centralized, top down government is what does the exploitation, e.g. capitalist managers and owners of a corportation. Libertarian socialism means decentralized ownership – co-ops, mutual insurances – and…[Read more]

In terms of War on Drudgs, USA was not the first, but sure as hell the main and the worst, especially in terms of global reality. And US giving in and admitting “defeat” will have wide global repercussions. Maybe even in hillybilly insane Sweden, etc Nordic countries.

Let’s not exaggerate. World is not all about US, and getting less so. Sure, US is number one Terrorist, but there still plenty of conflicts that dont involve direct or indirect US participation.

Some de facto conservatives and authoritarians that are pro status quo and pro establishment think that level playing field with mutual aid is not possible without violent top dow coercion and class society. That argument is pretty obviously self defeating.

That’s always the problem. I just interprete the questions according to my perspective.
“Progressive” is actually pretty bad as political/tribal identity, as as such it doesn’t tell much about anything real. Fascism aka productionism aka radical capitalism can be considered also “progressive” from certain presuppositions and…[Read more]

Give it a little thought. The real meaning of libertarianism is exaclty level playing field, meeting as peers, free association, mutual care and NON-VIOLENCE.
You can’t create a level playing field by top down class society. The real meaning of governance is not them, but self governance by us as peers. By free association. Violent…[Read more]
