I never know who is replying to who on twitter screenshots at first glance. I know the format predates Elon, but the interface really sucks for any proper discussion.

The only thing I think is worse is Tumblr. The common way to communicate there is with “notes” adding new tags to the post and not, like, the actual chat/comment section that it has.

People trying to have long-form discussions on Twitter/X has baffled me since the beginning. It is decidedly not the right platform for that and it was never designed to be. In fact, its design clearly discourages any meaningful discourse. I have never been able to wrap my head around that site and its users.

Whaaaat the fuuuuuck? Kind of ironic for a libertarian to be spouting nazi shit. They either don’t know what libertarianism is or don’t know what fascism is.

Libertarians are just conservatives without the religion and/or who smoke weed. They hide behind the label because they agree with right-winger s but are too chicken-shit to admit it and can say “bUt I’m LiBeRtArIaN” when something heinous happens

Here in Australia, our libertarian party was the only political party to illegally keep advertising well past the election… Fuckers didn’t even clean up their own signs which they are legally required to

Libertarian ideology at work. “Fuck you, I have more ey” or “I dont want poor gay or black people dying in the streets cause they are black or gay. I want them dying in the streets cause they’re poor.”

libertarians are conservatives with even worse critical thinking skills.
most conservative arguments fall apart when you ask 3 consecutive questions, but it only takes 1 or 2 questions for the typical libertarian argument

- We should cut funding to Israel.
- We should not tariff Chinese EVs.
- Marijuana should be legalized.
- The war in Iraq was wrong (either of them).
- A woman has a right to bodily autonomy.

They’re usually even greedier than normal Republicans too, and lean as hard on the 1st amendment as Republicans lean on the 2nd.

Why are so many of those who claim that they’re libertarians not actually libertarians?
TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Because they are embarrassed about being Republicans.

I mean, trump is leading the republicans and has for almost a decade.
I’d be embarassed too if THAT GUY represented me too.

And yet (at least from an outsider perspective) libertarians are closer to democrats than republicans
Republicans seem all about telling you what you can and can’t do (can’t get hrt, can’t get an abortion, can’t smoke weed, must marry and have children etc.) whereas both democrats and libertarians are largely “just live your life” but that could just be because all the american parties seem so financially right wing that they’re basically the same in that respect
EurekaStockade@lemmy.world 2 months ago
So they fucking should be, although being libertarian is only marginally less embarrassing anyway

First and foremost, it’s because libertarians aren’t a thing
- They are republicans that are too embarrassed to identify as such publicly .

If not even Libertarians will abide by the Non-Aggression Pact why do they think that’s a solution to anything?
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The NAP was always a crock of shit. There is no real rhyme or reason to it. Just a Libertarian’s way of saying “You started it!” every time they get into a physical altercation.

Since 2020, the party has received coverage in the press for controversial, far-right, and antisemitic statements made by its Twitter account. They got skunked, its a purposeful Russian backed psy op.

On one hand Libertarians are stupid, on the other hand as an Anarcho-Syndicalist I wouldn’t shed a single tear over the death of a powerful person (politican or capitalist). Yes I get it shes technically better then Trump but lets be honest, she’s basically Facsism Lite™.
MonkRome@lemmy.world 2 months ago
She is to the left of every president in my lifetime, which I get isn’t saying much, but she was the forth most left politician in the senate… Fascism is an inherently right wing ideology, the worst you could call her is moderately authoritarian about a small number of personal freedoms and a ruthless pragmatist about military.
kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
She blindly supports the military, has made no real effort to slow down US funding of genocide, and is willing to compromise with Fascists.

themeatbridge@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I’m not entirely sure, because I’ve never gotten the hang of Twitter. But readint between the lines, I think this is the sequence of events:
Libertarian twit tweets a death threat against Harris.
Libertarian twit is reminded of the rules (and common decency) and removes the offending tweet.
Libertarian twit passive aggressively tweets about having removed the tweet they twote, invoking the promises of free speech to imply that Leon was censoring their tweets.
Leon responds to the complaint with the tweet the twit twote, simultaneously demonstrating that the twit is a twat and amplifying the message.
