        Finally, a good meme utilizing the Gadsden Flag. That’s a fair criticism of libertarianism, imo.

          I think the fairest criticism of libertarianism is “If men were angels, no government would be necessary”.

          Like, I’m definitely level-headed and community aware enough to be a good libertarian, it’s all the other conceited assholes that need government to keep them from drinking and driving, shooting off fireworks in a field during a drought, feeding bears…etc etc.

            Yeah, as long as we have Musks, Zuckerbergs, and Shkrelis in the world, we’ll always need a public entity strong enough to act as a counterbalance. I can’t imagine an entity other than “government” to do that.

            The last thing I want is a visit from the privately-owned police department to interrogate me about using an ad blocker.

    Without the government, who would protect your private property in the first place?

      • Property requires government
      • Government requires taxes
      • Taxes are theft
      • Property is theft

      IFF taxes are theft THEN property is theft. QED. Have fun with that everybody

        • Get rid of government
        • Somebody stronger than you will overpower you and take everything selfishly
        • You still will have nothing and be on your own
        • Regret getting rid of government

          • Get rid of the government as a collective
          • Organize as a community of communities
          • Destroy the state, capitalism and patriarchy and all other vertical power structures once and for all

    Look at this guy posts people. He’s just one of the many Milei shills being paid by his fucking government. Lemmy is getting pretty bad with this kind of shit, there are a lot of these single issue accounts with a few “random” posts and comments to give them legitimacy. Sometimes is very hard to know, but this account is pretty blatant. Like most of his posts and comments are pro Milei bullshit “news”. This is going to break this platform, and it’s worrying seeing this so fast in a platform this small.

    You fail to realize how you take for granted having a working, capable government, in places were your wishes come true, the UN usually send peacekeeping and humanitarian missions.
