Finally a place for INGO libertarians

[hoosierdoc]

Welcome to Liberland, the tiny patch of woodland claiming to be the world's newest country - Telegraph

Good. ALL INGO 'libertarian' types should now, immediately, be shipped off to that 'land of milk and honey'. Voluntarily, or by force.

So they welcome everyone... except Communists, Nazis, or other extreme pasts, or criminals.

Just in case my first instinct is wrong and this DOES become an epic thread.

those are generally very unpopular things in that part of the world

Will there be more than one political party there?

No. Much like Detroit and Baltimore. Diversity only within acceptable parameters.

Best of luck to them I suppose. I don't care for Libertarian philosophy, but it'll be a neat little social experiment.

 

[hoosierdoc]

What's not to love about the philosophy?

It's more the obnoxious people that are attracted to it than the philosophy.

Im sure they will have loooooooong and in depth conversations leading to very meaningful and deliberate.....................nothing

We get it, you guys like the status quo, big government, two party system. I can see why, since it's working out so well and all.

No, you don't get it at all. Libertarianism would be great if it wasn't for it's proponents.

Your inability to separate personality from ideas is your problem. I can't help you with that, it's something you need to overcome.

Thank you for providing yet another example of what I am saying

Let's just say that some of you give the impression that a libertarian utopia would be a constant witch hunt for the ideologically impure.

Yeah. Lets.

The whole point of this thread is to troll libertarians, I'm just having fun with it. We're a lot less snarky in real life than on the Internet, I swear. No one wants to have an honest discussion anyway, it's just utopia this and pot smokers that...

FALSE says the Great OP.

the point of this thread is to discuss a new country concept formed with intention by libertarians

Cause republicans are soooo cool.......

Youre right, though. A lot of Liberty (the group is much bigger than the Libertarian Party) types can come across in an aggravating manner. But then, you probably have the same reaction to neo-liberals as well. It's hard for us to not get frustrated with folks who pound the pulpit calling for conservative principles like smaller government, personal liberty, a fair tax system, fewer gubmint handouts, etc., all the while bowing down to the Republican god who has irrefutably shown it wants none of those things. What they say they want is vastly different from what the Democrats say they want. What they each do is almost identical to what the other does. On the other hand, some of us get caught up with wanting to save the world over night, instead of just moving the needle a little farther in the right direction. That then becomes the image of the larger group, which doesn't help, because butthurt republicans who don't get our votes are looking for any reason they can to hate us.
