Back in my day, we had to paint our faces and wear floppy shoes to get our clown noses! Now Fox News is giving them out for free. Goddamn lazy boomers just want their clown noses handed to them!

Sounds like a participation trophy to me. I thought they hated socialism?

Nah, they love socialism for them. If they need government assistance it’s ok because they’re just temporarily disadvantaged millionaires, whereas all of the poor and non-white people are just lazy and want things handed to them like a bunch of commies!

Ik the intention of your comment isn’t to imply otherwise but I think it’s still important to note that “socialism for them” isn’t socialism.

Also these “(right) libertarians” are as libertarian as “anarcho-capitalists” are anarchists and as the “national socialists” where socialist. They’re just another case of leftist terminology being stolen and twisted by the right.

Oh, I’m more than aware of their hypocrisy. I was being facetious.

“Libertarian conservative” makes exactly as much sense as “authoritarian liberal” and has the same energy as “lawful chaotic” or “evil good”.

This might be controversial, but I’d disagree. In the real sense of the word, a libertarian is just someone who wants the government to stay out of people’s lives. A conservative libertarian would want the government to not regulate what people do, but maintain very limited control of businesses. However, modern libertarians don’t really follow this, except where it pertains to child marraige and things like that. A real libertarian is mostly socially left, but economically right. At one point in time I did agree with that, but that’s just because I didn’t know about anarchism or other leftist philosophy that is logically consistent and better.
