    Modern Libertarian: a conservative that’s too cowardly to commit to the bit.

        They’re too afraid of the label. So they hide behind a less offensive one. It’s like how a lot of racists like to be called “rednecks” instead.

    There’s a significant difference between the people rising against their government and the people rising against some of the government on behalf of the rest of the government.

    That’s what happened on Jan 6th. Those people were launching an assault to support their preferred representatives, they were very much pro-government. Nothing libertarian about it.

    Dammit, they’re right

    I’m all for citizens occupying government buildings for their cause. It’s our property. Yes these people are insane but it’s the principle of free assembly and speech. I also support the right of the Black Panthers to occupy the California state house.

    I’m not for government officials overturning a legitimate election
