Its a specific form of Libertarianism which believes there is a need for the government but said need should be minimized to a handful of key areas.

@gunkslinger @Liberty4Masses

@freemo @liberty4masses @gunkslinger You kids are funny, redefining libertarianism like that.

Seems Project Mockingbird was a success.

@anornymorse Agreed, i find it silly. Libertarianism is basically any view that seeks to minimize governement. Beyond that there are as many flavors as you want really.

@freemo
> Gets called a mockingbird puppet for redefining libertarianism.
> goes ahead and redefines it *again*.

Humans need a debugger, stat.

@anornymorse I'm not sure using the same definition as has been accepted for several decades now counts as "redefining it"

@freemo
> Says same definition has been around for "several decades"
> Isn't even old enough to remember two decades.

Thanks for the laugh.

@anornymorse What does the fact that the definition is older than you matter? Or did you mean me, cause you have no idea how old I am.

@freemo @anornymorse this whole conversation is stupid, theres like 30 different specified definitions for libertarianism and as simply a word its majorly abstract, for example for 40 years anarcho-syndicalist have taken to calling themselves libertarian socialist to express their views on personal intersocial control that often takes place within traditional socialist countries
@a7 @freemo

I'm being flooded by 20yo's telling me about history. Help.
@a7 @freemo The best part? "Libertarian socialist" was never even a thing more than 10 years ago. And now every commie faggot tries to use it to join the Free State project, and wonders why anyone older than 30 calls them mockingbird meat-puppets.
@orekix @a7 @freemo Yes, show me more pictures of literally-whos. That's totally not an Authority Fallacy.

This is all quite amusing. I feel like gary reliving the debate in some nonsensical parody of itself:

@freemo @gunkslinger @a7 @orekix Wait. Are you trying to tell me that Gary Johnson was a libertarian?

Cos this is about to enter "opinion fucking discarded" territory.

@anornymorse @orekix @a7 @freemo
>Wait. Are you trying to tell me that Gary Johnson was a libertarian?
This is the level of Freemo's understanding of libertarianism.

@anornymorse @gunkslinger @freemo @orekix a whig isnt something you wear on your head, but refers only to british loyalist in 1776
@a7 @freemo @gunkslinger @orekix

You should give history lessons. I'm learning so much from you this hellthread.
@anornymorse @freemo @gunkslinger @orekix you and these retards should give up this autism and realize that these words you are using have vague concepts attached to them and nothing more... are conservationist focused on being conservatives?
@anornymorse @freemo @gunkslinger @orekix you have been arguing for like 2 hours on word definitions, you and the person you are arguing with could have simply said "i mean this when i say this" and moved on and gotten to issues you disagreed with, instead you both clowned yourselves and wasted your fucking time.
@anornymorse @freemo @gunkslinger @orekix na i popped into the thread latter and saw the length and gave a random guess, i really just popped in to call both of you guys stupid no matter your affiliation.
@anornymorse @freemo @gunkslinger @orekix im american and believe in the right to bare arms incase we need to shoot invaders or politicians
@a7 @freemo @gunkslinger @orekix I don't care how naked your arms are, you came unprepared to this thread.
@anornymorse @freemo @gunkslinger @orekix ok but you are dumb, and obsess over vague words and can only view things through a single lense based on your failed boomer life, have fun- i give up on you and this thread.
@anornymorse @freemo @gunkslinger @orekix yes actually i was underestimating, this thread has gone on 5 hours over words

@freemo @orekix @a7 @anornymorse
So how do you fund this government of yours without violating people's rights? What is the point of libertarianism in your mind if it does not uphold people's rights?

@gunkslinger
Depends my system wouldnt really be purely any model. But most of the ways I'd resolve that is simply to make governments opt-in.You choose what government you want to be a part of (the details behind this are complex) or no nation at all. Therefore you choose which tax/reward scheme you want as a result.

But how such a system works would take a while to deep dive on.

@orekix @a7 @anornymorse

@anornymorse
I never claimed it to be a minarchism or even any other form of libertarianism. So no.

@orekix @gunkslinger @a7

@freemo @anornymorse @orekix @a7
>I never claimed it to be a minarchism or even any other form of libertarianism. So no.

LOL!

@gunkslinger
A minarchism, by definition, represents the state as being, you guessed it, minimal. Usually covering just the night-watch needs. I made no claim that state need be minimal. Thus minarchism does not apply here.

@anornymorse @orekix @a7

@freemo @orekix @a7 @anornymorse
So what you've just described is something called "anarcho-capitalism" or "voluntaryism". Have you heard of them?

@gunkslinger
Well if your the one repeating things I already mentioned earlier sounds like your the one that needs the nap.

@orekix @a7 @anornymorse

@freemo @orekix @a7 @anornymorse
>Well if your the one repeating things I already mentioned earlier sounds like your the one that needs the nap.

LOL! Give it up, man. You've painted yourself into a corner and trying to change the history of this discussion won't give you wings. You're just going to have to walk across your handiwork like the rest of us would.

@gunkslinger
Are you seriously trying to fabricate some bullshit like I didnt just talk about anarcho-capitalism 15 minutes before you asked? Lol thats some impressive delusion you have going there. Ok I'm out then. I learned from flat earthers long ago you cant change stupid.

@orekix @a7 @anornymorse

@freemo @orekix @a7 @anornymorse

>Are you seriously trying to fabricate some bullshit like I didnt just talk about anarcho-capitalism 15 minutes before you asked?

Here is your very first reply in this thread, and what prompted me to challenge you:
"Can't say I agree. In fact I know of no libertarian who advocates for no government at all. They are just anarchists."

THEY ARE JUST ANARCHISTS.

Take the L.
