RE: The Libertarian party just can't get it right

in #politics4 months ago

I haven't taken the LP seriously since 2016 when they nominated Gary 'bake the Nazi cake' Johnson and gun grabbing Bill Weld. The party seems to be more focused on unresolvable culture wars than the actual existential threats to our civilization which they have no answer for and I've come to realize that is a design flaw in an ideology that only pursues liberty as an end in itself. What is the LP or any Libertarians' answer to the rising rates of chronic disease and cancer, declining fertility, the disintegration of the family and atomization of society, the labor market disruption automation will become and the affordable housing shortage. The LP in principle favors open borders:

This sounds kumbaya on paper but in practice will achieve the opposite of their objectives i.e. larger welfare state with more recipients and a worse housing shortage leading to more government expenditure on housing. It will also create another pretext to usher in digital ID as that is what the Davos crowd has already proposed to solve the migrant crisis.

The LP and most right-Libertarians are useful idiots for the global capitalist class that meets in Davos and cares nothing about human freedom. In fact, they see it as an obstacle on their way to technocracy utopia.
