Something something “narco terrorist”
This meme is absolutely correct, which is why it makes me so happy that that California is making real strides in repatriating looted ancestor graves and cultural items with CalNAGPRA. Thousands have been returned to tribes, sometimes to be cared for locally, sometimes reburied, and sometimes the tribe maintains ownership but allows the university/museum to display it. Ie, the same fucking rights they should have had from the beginning. It’s about half a century late, but at least it’s finally getting underway.
American libertarians are misguided at best and fascist at worst
Libertarianism is a vague ideology with numerous schools of thoughts. Ancaps & classical liberals do not hold a monopoly on the libertarian title nor the gadsden flag.
I do not assume everyone who uses the hammer and sickle is some tankie… All i ask is the same respect.
ask for respect
mention ancap unironically
lmao
No.
Are you a libertarian socialist? Or an American “libertarian”? The convolution of the term in the US has really done a disservice to understanding what people mean when they say they are libertarian, I’ll grant you that
I’ll be honest though, I’ve never seen the Gadsden flag used by any flavor of libertarian that I find agreeable
Neither.
The reason I use the general term libertarian is because if I called myself a consenualist nobody would know what that means. After all I’m the creator and sole adherent of the school of thought.
I think the “left” & the “right” are equally insufferable. I’m tired of both of them constantly trying to police everything. (My use of the snek flag included)
Lol ok
I’m not here to tell you what to believe, but the Gadsden flag is pretty closely associated with right-wing American libertarianism. If you want to keep using it, go right ahead, just don’t be surprised when that’s what people assume you stand for
Ok. From now on I’ll assume all socialists are Nazis. I’ll match the energy. 👍
You’ll be incorrect, and people will think you don’t know what you’re talking about as a result, but you’re certainly welcome to do that.
100% agree. Politics is very much a label and judge arena. It’s sad that the American Right has claimed the libertarian label and the gadsden flag, seeing that their authoritarian ideology couldn’t be further away from the real meanings of either actual libertarian philosophy or the flag itself.
Real libertarianism in my opinion is closer to the writings of John Locke than it is to the current American Right. It’s sad that it’s been twisted to be seen in that way, and consequently hated that way too.
From Augustine:
“Indeed, that was an apt and true reply which was given to by a pirate who had been seized. For when that king had asked the man what he meant by keeping hostile possession of the sea, he answered with bold pride, "What do you mean by seizing the whole earth; because I do it with a petty ship, I am called a robber, while you who does it with a great fleet are styled emperor.”
OP was smart and got ahead of my “but do you have a flag?” question
The reason I like the Flashman books is that he’s the only Victorian era hero who actually acts like a Victorian would have. He’s a slaver, rapist, and murderer.
