About us

An open, user owned community for the general disscussion of the libertarian philosophy.

Most people live their own lives by that code of ethics. Libertarians believe that that code should be applied consistently, even to the actions of governments, which should be restricted to protecting people from violations of their rights. Governments should not use their powers to censor speech, conscript the young, prohibit voluntary exchanges, steal or “redistribute” property, or interfere in the lives of individuals who are otherwise minding their own business.

I'm glad you brought that up. A New Hampshire State Representative was just convicted of distributing Child Sex Abuse Material.

Amazing? I see she isn't in politics anymore! And she's been charged! That's fantastic! I bet you're just as enthusiastic about holding all sex criminals to the same standard? And making sure all the epstein files are released! You wouldn't make a poor quality "whatabout" argument here would you?

I agree. Let's release The Epstein Files. Sounds great to me 🙂

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Fantastic! And the fact that the GOP is holding back the release of these files should mean that you wouldn't want to support them right?

The motion to release The Epstein Files was sponsored by Thomas Massie. He is a prominent Liberty Republican in Congress.

Here is a recent article where Massie argues to expedite the release of the files by appointing a Special Master.

Good for him, not like Ro Khana had anything to do with it eh? Funny the guy still is a republican, even though his party is covering for trump, I guess birds of a feather.

I wouldn't go that far. But I agree that the Epstein Files should be released. I mean, I posted a video supporting a Liberty Republican. Of course I want people like him to get elected. 🙂

I thought sex criminals, and those who support/cover for them, and fascists shouldn't be elected. Hmm maybe wanting people who endorse that kind of behavior isn't a good thing?
