I just want to metaphorically scratch my head every time tries to mind someone else's business that doesn't hurt anyone else. Like the lgbt, would people suddenly explode if their neighbors are gays? The religious people who try to tell everyone they are evil if they don't believe a god.

And the glaring irony of the situation is: it's "live & let live" liberalism that gave homosexuals and religious people the freedom to live their lives without others telling them they're doing something wrong, and yet both religious people and now homosexuals too that call for authoritarian treatment of people whose lives they disapprove of!


Libertarianism sounds like freedom... a third and better choice, that simply lacks the media of those in the other two camps, who want to take over the world.

Right, that's what attracted me to libertarianism, the "3rd choice" part. I was painfully aware that I agreed with some "left" principles, but also with some "right" principles. Anything authoritarian I disliked, and anything liberal I agreed with. But you can't be both left and right? If you're consistently liberal, you can

 
Why doesn't libertarianism use the media like the others use it? Because they don't want to take over the world like the others do. All they want is freedom.

Well, they do. And guess what! They divided themselves into 2 camps: conservative libertarians, and left-libertarians!!! I'm not making this up

Are the "libertarian media" trying to take over libertarianism, to twist it's meaning? Seems like that to me, but of course, that makes me crazzzzzy for saying it, no doubt
