      Libertarian who wants a meaner and bigger police force is a self own, I'd say.

          In my years teaching I have come across a lot, and I mean a lot, of students who claim they are libertarian. In reality, they want lower taxes and regulations on themselves and they want an aggressive government toward other people -- usually minorities, non-Americans, etc..

          But saying they are libertarians give them a patina of intellectual respectability and they can claim they are not rigid partisan. They usually "don't vote by party"....except they always seem to vote for Republicans.

          Libertarians aren't really libertarian.

          Libertarians just want a big government for protecting the rich and no government to protect the poor.

          Goes without saying libertarians should abandon libertarianism for a respectable right-wing authoritarian ideology, but no, consistent, globalist libertarians are much, much worse than these sorts.

          Hi, I'm a consistent globalist libertarian. Borders are one of the most fundamental evils that states inflict upon the world. ICE is an inherently fascist organization. Anyone who disagrees is about as libertarian as Josef Stalin.

          Right-Libertarians are such mean Cold Fishes - born with no commitment to compassion but committed to suffering & Profit.

          1) Par for the course in the land of Libertaria. 2) Every time I see this guy go to the bat for Trump (which is only when you respond to him, BTW), I wonder how he can fail to realize that with a name like 'Raimondo' he's not exactly Mayflower material himself.

          It's just a recognition that, to the extent libertarianism can ever work, it works better when a nation is not being flooded by migrants who are hostile to the ideology.pic.twitter.com/Eik4PVaXFB

          Libertarianism is a la carte government for mostly selfish people.
