    It's considered impolite to say so, but a rejection of democracy is a core part of so-called libertarianism (see von Mises on Mussolini & Hayek on Pinochet). https://twitter.com/SeanMcElwee/status/934482287437238272 …

        It's considered impolite to say so, but thinking democracy is the best we can do is "end of history" thinking.

        I see a lot of “America is a republic, not a democracy!” talk from the right...particularly libertarians.

        Also, the use of bad science fiction memes to depict racial anxiety is getting old.

        For libertarians, property rights always trump civil/human rights. Hence they'll list towards fascism the moment someone actually wants to redistribute whatever ill-gotten gains they're sitting on.

        Dumb. Property rights are human rights.

        Not surprising at all. I get the impression that a lot of the Ron Paul crowd that was so common on reddit and other such places have largely become alt-right.

        Original and real libertarians promote liberty, not property; insist on equal rights; often align with socialism; and have little to no problem with democracy.

        All true Scotsmen are libertarians.

        Libertarianism is fundamentally a desire to return to feudalism. "Libertarians" do not want to start with equal opportunities and resources. They want to start from where we are now.
