I wouldn't give a poo poo if he wasn't being so incredibly annoying about it. A year ago, we'd have some beers, play video games, and chill out. Today he doesn't drink anymore and keeps injecting government oppression into every conversation. We used to text funny pictures like goatse back and forth. Now I just get a million libertarian memes sent to my phone. We're in New England and currently in the middle of this big blizzard. There's a driving ban in place, so no cars are allowed to be on the road except for emergency services. I think the logic behind it is that cops and paramedics are going to have their hands full as it is, without having to worry about dumbasses who can't drive in the snow and get stranded. This oppression is apparently driving him crazy, and now he's driving me crazy. Every place is closed, and he doesn't have a girlfriend. He literally has no where he needs to be today. Today he texted me, "I bet they're coming for our guns next." He doesn't own any guns

so what? now instead of beer you'll drink unpasteurized milk, the only video game you'll play is bioshock and instead of goatse, you'll send each other those pictures of ron and rand paul spreading their asscheeks apart.

This is good and you should look at becoming a libertarian too. Most goons are communists and socialists and look how bad their lives are.

How would "Operation Blizzard Gungrab" even work? Even if the Feds did successfully leverage this blizzard into rounding up everybody's guns, they'd have tipped their hand to the entire rest of the country. I think your friend's problem isn't libertarian propaganda, it's that he's just an idiot in general.

burritolingus posted:Libertarian just means Republican. They're both anti-worker/hate unions, anti-abortion, pro-gun, anti-universal health care, and hate taxes but that's pretty much it for similarities. Republicans love cops, and libertarians don't. Republicans are anti-gay, libertarians are not. Republicans love spending money on the military, libertarians do not. Republicans are pro-death penalty, libertarians are not. Republicans are vehemently anti-drugs, and libertarians love to toke up. Actually now that I think about it, libertarians are everything republicans claim they are but aren't (for small government). Nigmaetcetera posted:I remember back in the day when libertarianism was a good thing.

Republicans are actually way better because "small government" has literally never solved a problem ever and at least with Republicans people have the military as a way to work up the social ladder, with Libertarians if your poor enjoy being poor forever.

Dyna Soar posted:be a friend and buy him a gun Note that Israeli Weapons Incorporated now sells the civilian version of the IDF service rifle, the Tavor, in the US. This should be perfect for meeting his desire for a gun, "pissing off liberals", and lionizing plucky li'l Israel as being a place that's "got it right".  There was an initial huge rush to buy them, but the market has settled down to about $1500 now. Huuuuuge aftermarket too, all kinds of small workshops making accessories and the like for them. There's this one shop that's put out an integrally-suppressed 9mm barrel for it, it's like whisper-quiet. On second thought, don't buy one for him, tell him to bootstrap his way into owning a gun.

They're all a bunch of hypocrites. "Republican" "Democrat" "Libertarian" are basically just brands at this point. Each of them advocates the government being exactly as big as it needs to be to grant favors to their lobbyists, and small wherever that would hurt their political rivals.

Nobody wants a small government and I'm not sure that anyone can actually articulate a logical argument in favor of reducing the size of our government. People that cry about the size of government are just retards that are regurgitating something they heard on AM radio. All three parties are exactly the same and their agenda is to make rich people richer and insulate them from any accountability for their actions, while simultaneously keeping the poor right on the edge of ruin and terrified of rocking the boat.
