your relationship, his head, your balls, whatever all im saying is you gotta find a sharp object and start swinging it around wildly because it's the only language libertarians understand

well that and filing lawsuits for trivial matters that will inevitably be thrown out by the judge but not before annoying the gently caress out of everyone

It kinda boggles my mind that anyone wants to be a full-on anaracho-capitalist libertarian in light of the poo poo Wall Street's been doing for the past decade or so. People with more money than God can already do whatever the gently caress they want

Tyranny is not being allowed to dump industrial waste into public water supplies, having to take a loss on perfectly good ground beef just because one of the workers lost his hand in the grinder, and the labor force having the right to freely associate and collectively bargain. - Libertarian Jesus

God hates libertarians, tell him he's going to hell it's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Ayn

A libertarian is definitely not a joke, and I have no intention of making light of it. And it can be a tough and emotional thing for couples to go through, speaking from personal experience. And I know that it's often much harder on the woman than on the man. However, I also know that it doesn't necessarily turn you into a sad, depressed sack of tears for the rest of your life. People can move past it, and heal. This falls in with what I was just saying above. Yes, a libertarian is a very sad occurance. But nothing dictates that I now need to follow OP and Liberlah through every second of their sad emotions, putting us right in the middle of it where, yes, it would be a bit depressing. There are a number of supporting characters in the strip through which I can tell the story, or I could break away completely with some one-shots and come back to join the characters post-ground-zero, when the pain isn't so fresh, to show how they handle it.

I know this is hard to believe for internet people, but it is possible to be friends with someone and not talk about politics. Have you considered not giving a poo poo about politics, op?

Gaunab posted:My friend recently came out as a libertarian recently. Should I support him or shame him? That depends. Is he a Randian "Libertarian" (and thus not a Libertarian at all, really) or is he an actual Libertarian, in that he supports smaller government, strong local government, states rights >>> federal rights, and an abolishment of the drug prohibition?

It is when I see others degraded that I rejoice knowing it is better to be me than the scum of "the people". Whenever men are equal, without that difference, happiness cannot exist. So you wouldn't aid the humble, the unhappy. In all the world no voluptuousness flatters the senses more than social privilege. Oh wait you said libertarian not libertine. Maybe he'd rather be a libertine OP, ask him!

Show him a photo of Ayn Rand and tell him that she is what he's obligated to find sexy now.

Use these funny/sassy images to show him that his worldview is wrong and bad, and your worldview is right and good.

I confided in one of my friends recently. I shared a sockibg and shameful truth that I've been trying to keep hidden. Sure, by some of the things i come out with and say, my stance on both important and mundane issues, I'm guessing that quite a few peoplee may well have their suspicions - but neither friends or family have outright said anything about it or confronted me for the facts on the matter or the truth. Anyway, this friend of mine. He's a close friend, very close. We were having a d&m convo the other day and I was comfortable to disclose my dirty l'il secret to him. I felt sure he'd understand my position, not judge me, and well at least (try? pretend even?) to be a little bit supportive. Apparently I was wrong! Wrong about him, wrong about trusting him with my innermost secret, just wrong about everything. Ugh! It appears that he doesn't understand me at all. I am so torn up about this. I'm in tears as I type this... *sniffles*... been crying all day about it. How can my very best friend in the whole wide world not understand me properly? It just hurts so drat much. It's gotten back to me from other friends in our circle (even my grandpa rang me about it for gently caress's sake!) that my trusted confidante friend has been going around whispering to all and sundry about my politics. Like wtf? He's telling people that I'm a libertarian and asking for advice on how to counsel me about it, also asking whether he should just try shame me out of my choices. I cannot believe this is actually happening! I loving hate politics. With a passion! Take pains to avoid anything to do with the stupid poo poo whenever possible. I confided in my friend that it's in my heart, that my true nature and very essence, is to be glib. That I'm a glibertarian. Obviously my best friend doesn't understand a loving word I say. And that's just heartbreaking. FML!

It's not so bad. I'm sure their knowledge of the Dewey decimal system makes them handy when you need to find reference materials.

Have you considered not giving a poo poo about politics, op? However, this "friend" already confessed being libertarian. Even if he never mentions it again, it isn't something that the OP can easily forget. After all, there are some things you can never forget, and much less forgive. It's comparable to knowing that someone you're friends with is a pedophile- even if the subject never comes up again, the question remains whether you could or even should stay friends with him. Incidentally, the correct answer is "No" in both cases.

i came out as an agrarian to my dad a while ago, he seemed pretty okay with it. maybe its because he finally accepted me for who i am, with all my faults, my mistakes, my love, my generosity, and the spiritual core of my being. maybe its because he realized true love and family has nothing to do with our political affiliation. maybe its because he's buried 6 feet under a gravestone. i don't know. i'm not a mortician.
