Come to think of it do left libertarians even exist because all the libertarians in America seem pretty right-wing

"Left libertarian" in the political compass covers the range from people who think that there should be a strong social safety net and progressive taxation (so no, they don't hate taxes) but also support civil liberties (freedom of speech, press, association, movement, etc) to democratic socialists to anarchists, depending on how far left you go.

Libertarians in America all seem right wing because it's only right-libertarians that actually call themselves libertarians.

This is a reminder that in America, they are so far off balance that they think of 'liberals' as left-wing.

Many European moderate right-wing parties call themselves liberals. Liberal, a word that comes from freedom, means less rules, less taxes (for businesses and rich people), and less government-run social services. And you know, most of the right-wing European liberal parties are rather similar in what they want to the USA Democratic Party. There's no direct equivalent to the Republican party in Europe, unless you count the far-right parties whose only campaign promise is "less foreigners".

The left-wing parties going against liberals in the elections are usually social-democrats, who fight for an inclusive healthcare system and subsidies to help poor people. There's no direct equivalent to them in the USA, except, maybe, if you squint your eyes, Bernie Sanders. Of course there's also the far left, which are straight up socialists.

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?
All this talk about Ringo being the worst Beatle.

Of course he is.

He replaced the Best Beatle.

I was trying to figure out the population of Alabama, when google offered this handy graph:


It took me a moment to figure out what happened in the 90s that lead to the 'state' of Georgia's population to shrink so dramatically.

Google's using the population of the country of Georgia for that graph, not the US state, but it's showing Alabama's and Mississippi's population graphs as related anyway.

Based on the map, that's the population of Georgia (the country), not Georgia (the US state).

Imagine if they invaded both the state and the country at the same time. The world would be keeping an eye on the country, and when reports suddenly came out from the us the reset of the world would just be all "loving idiot yanks and their prank videos, things are serious over here"
