That quick, massive swing from Republicans this year suggests a lot of them had their faces eaten by some leopards.
i bet a nice chunk is also "if this can be used against them it can be also used against me".
everything this admin does is so brutish and unsophisticated it keeps peeling off their more squishy base
Yeah that libertarian-leaning chunk of the base has to be a little freaked out by the optics of all this. Especially as these raids are often disrupting the operations of Small Business Tyrants.
i know a few myself. sometimes they are easier to move to the left since they distinctly distrust the government and aren't under the spell of hyper-nationalism
Marx is too scary for them but call Proudhon the OG libertarian and you got yourself some mutualists at least. don't let perfect be the enemy of good
As someone who was dipping my toes in libertarianism (very briefly around 2002/2003 I was only 18 so cut me some slack) before learning more about anarchism and how American libertarians bastardized it and now am here, I think it's absolutely a viable and oft overlooked tactic.
Each teenager is allocated 3 hours to 3 months of being a libertarian. No cash value if not redeemed. No warranty express or implied.
ugh i guess i owe money then i started at like 16 and only attached "left" to libertarian by 18 and rode that shit until my late 20s (to be fair i was basically a libertarian socialist in all but name)
i used to comment on reason dot org and call people vulgar libertarians there towards the end. not sure which was more shameful
Virtually every American has some form of pestilent brainworms. Figure out how to speak to them and get them on the pipeline. Deworming libertarians is an exhausting task I'd only really feel comfortable asking our white comrades to do.
Well, as a white person I guess I gotta do it.
I actually do a pretty good job of it sometimes.
it's tough. sometimes i have to hide power level and pretend i'm on the exact same political journey as the person i'm working with but just a bit further ahead.
basically work them through it with me
