Madlad posted this on the r/libertarian subreddit and they banned him

Ironic that Libertarians are banning things in their own subreddit.

Libertarians: people too stupid to fully understand their own ideologies

Been banned from there. Basically only right-lib or ancap views are allowed there, left-lib (me) need not apply.

it's the libertarians... you should've said the bicycle lowers the age of consent or something.

Woke mods can't handle facts and logic

Whoever posted that doesn't understand libertarians.

If there were no government regulations, they would have nothing to complain about and their lives would be ruined.

You gotta wear a helmet though in some places, and depending on where you are you may have to do much more than that

Gotta keep one hand on the handlebars

Gotta have a light

CAN'T RIDE WITH TWO PEOPLE ON THE SAME SEAT

YOU HAVE TO USE FUCKING HAND SIGNALS I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA NOT JUST AMERICA BUT TEXAS FOR GOD'S SAKE

(Fun fact, I actually met someone who got deported after getting stopped by the cops, originally, for riding a bike at night without a light 🙁)

(Edit: Also... banning someone from the libertarian subreddit because they said something you feel like they shouldn't be allowed to say, so you have to use your administrative controls to silence them, is frickin hilarious. Not that I am surprised.)

The first time I heard the phrase "become ungovernable", I assumed it was about home gardening and biking and reducing consumer waste. Imagine my disappointment when I found out it was actually about perpetuating institutional inequality and "fuck you, got mine."

they hated him because he spoke the truth

No ban on riding a bike? Apparently they never met MOM!

I won't tell them to be consistent, because consistent liberterians are scary.

I think that could also have been cross-posted into !fuckcars@lemmy.world as well.

Yeah, american libertarians call themselves the wrong thing. The more correct term I find would be anarcho-capitalist, which is just all around a completely non-viable economic and governance system.

Lol, next you'll be telling me libertarianism only exists in any kind of numbers because the fossil fuel and meat lobbies want to pay less tax and abide by fewer regulations....

No, of course, they'll still charge a levy for people using THIER stuff to make money for themselves. In fact, its their favourite part. They love that bit. They just don't think it should apply to them.

In the same way an employee using their software/clients/computer/factory/property will be charged, a state will charge the owner for using their educated for force etc. etc. The only difference is the state-ness of one of the parties, even when companies can exist as a state.

However, they'll act like you just asked to fuck their mum when the subject of paying taxes comes up. Then, theyll look you dead in the eye and claim its a moral issue, without a hint of shame.

States can do one too. I'm just saying, don't fall for it. They either haven't critically evaluated it properly or they think you're an idiot.

Libertarians are nothing but Republicans who dont want the baggage, anyway. So its hardly surprising that they act just like all the other right wing subreddits.

Just a frame, a chain, two wheels, and some grease!

The dodge ram or just ram these days is the libertarian god.

Wow that's wonderful, what a brilliant creation. Kudos to the artist.

Missed putting a bit about how cars erode fourth amendment rights.

Libertarianism really is the most easily dismissed “ideology” of all because it can only work on the foundation of a governed entity like a country or state which it can suck the lifeblood out of.

It’s basically just thinkable as a LARP pastime for the ultra-selfish.

forced insurance in the us scammy as fuck though

The last point is incorrect. Here in Belgium if they take your drivers' license, you can be stopped on a bike as well. Anything except foot traffic really. Chances of getting caught are astronomically low, but it does happen.

Fuktards.

r/libertarian seems kinda anti liberty
