Ahh right lets make up phrases that in no way resemble anything said and then put quotes around it so I can argue with it and make it look like im arguing with the person I quoted when in reality im just arguing with ghosts my imagination made up....

Carry on.

@TEG Maybe Gonif is better?

@thatguyoverthere

I guess its a mental disorder to want evil cruel people to have the level of success they truely deserve.

@georgetakei

@TEG Schmuck?

@niclas

There are two aspects to this... one is that laws are vastly over used to negative effect... sure we agree here.

The other is if ALL law is counter to freedom... and the answer is, no, unless you getinto rediculous things like "Making murder illegal infringes on my freedom to murder people"

@Darkayne

@georgetakei Him loosing everything would make me happy.

@feld

funny, me and my coworkers watching your comments were just thinking the same thing about you... small world.

@niclas @thatguyoverthere

@niclas

Because someone needs to organize our collective resources to achieve greater works.. even if the people do this through elected and selected charities, they have no choosen a "master" over that aspect.

@modrobert @Darkayne

@niclas

Yup, that sounds indistinguishable from Anarchy where you have no govt and mods rule...

@Darkayne

@feld

Ahhh, a bad-faith argument then... ok

@niclas @thatguyoverthere

@feld @niclas @thatguyoverthere

Libertarians vote for anythi g that reduces govt authority or spending... they dont vote with the gop so much as for whatever side regulates the least. Since democrats solve everything with (bad) legislation its no surprise they always vote against.

@niclas @Darkayne

"Is autboritarian" makes no sense as its a slidi g scale. It isnt somethi g you are or arent, its a sliding scale.

Funny tbat your taking a clearly Libertarian stance but ok... even rule by mob is authoritative by the mob in a sense.

@niclas

> You can't have "exercised by [the people] directly or indirectly through a system of representation" without in principle violate "freedom of any given individual", and to me that is "forcing the will"...

You can, and we do. The electorial college is an example of that, it ensures that most disseperate cultures and their regions have some agreement on votes... it isnt purely majority based (you need to get close to a majority but can win even without one)... but also is fairly balanced so fringe ideas cant win either.

It is a prime example of democracy that is not a simple majority.

@Darkayne

@feld

Ok well thats one way to show you have little information about what you are talking about.

Ron Paul hasnt been on a presidential ticket since the 80s.... If we want most popular/famous I'd look to the presidential candidates they put forwrd as that represents the accepted norm of the whole of the party (Ron as a senator only represents the views of a small district).

So Jo Jorgenson or Gary Johnson would be the two most recent and most modern representatives of the party.

Neither look very similar to the GOP in their views.

As to answer your question and how Jo and Libertarians as a whole tend to differ fromt he GOP well here are some examples of that (some are Jo's policies and the parties:

* Jo was for more open borders, wanting to remove immigration quotas reregulate the borders to allow immigrants easier access to come here.

* Jo and most libertarians are adamatly against Trump's border wall

* Jo opposes the war on drug

Just a few examples off the cuff.
