libertarians love when the government tread on others.

These are the same people saying China is authoritarian because tiananmen square where some guy famously DID NOT get run over by a tank.
Libertarianism: "There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect (And I should be the in-group)"
I knew a "libertarian" who immediately went full fascist during the BLM riots because he said "people don't know how to behave."
He also didn't think gay people should have kids.
He's spent the last 5 years posting anti-woke memes weekly.
Absolute freedom lover.
I forget where the quote is from, maybe Jakarta Method? But it talks about how reactionary types view freedom as "the right of powerful men to do as they please, even to hurt others."
I've heard someone on here or left-twittersphere say reactionaries view the law as a constraining of others but a freeing of themselves, which overlaps with your quote. I definitely think there's something to it.
Well yeah, that’s Barry Obama’s step dad; who shows up in Jakarta Method.
Not the quote you're thinking of, but Lenin said something similar:
Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.
Well yeah, it's Don't Tread on Me.
Don't? Tread on me!
Tread on THEM!
Isn't that typical rightwing hypocrisy? As in: the in-group needs to be protected by the law but not bound an vice versa for the out-group. The double standard is not a contradiction, it's the point.
Right wingers are horrible people ,grass is green ,the sky is blue and water is wet
Only one of these is false and it’s not the first one
The grass is not green. We killed a part of our lawn, it's more yellowish...
The sky is not blue. If it's evening and things are right it's more red.
Water is not wet. Unless it can also be dry?
2 dialectical 4 u
"Don't tread on me, only tread on thee."
Don't try to physically block cars people... throw crushed up spark plugs at their windshields instead
You don't understand, it's all the protestors fault for letting ICE get them to fight back....
Most normal world take
The government should be small, so it can't oppress us with things like driver's licenses and traffic laws, but not too small that it doesn't have the capacity to do important tasks like disappearing innocent people for crossing imaginary lines.
