When I was a naive teenager.

I don't disagree with certain libertarian principles, such as the rights to freedom of expression, or right to consume drugs, the right to adhere to whatever religion you want etc.

I was sympathetic to it when I was a teen since they seemed better than neocons and social liberals on most issues, I never could get fully behind the unfettered capitalism part though which was what pushed me towards the radical left in my senior year.

For like 3 months or so, watching youtube memesters some 6 years ago. always leaned left though.

Nope, however I did used to be a classic liberal.

When you get into it for bourgeois morality rather than right-wing conspiracies of a world government built around global warming it's a lot easier to get out.

No, im not american.

That's what I'm doing. Assuming you can get a visa go for it, it's pretty simple to get a job.

Useful. Thank you

He wasn't a good person. Can you not read, friend?

It just sounded the most freedom-y, so I figured I'd start there. Then I learned about property.

what about people who are self employed?

Does baby still need an ideology to tell him what his fundamental rights are?

nice argument.

When I started getting into politics I was
