Have always voted third party ever since Ron Paul ran in 08. I just don't see anything in my principles that we both agree in. Sure he says some populist stuff that is kind of like candy that will make you feel good but suck later on, I honestly think Gary Johnson is the best choice for president and Holla Forums should vote for him so the GOP swings more to a libertarian stance than a populist stance.
Anyone else feel this way? Feels like libertarian culture is gone from chan boards or everyone that thought like me left.
The pointless trivia question? How does that make him retarded? I don't want my president to know pointless trivia just stand on his libertarian principles.

Gary Johnson isn't even Libertarian, he's the biggest Liberteen there is

OP, important question here.
What makes Gary Johnson a Libertarian?
Gabriel Jackson
this always makes me laugh
huh? They are complete opposites, his platform will lead to more freedom in the end and the destruction of the FED. How is that close to clinton?
Ayden Sanchez
End the war on drugs, No Taxes, No foreign intervention, free internet and will protect free speech.
Tyler Moore
I won't try to sway you too much, OP, but I'd recommend that you check out the Freakonomics podcast from about a week or so ago that they did on Libertarianism in the US; Johnson was actually even on the episode. He seems more like a liberal who just goes by another name in a lot of regards.
I don't mean to go full autism here but god damnit, Holla Forums, there is no "a" in the word border. Loser does not have two o's in it, women is plural not singular, etc. I just see this shit all the time and it drives me nuts.
Julian Morgan
Libertarianism is simply no longer viable. It was a peace offering to the global powers, to say "fuck off, leave us alone, and we'll fuck off too and leave you alone" They didn't accept that, and now here we are. The libertarian culture you're talking about was probably propagated by a lot of the people who are still here, but have moved on from it because it's too flaccid.
Principles are only ever good in principle
Zachary Johnson
He hasn't said shit about the fed, Gary Johnson is a fucking establishment shill who got into the Libertarian Party Maybe Austin or fuck even McAfee might be ok but Johnson has done nothing but pander to Sander and Hillary supporters

Gary Johnson is a literal fucking moron. Seriously, have you watched and town halls or interviews he's done. He's the poster child for why marijuana should not be legal. Plus, his vice presidential nominee is a deep state stooge and has espoused some of the most un-libertarian rhetoric I have ever heard.
Jayden Roberts

Dylan Perez
Libertarianism is basically empty platitudes with no actual value. It's an ideology that can inherently only exist in a white ethno-state, because non-whites statistically NEVER are for it when you account for regression to the mean through genetics.
It's like saying you want to swim in your back yard, but you don't believe in putting water in the pool. You need the water. Once you have the water, you need to protect it. Once you are valuing and protecting the water, it really doesn't matter if you swim or lounge, having the water is the important part.
Libertarians are basically laying at the bottom of an empty pool "on principle." Keep dog paddling faggot, you're more delusional than most trannies.
Lucas Sanders
Quite a few philosophers of the persuasion came to a conclusion and yet only touched upon it to return to their economic masturbation. They had no way of creating, and then enforcing, the world as they wished it. Some suggested limited fascism, but only in short remarks.
The world libertarians envision is a utopia, in the original context. It is entirely physically feasible, but all customs that occur must be lemiscate, deriving from themselves. You think Mississippi is going to up and drop welfare for a free market solution? That cities with municipal power and public access television will sell off to the highest bidder? What is to protect capitalism from becoming consumed by corporate monopolies? What of culture? What is the point of capitalism when it isn't the best answer? I have visited many places that are prosperous and beautiful because they chose to not pursue profit. Small towns and cultured cities, loving families and generational farms. This is why libertarianism has dissolved on Holla Forums, for it has no good answers to shield the good things in life. It is the serving of one master, profit, and to pretend otherwise is like a Bernie supporter denying links to Marxism. Either he is a fool or a liar.
So tell me user, what does libertarianism say of a man's soul? Of society's purpose? From whence does authority issue, and why does it matter that it be respected? What in libertarianism defends me and mine from caustic outside influence? What story shall be told that will take our cities of wood and turn them to cities of marble?
When a day of uncivil conflict arrives, why shouldn't I put you against the wall with the marxists and the anarchists? Your words are different, but the reality of your ends is the same.

Honestly, I agree with a lot of what the Libertarian party stands for, and if Johnson was pro-life, I'd vote for him happily. Unfortunately, I can't get past the whole "let women kill their own babies" thing. Trump is the most pro-life of those running, so I have to go with him. I very much respect the Libertarian ideals of avoiding government spending wherever possible.

The current Libertarian Party has problems, namely the open borders and international free trade fags, but the foundation is solid.
Centralized government will always drift left. Any institution that attracts beauracrats and rent-seekers will always drift left, because that's how (((Leftists))) work. They aren't productive by nature, they're subversive. They infilitrate succesful institutions as entryists, and then once they have a critical mass of like-minded people they consolidate power and begin filtering out wrongthinkers.
We've seen it happen in academia. We've seen it in government. The more powerful and more centralized an institution is, the fewer checks and balances it has, the more susceptible it is to the Left.
Gary Johnson is a fruitcake, but they aren't all like that.

The central ideas of libertarianism allow for the corruption to become endemic. Else how has the body of the self ascribed not grown? How is it that our country has slipped so throroughly away? It is so well sectioned off into its economic beliefs these days that it is useless. If there was any fire in the belly of the party, any merit left in its ideas in the modern context, and reason for it to persist then why does it now fail? Convince me motherfucker. I don't even like Trump, but the joke of a candidate proposed here is beyond a doubt a worse choice. That the party voted for him is laughable. That this occured and you say he is not like most is foul.

Abe Lincoln went to war with the Jacksonian-Jeffersonian coalition, crippled their industries, and then unleashed millions of freed slaves on them so the South was fucked. The Federal Gov't has been growing unabated and the country progressively more pozzed ever since.
50 years after the war when the Right was recovering, the Northern States pushed through the 19th Amendment. Women are natural leftists because they have a maternal communal ethic, so the cause of Liberty is pushed back again.
Another 50 years after that they force Southern States to give uneducated, white-hating blacks the right to vote in our communities. Around the same time they change immigration laws to flood the country with their pet minorities from central america. Around the same time they reform welfare laws so the non-whites will never develop past the infantile stage and will always be reliant on the Federal teat and vote in the progressives.
The democratic process has been twisted, cheated, and broken at every step of the way by progressives. It didn't just slip in through the legitimate process. Maybe Liberty-minded people failed in letting the Left get this far, but you can't fault them for not fighting when we lost a good 3% of our population in the war. But the fact is we've been outnumbered by cucks since the beginning and it's only gotten worse.

I was honestly torn between voting for Stein or Trump, but after Obongo said voting third party or not voting at all is a vote for Trump, I will vote Trump 200% to symbolically tell him to fuck off.

listen OP, I am libertarian like you. But Gary Johnson is literally retarded. Every time that guy opens his mouth he makes it more difficult for me to vote for him. Ron Paul was the greatest libertarian politician we'll ever get in our lifetime, its all downhill from here.

I know this is unpopular, but I still do hold on to more than a few libertarian views, especially regarding weedlmao, free speech, and small government.
That said, Gary Johnson is an effeminate, social-signaling, politically correct cuck faggot. Trump is the clearly superior choice who will protect the very white tribal value of liberty by outlawing the shitskin hordes who want to strip you of both liberty and wealth. What matters right now is survival, sometimes protecting your own freedom involves destroying the freedom of others. In our case, mestizos and negros

The last chance for an actual libertarian was Ron Paul, and we all know how that went. Johnson's an ex-cuckservative not a libertarian. On top of all that he's just a silly dude. And not in the funny kind of way, more in the cringy talk-to-reporter-with-tongue-sticking-out and get-triggered-at-mention-of-illegals-being-called-illegal sort of way. If you want to be edgy and nihilistic you can throw away your vote if you want.

Noah Bailey
I never said I was a fan of democracy. Democracy is an inherently flawed system that allows people like Hillary Clinton to actually have a chance at leading a major nation. The average American voter is an idiot. I don't mean to sound edgy when I say that, but consider that the average voter doesn't truly understand politics and simply goes and votes for whatever candidate their preferred media source backs or whatever their friends and family vote for. In some cases, they vote for candidates and issues simply because their union backs them. Have you ever seen signs like 'Vote No on Issue 2' and wondered what Issue 2 even was or if the people with those signs truly know? I think a republic would be a much better alternative. You give some minor control to the average voter, but there are safety checks in place that prevent serious harm to the country. Furthermore, A new constitution that explicitly states the limits of the governing body and the meaning behind every passage if necessary. That way there can be no debate
Brody Wright
and would faggotry and nonwhites or nonwhite immigration be allowed in your ideal society? If not, how would you reconcile that with libertarian principles?
Jacob Diaz
Basically there's no way you can define the rights enough. The second amendment is preeeetty fucking clear about owning firearms and yet they still find ways to penetrate it so they can dissolve it from within.
Gabriel Ross

Anthony Howard
this is something I still wrestle with honestly. There is no denying that a libertarian society would be healthier and more feasible if those types were eradicated from this world. Can a libertarian society still exist and function with those sorts of people? Maybe. There would be extreme difficulties, though. The problem the founding fathers created when they drafted our current constitution is that they gave it too much ability to change. They were so hung up on governments becoming oppressive regimes that they gave the constitution flexibility so that the people could change the government as time passed. The issue is, this literally helps change the government into something that is nothing like what it was supposed to be. So to also answer I think a new constitution would have to be more rigid and not easily modifiable
It was fun defending my autism with you all, but I'm going to sleep now. If the thread is still up tomorrow and wasn't nuked by hotpockets, I'll come back and continue to defend

Of course Paul got no traction, because he ran in the Cuckservative primaries. Trump also couldn't break into politics before last year. The Republican establishment was too strong and there were no viable third parties since the Reforms disintegrated.
Now the Republicans are falling apart and the Libertarian party is well established. Dudeweed Johnson is a clown, but who knows, next time they could have a real shot if they can find a strong candidate.

simply not true, because the only values that Trump brings are the hopes for prosperity and anti-globalism. He shares little of the same libertarian principles that Ron fought for for generations.

I hate attaching labels to myself like "Libertarian" or even "National Socialist"
However, you expect Holla Forums to support Gary Johnson – a candidate who openly promotes completely open borders (muh free market) and refugees along with opposing all forms of deportations for illegals because that would mean big government?
White people are rapidly becoming a minority in every country we inhabit. I was a "Libertarian" four years ago and supported Ron Paul, whom I still respect, but lolberg policies have absolutely failed us and the white race across the world.

All republics, democracies, "free societies," anything that has at its base the foundations of classical liberalism will always drift left. It happened in Rome, it happened every single time after Rome as well.
The only thing that can actually combat leftward drift is firm and explicit opposition to liberalism. The only way possible to instil this in a population is through government (Whether, Spartan-esque military tradition, absolutism, fascism, classical tyranny, what have you)

Anyone that thinks Johnson is a decent candidate is either a jew, or a moron.
Such opposition must also be ingrained into the culture, as a government which is divorced from culture is as meaningless as culture which is divorced from traditionalism.
Leo Sanders
Good. Fuck off lolberg scum.
Ron Paul: "Libertarianism is the enemy of all racism"
"Libertarian is the enemy of all racism, because racism is a collectivist idea. Its that, you put people in category, you say "Well blacks belong here, and whites here, and women here", but we don't see people in forms, or, uh, or gays, you don't have rights because you're gays or women or minority, you have rights because you're an individual. So we see people strictly as individuals, and we get these individuals in a natural way, so its exactly opposite of all collectivism, and its absolutely anti-racism, because we don't see it in those terms."
Ron Paul: I have always made it clear, and will continue to do so, that my message is based on the rights of all people to be treated equally. Any type of racism or anti-Semitism is incompatible with my philosophy. Ludwig von Mises, the great economist whose writing helped inspire my political career, was a Jew who was forced to leave his native Austria to escape the Nazis.
> Therefore, for me to advance anti-Semitism in any way would be a betrayal of my own intellectual heritage.

I want socialized medicine roads, airports and railways. But I don't want to go full commie mode. Only certain things should be socialized. I want to legalize pot but instigate public floggings for public acts of degeneracy like being stoned, drunk, or being an insufferable faggot in public. Libertarianisam just does not cut it for me.

Libertarianism is a sort of stepping stone away from liberalism. It defines a sort of social contract which neither denies nor implies the exclusionary aspects against which modern liberalism is so firmly set. However, ultimately it is nothing more than the worthless semantics of materialists with no regard for the values which truly underlie the social contract responsible for European civilization (and since all other civilization is derived from that…): hierarchy, responsibility, and nobility. Any system not based on those values isn't even worth considering.

That's why it's shit and doomed to dissolution. Liberty and liberalism are similar for a reason. The noble man embodies his duties; the ignoble man begs for the liberty to shirk his responsibilities. The future of the US is Balkanization into White colonies which look to the European homeland for identity, vast swathes of wasteland inhabited by degenerates and subhumans, and hive cities inhabited by degenerates and subhumans. Fascism will be the order of the day and anarchy the sad state of the rest.
Americanism, that is, seeking for an identity which is independent of Europa, is lethal folly. It is an invitation to all those who MUST be excluded for the stability of civilization.
Ryder White
I see the shills are already here, and have already been retarded enough to expose themselves. Johnson wants to open the border, and give more rights to minorities thus taking away rights from the majority (whites according to ((them))) So he's basically Hillary except instead of being a puppet he legitimately believes what he's doing is right.
Trump is the only candidate worth voting for. Johnson needs to overdoes on all the drugs he's trying to legalize.
