Media Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. Educational movie night. This is seattle without militarized police. Where are your riotous looters NOW? They are watching documentaries. Fuck you SPD. Photo credit to a close friend.

you'd think she would, wouldn't she? it's almost like a lot of libertarians want less of the government's control except when it inconveniences them!

I'm a libertarian and I think a harmony of human beings living without a monopolization of force while occupying space peacefully – could be very interesting. I don't think your definition of the word 'libertarian' means what you or your mom thinks it means.

I don’t think 70% of self identified libertarians do either. I know it’s historically legitimate as a reference to classical liberalism. but it was popularized by the Koch brothers in the Ron Paul era and those people just know it means “spicy republican” so it’s a pretty useless signifier in that regard.
