How do they think this, when virtually all social media simps for the Left?

Please dont delete!!! Ive googled (and brave'd) the heck outta this and can not find it anywhere.....

Ive seen these almost every election year..... chart showing different candidates and their all their different beliefs on the top 100 or so issues. Anybody have a link for a decent one of these.

*Specifically* looking for summary or overview graph/chart/table format. Would love it if it contained all national candidates, not just presidency. Congressmen, VP's, Governors, the more the better

I have to ask again in light of certain events.

Would you vote for Trump if he promised to appoint Ron Paul as Federal Reserve Chairman?

Hello everyone, so I'm gonna take some time to explain what I mean by this, so for some context, I'm currently very confused where I stand politically, I originally thought I was just Republican, but I realize now a lot of my beliefs align with Libertarianism. Here are my personal beliefs, I believe in gun rights, I'm okay with abortion and okay with LGBT rights, not for or against, and I'd say I have some socially liberal traits, and I'm mostly conservative fiscally, like libertarians are.

I like the libertarian belief that as long as you're not hurting anyone or being a bad influence, then you should be free to do what you want without government intervention, however this is with some caveats that I do think society should be held to certain standards of civility, such as trying to be respectful, considering how others feel, and overall just contributing to the world in a positive way. My thing is, even though I'm more Republican and right wing, there are still some things about me that aren't exactly Republican, such as my social views on certain things because of my beliefs.

So can I have libertarian views while voting Republican? How do most libertarians vote? And would it be un-libertarian to support trump? What do libertarians at their core really believe in, in general? And with all this considered could I be labeled as a libertarian Republican?

I guess what I'm saying here is I'm a bit lost and confused as to what I can label my main beliefs as, and I'm just looking to have someone more knowledgeable than me maybe explain or help me with my questions, all responses are appreciated 👍🏻

In english you say taxation is theft but in german you probably would rather say "Steuern sind Raub" Taxes are Robbery. Or do libertarians rather think that taxes are "just theft" but not robbery ?

How would a libertarian have dealt with the Cold War with the Soviet Union?

Proverbs 29-4 "By justice a king builds up his land, but he who exacts gifts (taxes) tears it down."

Sadly, this didn't keep Solomon from being a dictator in most other instances, turning Israel into a rabbinical theocracy, or keep Jewish/Christian kings in the future from taxing the heck out of their people, but it is encouraging they had at least some idea about how stupid taxes are.

I couldn't stop thinking about Baki when I saw the news so have this projection of my mental processes.

I just found out that Albania abolished personal income tax and is socialist. I find this interesting because often time I hear people say that socialism has high taxes. I wanted to get y’all’s thoughts on this. I don’t know pretty much anything about Albania so I wondering if you guys even consider what it does to be socialist in nature. I want to know more about Albania but don’t really know where to start.

Most Republicans say the shooter donated to Democrats.

Most Democrats say the shooter was registered as a Republican.

Most Libertarians simply acknowledge people vote in each others primaries.

Respect for not being blinded by hatred and inconsequential bullshit.

Hey all!

Mostly libertarian here with a conservative belief or two. States rights, commerce, gay rights, guns, monetary policy, religious liberty and, non-interventionism are all issues I think we win on.

The main libertarian belief I can’t get on board with is legalization of drugs (non weed drugs).

I get the individual act of smoking meth doesn’t hurt anyone. However, in the area I live in 95% of the abuse and neglect child cases have a meth link. A vast vast majority of the property crime is linked to people trying to steal stuff to get high or because they are high. The person crime is much of the same story, people being high and doing stuff to others. Plus all the money spent on emergency rooms and medical related costs for users.

Again I see how the act in and of itself it’s a personal one but the secondary consequences are so clearly linked to drugs and are so substantial.

Open to thoughts or take it just as one man’s opinion.

I also think politically it’s a major lose issues because of how many people don’t like drugs. It makes it difficult for voters to take us seriously when someone argues it’s okay for someone to shoot heroin. I think conservatizing (new word) the drug issue would open up a lot of voters and make it a more viable third party.

Thanks for your time

«Nozick claims that a requirement to pay taxes is on a par with slavery»

In most countries there is no «requirement to pay taxes», paying taxes is a totally voluntary option: for example I don’t pay the high taxes of Sweden by the simple device of not going to live in Sweden. There is a market in levels of taxations and people can purchase the citizenship of the country that best suits their level of taxation preference.

«Most people cannot purchase citizenship of any country»

For a proper libertarian that kind of “positive” liberty does not matter: for a libertarian if you could have the surgery that saves your life but can’t afford it, that’s your problem not the collective problem of ensuring that you have the freedom to have such surgery if you can afford it. If the jackbooted thugs of the government do not prevent you from choosing something else, then you are free, regardless of whether you can afford to choose something else.

Unreal!

Any suggestions for deep dive and well researched YouTube channels that go into secrets of the Deep State, the FBI, the CIA, the military industrial complex, corruption and collusion between government and corporations, etc.

For instance, would the Government only exist to protect fundamental constitutional rights? How much involvement would it have on people’s lives directly? What about its role in relation to diplomacy, world issues, the environment, etc?

I’m trying to conceptualize the idea of what life would be like. As well as trying to find ideas which would give me more insight. I know the political spectrum test isn’t perfect, but I tend to fall in the middle or right libertarianism.

My idea would be something along the lines of the first sentence in this post. I feel like the Fed’s only role is to protect and guarantee our natural rights. And maybe more green minded roles to reduce pollution, and a military to only defend our borders, not jump into international affairs. I’m big into decriminalization of all non-violent crimes, and an absolute free market.

Curious to hear other perspectives.

I see it as a moralistic collectivist authoritarianism that lies at the root of the right and left wing in opposition to classical liberalism or libertarianism. A desire to impose their own moralistic vision, a practice of seeing society as composed of collectives rather than individuals, and an authoritarianism
