it always annoyed me a bit. it never even made sense in the american context. america is an empire with a strong central state apparatus since the whiskey rebellion. stop LARPing.

obviously his replacement is a pure shill. that's not 'better.' however, massie was more or less the last actual stalwart of the whole ron paul scene (even paul's own kid has backed away from that stuff over time). it was always a silly affectation, and it doesn't work in practice.

Libertarians are completely retarded faggots but I do find it darkly(?) amusing that their "the government and taxation are literally just Evil" shtick ended up being probably the most consistently correct "political philosophy" of our lifetime
I don't think any other approach to American "politics" has been so completely vindicated. Unfortunately this approach does not gain or coalesce power in practice, so it's totally ineffective beyond being correct in principle

modern libertarianism has always felt very EVASIVE to me, and therefore either silly or cowardly, depending on circumstance. "just reduce the 'size' of government, bro!" - as though that's an actual available policy choice.
no. obviously not. the american imperium has been a structural reality for decades at this point. if your goal is not to CAPTURE state power and use that power toward the reshaping of the imperium, it means you intend to capture that power then give it away to other interests.
that's not a serious outlook on governance. it's dilettantism. and dilettantes annoy me.

Yeah, that's why I called them retarded faggots. They refuse to engage with reality. Cowardly and pretentious is probably a better way to put it
I just think it's funny that they ended up being "right." Like what has Trump actually gotten "us." Nothing permanent, nothing truly helpful that won't just be reversed as soon as libs control the government again
What would have actually been effective would have getting DOGE to work and really throwing weight behind it. To this day I think it was the biggest actual win of this Trump admin. Every few days I see some new thing on Twitter where someone discovered some insanely evil and ridiculous thing that USAID was funding and organizing. The stuff that DOGE succeeded in gutting actually did make a permanent difference, unlike anything else this admin has done
In that way, libertarians have been proven pretty correct in their belief that government is just The Enemy, period

it was always completely retarded and the fact that 10% of 'Ron Paul's or Massie's politics aligned with an actual based POV never changed that.
Get Massie off the topics of AIPAC and Epstein and the nefariousness of World Jewry (solid positions), and he was a completely retarded dorm-room Ayn Randoid.
