The essence of freedom is the proper limitation of government.

LMAO I got about a minute in when I shut it off. Talk about a dishonest and misinformed to attempt to make one side look rosier than the other.

Also, considering you liken the people of the USA being akin to employees of the president it’s hard for me to believe you want more limited government

 

[GromsDad]

Try again. This time try to piece together a meaningful thought.

Not at all from the title. Where they got it wrong is using one plane to describe governments/political thought rather than the more accurate X-Y version

 

[manbearpig]

There’s obviously a little more to it than the title, hence what I said is not wrong.

The talking points of the video aside, if people are worried that Trump will kill us all the most effective protection against that would be to dial the powers down that go with the office. The legislature makes laws, not the POTUS and not the SCOTUS.

president /= king.

Let's start with a properly elected government.

We've been pretty much an oligarchy for the past 20 years.

So... Somalia, with no functioning government to speak of, is therefore the most free country?

I had a coworker once who ran for Congress on the Libertarian ticket. I asked him to describe any application of Libertarian philosophies in first-world countries that worked out well; he admitted he couldn't.

Without law there can be no freedom.

Without government there can be no law.

There's a big difference between Objectivist Libertarians and Anarchists.

That's like saying Norway is the same as Pol Pot's Cambodia

This is true.

Libertarianism is not Anarchism

No, it's picking and choosing which rules suit you.

Instead of having laws that work for everybody.

So with Libertarianism, who decides with laws are just and which are unjust?

You seem to have libertarianism confused with anarchy. In libertarianism laws are based on minding your own business and not harming others. If you're not bothering anyone else nobody should bother you. There are still laws but the laws are limited in scope.
