    The only way for libertarianism to work is if every human had only good intentions. Since that’s simply never going to happen libertarianism will never work. Just my opinion feel free to disagree.

    The difference is that they think that gatekeeping poor people from services in order to bring costs down for everyone else is valid. I’ve seen libertarians argue that the solution to tuition and healthcare being expensive is to stop helping poor people, because that will drive demand down and lower prices for people who can already afford it. I’ve seen libertarians argue that the solution to people scalping groceries is to let grocery stores price gouge. Their solutions only ever involve helping people who don’t need help at the expense of people who do. Libertarianism is “me, me, me right now now now” dressed up in fancy language. It’s the political philosophy of a tumor.

    As far as I can tell, the ones with money want a free hand to do whatever they want to others without repercussion, and the ones without money are willfully drinking the Kool Aid and being led around by the nose philosophically.

    So central banks are printing money left and right, controlling the market winners, controlling interest rates, short and long ends of the yield curve, inflation, and my testicles, and you call it a “free” market?

    Genuine question. Are you stupid genetically or did you learn being stupid from your environment like every teenager around here who don’t understand shit in the economy?

        Angry? Dude I’m laughing my ass off! You’re complaining all the time on Lemmy how you’re broke and are failures. It’s you who are angry, and I’m laughing at you day and night! I enjoy watching you falling, broke and powerless. Lovely! Keep up your ignorance, entitlement and dumb ideologies, and my children will step on yours like cockroaches with wealth and power. I love it!

        You wanna cry a little more that you can’t buy a home? Go ahead! But God forbid you read a book and learn what yield curve control means… hahahahahahaha!

    The market isn’t free, there’s a ton of restrictions and policies that benefit large corporations while making it very difficult for new companies to make any headway against their competition
