In Argentina, President Javier Milei has screwed the economy up so badly he needs a $20 billion bailout. That’s because his “free market” economics don’t actually work.

    Libertarians do care about freedom … their own personal freedom … and it doesn’t matter to them if it costs the freedoms of others

    It’s a selfish mentality where they believe that they should have all the ultimate freedom to do whatever they please, regardless if it hurts, degrades or destroys anyone’s or everyone’s freedoms.

      Most of the self professed ‘libertarians’ that I have met are basically people who think they will be one of the warlords when the fall comes. They are of course sadly mistaken.

        The top three priorities of a true libertarian are I, Me, Mine.

        All of the self-styled “libertarians” I know are simply looking for an excuse to not pay taxes.

    For all the “tHiS dOeSn’T mEaN MiLeI iS fAiLiNg” commenters out there:

    Milei is a pimp selling his people’s arse to the highest bidder. The highest bidder happens to have friends in high places that guarantee that some Argentinian arse can be cashed at the expense of US american taxpayer money…

    Keep coping.

    The US is the most communist country in the world. It’s literally a bunch of dudes spending someone elses money while redirecting it to their pocket. It would make Stalin jealous!
