Libertarians tend to be obsessed with lowering the age of consent lol. You sound confused.

The current strain of libertarianism in the “west” does seem to have an issue at some point when it comes to this topic.
PopOfAfrica@lemmy.one 9 months ago
At least with the political compass, libertarianism is simply the southern two quadrants.
Not that it has anything to do with this comment, just wanted to clarify that the notion of “western libertarians” is likely a misunderstanding.

please reconsider deriving your politics from reactionary memes

Its a descriptive tool. As such, its is both as meaningful and arbitrary. As all other made up words and concepts.
I think the important part is that it helped explain my ideology in less words than a drawn out online screed

You cut our the part where the commenter equated libertarianism to pedophilia, which as I said, was exemplary of hexbear behavior.
Are you a libertarian? What do you think about age of consent laws?

Why on Earth would I dignify that comment?

It’s a pretty common joke for libright people

Ill just leave my linked attaches. I think it speaks for itself, and the degradation in the quality of Lemmy as a whole.

I stand by Lemmy.ones belief in allowing conflicting values. Thats why im here. Hexbear can be as communist as it wants. I too an a communist.
What is not OK is the toxicity of hexbear. It degrades the experience.

Where’s the lie?
You had a bad experience on hexbear because noone wants to discuss your ‘libertarian progressive brand of communism’, so now your entire instance needs to defederate?
PopOfAfrica@lemmy.one 9 months ago
What do you mean by where’s the lie? That libertarianism is pedophilia?
Elaborate if I misread

I’ve yet to meet a self ascribed libertarian that didn’t have some weird ideas about the age of consent.
Anyway, you were posting in a hexbear comm, stop trying to make others do the work for you and just chill maybe.

Don’t people of a Chomsky-type bent sometimes self-describe as libertarian? It’s less common in the US because of how libertarians here are usually right-wingers but the libertarians=pedophiles trope is less common abroad is my understanding. I usually peg them as more anarchist types, which usually are welcome in hexbear.
Not super into this one wanting to defend NATO but I think they have a point about the pedo stuff.

Thats what Im taking about. You arent helping your point. And you are now in my community, so if we are in agreement, then you can stop commenting here while we engage in healthy. discourse.
This has nothing do with politics. As your image helpfully shows, Im a libertarian communist. Our ideals are quite close.
But, as I posted, hexbear behavior is unbecoming and unwelcoming. That’s why hexbear should be defederated, as that is the culture there most unfortunately.
