She didn’t call herself a libertarian and explicitly said she isn’t
And North Korea calls its self democratic. Yet we don’t call it a democracy. No, we define these categories by what they are/do/believe in/etc… and like it or not, Ayn Rand’s Objectivism is 100% a component of libertarian ideology, Ayn Rand’s beliefs are very much a core component of Libertarianism, and i’m sorry to inform you that many on that list of yours ARE libertarians, such as Milei. In the same way the Marx&Hegel were a cornerstone of communism.
But you are correct about Zelenskyy, he is not libertarian.
Bullshit. You might also want to think who’s “we” and what externalia does giving that “we” an ability to “put limits on these things” possess.
Standard Libertarian response that basically ignores the existence of anything outside the individual
Also, from the person who you believe isn’t a Libertarian: The source of the government’s authority is “the consent of the governed.” This means that the government is not the ruler, but the servant or agent of the citizens; it means that the government as such has no rights except the rights delegated to it by the citizens for a specific purpose. -Ayn Rand, Galt’s Speech.
A government is large scale organized violence and warlords. Spoken just like Rand herself! “Only a government holds that power. The nature of governmental action is: coercive action. The nature of political power is: the power to force obedience under threat of physical injury—the threat of property expropriation, imprisonment, or death.” The Virtue of Selfishness “The Nature of Government,” The Virtue of Selfishness, again Ayn Rand.

I find it interesting, so many proponents of Libertarianism don’t realize that the limits we put on these things they want to exist to stop people from creating neo-feudal fiefdoms.
Yes, Ayn Rand IS a Libertarian, yes the end result of Libertarianism is a government that is too weak to oppose any organized violence.
If a government is too weak to stop large scale organized violence you get warlords, of some form, in the modern case it’s whoever has the most wealth to found the largest private army.
But hey, your not too far off the mark with the whole Nazi bit, after all the word Privatize was invented to describe what the Nazis did with state property.

No, the Current U.S. Government along with the Uber rich backing don’t want to be China, they want to Collapse America and bring about a “libertarian Utopia” where you have an uncountable collection of private kingdoms owned by whoever has the money to run the “private security” of these areas.
They looked at the company towns of the 1800s and saw a moral good, and like basically everything thy do, they have openly claimed as such, but everyone ignores it, just like project 2025 in the USA, The Leaked AFD papers in Germany, the UK Leavers, etc…

I mean, that’s assuming you can afford an electric car

but the BILD owned magazine so nicely spread the propaganda
- Comment on Germany hits 62.7% renewables in 2024 energy mix, with solar contributing 14% 7 months ago:
why would market electricity prices have any relation to what you pay on your power bill? turns out that companies will charge whatever they know they can, regardless of the cost of acquiring something to sell, should the cost of something be more than they know they can sell it for, they just won’t sell it.
The idea that market prices influence what you pay for something is basically one of the main lies of supply side economics.

you say this, and NASA completely disagrees about the problem of junk in LEO, all well before Mr.MAGA-MC-Slavemines started adding to the problem
you know it’s difficult who to trust, the man who caused several deaths after he had the warning striped removed due to his dislike of yellow, or NASA
- Comment on Nostalgia and remake culture 9 months ago:
fuck is “advancing culture” exactly? honest question, because the idea of culture advancing is a farce, it changes yes, but advancing is some constructionist idea that always draws from some authoritarian colonialist bullshit, example, the “advanced European culture” vs “the primitive non-Europeans”
- Comment on Nostalgia and remake culture 9 months ago:
nah, Hollywood defines culture more than you seem to accept.
- Comment on Star Citizen devs report drying funds, micromanagement, overspending, and episodic release for Squadron 42 9 months ago:
I wouldn’t say running through, I did see it while looking at other stuff tho
and yes, a time span to your liking, because you clearly don’t actually care about any of the work they are doing, so by your definition anything you see that’s not already done the first time you see it is a scam that should get someone tossed in jail
- Comment on Star Citizen devs report drying funds, micromanagement, overspending, and episodic release for Squadron 42 9 months ago:
you called Ubisoft to be jailed because they dissolved your favorite game studios, also your entire basis in calling it a scam is it not being done in a time span to your liking, what else is this but a poor excuse for you to dogpile some hate on something other?
- Comment on Star Citizen devs report drying funds, micromanagement, overspending, and episodic release for Squadron 42 9 months ago:
I mean you don’t live on hype, neither do i, but you do live on hate, as someone else here already pointed out, in fact you seem to engaged by hating this game, and anyone who likes it, it seems unhealthy. idk, maybe do some introspection if the yearly star citizen clickbait makes you rage to this degree and consider not using the web for a while, and seeing the rest of your comments across the site only backs up this assessment.
you have called for people to be jailed due to not making the games you want, ffs
- Comment on Star Citizen devs report drying funds, micromanagement, overspending, and episodic release for Squadron 42 9 months ago:
but that’s not how it works is it, you can’t just super Sayan fusion two games now can you?
PS: about the criticism, this is literally the annual “SC bad” post from these publications, generally complete with random ass unnamed sources and others (when the guy lying to you based off conformable fake shit like a “work ID” as proof of employment is the better source, eg. Derek Smart)
- Comment on Star Citizen devs report drying funds, micromanagement, overspending, and episodic release for Squadron 42 9 months ago:
considering the amount of people already playing SC, I wouldn’t expect it to be on steam, but that’s also not what they said, is it?
must be the world’s worst scam if they are actually spending money to make something.

and of course oversaturating LEO, because while they will come down eventually, those dead satellites will stay up there for a decade or more in some cases
