I'm not libertarian and you don't need to troll. The question proposed is what would you do if you were POTUS, in other words if we had an alt-right government. Ending multiracialism would be far more important than your health tyranny.

Not necessarily. Being cryptofash is a viable tactic to pass an agenda.

I plan on entering politics, and believe it or not, it's probably going to be as a Democrat.

I know what the question proposed is and I'm giving my opinion on it. Reducing military expenditure and taking preventive action as a state to stop people from destroying their health by becoming obese are not mutually exclusive ideas. You can do both. Also I'm not just going to take say 300 billion dollars out of the military budget and just use that to treat people who have by their own decisions destroyed their health.

Also only an insane libertarian thinks preventative intervention in someone's life to stop them from bad behaviour that hurts themselves and more importantly their society is impinging upon their 'freedom'. You may not call yourself a libertarian but that's an idea that is fundamentally libertarian in its nature where personal liberty comes first and everything else be damned.

I wholeheartedly reject that kind of lunacy and it's the reason why libertarians are so irrelevant and fringe.
