Makes sense. COVID-19 shows how little people care about liberty and freedom.

Put some scary images on tv and tell people meemaw might die and suddenly everyone wants everything except walmart shut down by the gov't.

It only makes sense if you're a sheep.

How so? Why bother fighting for an ideology that nobody respects or believes in?

Makes more sense to try and gain the authoritarian power than simply ignore it and pretend people care in freedom. COVID restrictions and shutdowns has been a near complete refutation of the viability of libertarianism.

" Why bother fighting for an ideology that nobody respects or believes in? "

You mean like freedom? Why bother when you can just go along with the sheeple herd to get along - and when they slaughter you there will be nothing left to worry about.

LOL. The sheeple will NEVER gain power from authoritarians.

" COVID restrictions and shutdowns has been a near complete refutation of the viability of libertarianism. "

This makes zero sense. A manufactured complete global collapse does not refute liberty.

You're employing the worst logic in the world to defend your groupthink and cowardice - possibly for the benefit of the readers, especially if you're shilling.

First off, use ">" at the beginning to quote properly

You mean like freedom?

Yes, I mean freedom. The majority of people dont care about it, has COVID not taught you this? Why bother arguing for freedom when nobody wants it? Better to argue for your preferred flavor of authoritarianism. Seems more likely than your preferred vague state of libertarianism thats never going to come to fruition.

This makes zero sense. A manufactured complete global collapse does not refute liberty.

Yes it does. The govt got a few doctors to come out and say that meemaw might catch the coof and die and everyone fucking surrendered their rights and freedom. People do not value this freedom you speak of. They're willing to give up their entire way of life for a death rate like 2.5x as deadly as the flu. COVID has shown that the public will drop liberty for """security""" at the drop of a hat.

especially if you're shilling.

Stop repeating trendy words you say on twitter dot com. You're using them wrong.
