Well an asphalt road is kind of like a really long oil spill

Most libertarians I know are just crybabies. They want the benefits of governance without the costs. In a libertarian society to have a 100 mile road, you would destroy your car every trip because there would be no single governing body to maintain it in a consistent manner. Sure we have road issues now, but every property line you cross would be a new road. And if john at mile 6 like cobblestone, its cobblestone, and you know keith at mile 23 is gonna charge a 42 dollar toll, kile (with an I not a Y and woke parents) doesn't believe asphalt and concrete are environmentally friendly, so mile 36 is made of soy and has long since been eaten by animals, paul at mile 52 is a dick and stores all his nails on his road, then Greg up at mile 99 he doesn't like people so he put boulders across his mile.

 These fools are just kid brains who want no government of someone else's, they want their government based on their current whim. Most of their arguments break down after a little long term logic.

 

I also forgot to mention, just like wiping your ass, it's best to not push too hard on a 2022 liberal, you'll just end up pushing through to a fingerful of shit.

Yeah, the nutjobs ruined that designation. I used to partially identify as libertarian, I don't do that anymore.

Well, maybe their thin skin needs some toughening up.  Everyone could use some more grit.

 

In my experience, those that feel compelled to “call out” people never affect positive change.  And frequently they harm themselves in the trying.  Becoming toxic themselves to those they are trying to shame/expose/coerce/educate/put down. 

 

What good does it do to tell some red necked construction worker that he is being racist?  I just avoid those with views I abhor.  And I try to teach by example.  But I never call anyone out.  At work, if they are my employee, I address the concern in private.  If they don’t change I fire them. 

 

Social justice warriors are idiots in my opinion.  They invent a noble cause with which to enshroud themselves while acting out in socially impolitic ways, a good reason, in their mind,  to be an anarchist.  Look at antifa and proud boys. 

 

Exact same people, doing the exact same things, for the exact same reasons.  The ONLY difference is some contrived battle line they are trying to advance.

You stirred the liberal hornets nest now, Chuck.

Weirdly opposite here.  My brothers are vocally alt-right.  All ex-military, all purport to be Christian.  One is dead from substance abuse and suffered a variety of mental health issues.  The surviving two are always broke, angry, and unhappy.  I feel like I have to tiptoe around them so they don’t fly off the handle about anything.

 

…..and I’m not at all “woke”.  I just know it’s not for me to pass judgement.

 

On the other hand, this is NY.  Maybe they feel like they’re the rebels fighting the evil liberal death star.  Maybe your kids in Utah feel like they’re the rebels fighting the evil Republican death star.

Woke, broke, in therapy and crazy unhappy. 

 

That is how I would describe some of my kids.

 

The alt right unwoke ones seem to have money and happiness. 

 

Never expected I would not be able to speak my mind at family dinners just to be able to still see some of my kids. 

Feel like I was convicted in absentia, thrown in the hole for a lifetime sentence, but taken out of solitary confinement now and then at their whims just so they could claim to have compassion on me for a half hour walk in the woods.  Maybe longer if I pay for dinner. 

 

Odd times....

I loved my parents and grandparents. 

Never felt they had to earn it. 

Never would have thought of condemning them for the things they said. 

 

Funny, I have a sister that lives 1000 miles from me.  Our families were separate all while the kids were growing.

But some of hers have done the same things to her.  Using the exact same vernacular.

 

Must have something to do with energy drinks I think.
