Rule of being a free speech absolutist - Blåhaj Lemmy

He has some similarities to the libertarian morons
Right, don’t kill me for asking, but what’s wrong with libertarianism? Or who are the libertarian morons? Honest question.

Have a look at the reading list for right libertarians at “The Political Compass” www.politicalcompass.org/libRightBooks and you will be be to come to your own view. You might want to take the Political Compass test.

I found this article on what happened when a town became a Libertarian experiment interesting - newrepublic.com/…/libertarian-walks-into-bear-boo…

The Political Compass

some Political books from the Libertarian Right

I took the compass test recently and it came pretty far left far libertarian. I’m just trying to figure out what that means which is partly why I’m asking the question. I don’t dislike government run well and for the people. I don’t dislike taxes at all and want them spent on the public (esp tax the rich), and I like people following the rules (when they are fair) and to being kind to eachother. But I think people should be free to do what they want if it doesn’t impose on others’ freedoms. I’m just trying to figure out my own political views and philosophies more deeply at the moment.

if you really want to figure out your own views, don’t use some online test.

think about whats going on in the place you live. what do questions on a test have to do with that? go out and interact with the people around you and think and read about the stuff that comes up.

your political alignment has a lot more to do with the position you occupy in your place in space and time than a bunch of philosophical what ifs on a quiz.

Yeah I’m absolutely working on that as well. I am interested in it all from a hypothetical perspective too.
