Shapiro wants American workers to be taxed and the money sent to Israel, so no, he’s not libertarian.

The Economist isn’t libertarian.

The VoA article says:

Many libertarians, who champion individual freedom and are generally skeptical of government authority, have been outspoken in denouncing vaccine mandates and social distancing measures as an unwarranted intrusion on personal liberty. But others are just as voluble in defending the measures“

So it says many libertarians are anti-mandate but “other” libertarians defend the mandates. The whole article is about exceptions to libertarianism. It cherry picks people I haven’t heard of such as Jessica Flanigan whose analogy is retardedly not libertarian:

Libertarian philosopher Jessica Flanigan has likened vaccine refusal to firing a gun into the air on Independence Day, inadvertently injuring innocent bystanders. “Citizens do not have the right to turn themselves into biological weapons that expose innocent bystanders to undue risks of harm.” Flanigan wrote in a 2014 journal article, "ADefense of Compulsory Vaccination.” “Mandatory vaccination policies are therefore justifiable in most cases because citizens do not have a right to remain unvaccinated.””

Also notice that she wrote it in 2014 when the issue was more likely to be real vaccines instead of mRNA injections.

Another divergent person cherry-picked for the article:

Jason Brennan, a libertarian philosopher at Georgetown University who made the “libertarian case for mandatory vaccination” in a 2016 journal article.“

Georgetown? Anyway, notice the 2016 date, and then check what he says after:

With COVID vaccines widely available, however, the case for a COVID-19 vaccine mandate has grown weaker, Brennan said.”

So these are pretty weak examples, but I’m sure you can find all kinds of Judas goats who wear the sheep’s clothing of different groups to lead them astray. Why did you single out libertarianism? There was a much higher % of mainstream conservatives than libertarians who pussed out to the vaxx narrative, and of course any even higher % of democrats.

How many supposed "libertarians" did you hear arguing that people had an obligation to their community and loved ones to take a vaccine?“

Not many. How many did you hear?

Starlink seems likely but I don’t know why all the lights disappeared at once

Sorry I didn’t video in time, but I just saw something unique in the md sky. It was a uniformly tightly packed row of about a dozen lights. It appeared near the crescent moon heading south. It traveled a distance of about 3 times its overall length going average aircraft speed and then disappeared. I tried to see if any individual lights swerved off line but I didn’t have time to see any. They were straight enough to have been connected but that seems like too big of an aircraft. My first thought was drone swarm.

Exactly. Zelensky doesn’t want to win. He wants the old commie tactic of perpetuating a problem so that it can be addressed with never-ending funding that doesn’t really go towards a solution.

Haha, even your irrelevant diversionary comments are incorrect.

That's actually illegal.“

Illegal where? The two fights against Thanos take place on Titan where there is no law, and in Wakanda where the king gives governmental approval to the Avengers to fight Thanos.

Did you see Avengers Infinity War? The Avengers take on the duty to prevent Thanos from getting all the stones and snapping his fingers. The Avengers fail that duty. So are the Avengers to blame for Thanos wiping out half the population? No, Thanos is to blame for the action of Thanos.

The government has a duty to punish criminals but the criminals are to blame for their crimes. It’s an important distinction. I don’t think you’re a street thug. Blaming black thugs’ crime on the government isn’t a good look for you.

MarkusCincinnatus 1 point ago +1 / -0

Are you suggesting that the black thugs who commit crime. Since I am black. Those crimes are automatically passed to me?“

No, you’re not responsible for others’ crimes, but you are responsible for attempting to run cover for criminals by saying stupid shit like this:

Just like I blame the CONSTANT black thug criminals on the GOVERNMENT!“

You’re trying to have the blame of the black thugs’ personal crimes automatically passed to the government. You wouldn’t do that if you valued personal accountability.

You are fucking acting like it's normal everyday citizens job to Detain and to Sentence the rapist and murders.“

No I’m not. That’s a strawman. The people’s job is to avoid becoming criminals. That’s why widespread personal accountability is more effective than a strict police state at creating a lawful society. The crimes of black thugs are the fault of the black thugs, not the justice system.

Psychopaths have similarly strange rationalizations: “It’s their fault for not stopping me.” Be careful.

Just like I blame the CONSTANT black thug criminals on the GOVERNMENT!“

hahahaha. No personal accountability in your mush brain.

I remember when you tried to debunk the psychometric of the intelligence quotient. Now you’re trying to use it against other people. Make up your mind.

Ok, thank you for eventually answering. They shouldn’t just be told to leave.

Could’ve done without this crap though:

If you have an opportunity to BETTER YOUR QUALITY of life. You f'ing take that opporunity.”

That's common sense.“

So if the CIA offered you a better quality of life in the form of wealth, fame, influence, and power, and all you had to do for it was rape a boy on camera and then when you’re in power you have to take occasional directions from the CIA, you would take that fuckin opportunity because it’s common sense to better your quality of life.

No, it’s sensible to weigh the costs of a seemingly improved quality of life.

You ducked the question twice in a row. Is it cowardice, or is it an example of the trope about black people being unable to understand conditionals such as if/ then statements?

We SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS SITUATION TO BEGIN IT!!“

Agreed, but that wasn’t the question. Are you able to imagine a situation where the facilitators of illegal immigration have been removed but there are still some illegals remaining? If you’re able to understand such a scenario, what would you do in that situation with the remaining illegals?

Speaking of the beginning, consider this alternate history:

Official American spokesman: “We don’t have illegal immigration yet, but if it does happen, we need to be sure that we don’t blame it on the illegal immigrants.”

Would such a statement deter or encourage illegal immigration?

It’s wasn’t logical to become dependent on an illegitimate regime whose removal from power was so widely desired and anticipated that it became inevitable. It wasn’t logical to become a criminal in other people’s country. There have been many crybaby social media posts and comments about the emotional distress currently felt by illegals. It wasn’t logical for them to put themselves in a situation where there was a good chance of feeling that distress. It wasn’t logical to fail to think through the consequences of believing the illegitimate regime at face value. It wasn’t logical to trifle with God’s will of separate nations.

Illegals are not pawns on a chess board. They are sentient beings with personal agency. Do you know who we don’t hear about and who you are excluding from your assumption? All of the foreigners who were offered the free ride to immigrate illegally but who turned it down. If I were their countryman, I would also turn down the devil’s bargain. I’ve already demonstrated for years that I’m more motivated by principle than by materialism.

Anyway, you conflated the logic of culpability with the separate issue of a hypothetical person trying to apply logic to a personal decision. I used to think that you did crap like that intentionally, but now I just think that you don’t know any better. The boomers who give you upvotes so that they can pat themselves on the back for being charitable to the black guy aren’t really helping you.

Ok, so I’ve answered your question of what I wouldn’t do in a foreign shithole. Now answer my question of what you would do with the illegals remaining in the USA after the facilitators of illegal immigration have been taken out of the situation.

Blaming illegal immigration at least partly on illegal immigrants is illogical?

Ok master of logic, tell me this. Imagine that all of the facilitators and organizers of the illegals have been rounded up, removed from power and funding, arrested, and forced to receive justice. They’ve all been taken out of the picture, but there are still some illegal immigrants in the country who haven’t self-deported or been deported by authorities yet. The authorities are zeroing in though, and they will be able to get to the remaining illegals soon. What do you think should be done with those remaining illegals?

A school kid can’t walk out but he can rebuke. It’s better if he’s in elementary or middle school because commie downgrading doesn’t matter yet

When you blame those others. That means you will not blame those in power that are causing the problem.“

That’s a false premise. I blame them all.

ChatGPT sucks. It mentions at least twice that Larry Silverstein making an insurance claim after the attack is standard business practice and no proof of foreknowledge of the attack. No shit, woke search engine. The interesting part about Lucky Larry’s insurance is the over-insured policy taken out shortly before the attack. Also, ChatGPT doesn’t mention Lucky Larry’s physical whereabouts on the morning of 9/11 and how it diverged from his normal routine. Sure, it’s not definitive proof, but another miracle whose improbability multiplied by all the other improbabilities makes the overall probability of the official story vanishingly small.

ChatGPT also overlooked other inconvenient facts. ChatGPT was programmed by commie dweebs to try to trick people into thinking that they’ve given issues the proper consideration.

Those aren’t acting credits. They’re “additional crew” credits, supposedly for being an actual massage therapist on set. The sets where she worked were for Armageddon; Mystery Men, and KPax.

Tall poppy syndrome is more of an Australian figure of speech. It usually refers to locals being envious or resentful of someone who climbs the ladder. The American version might be crabs in a bucket
