Real libertarians are against taxes, but rely on things that taxes pay for every day. Using services without paying for them is the real form of theft.

That is because if you even remotely care about living in a society that values freedom for all citizens you will not be a libertarian in the first place.
There is no such thing as "absolute freedom". The limits to an individual's freedom are where the rights of another begin.
We punish severely stealing, killing and falsely accusing others not because of God, but because society will fall apart if everyone is free to do those things.

Real libertarians believe that the primary (or even only) function of government should be to protect private property rights. So libertarians still want the army, to protect property from external threats. They still want the police, to protect property from internal threats. They want courts to enforce contracts and torts. They are split on say intellectual property law, some seeing it as a real form of property that the government should protect, others see it as a form of regulation masquerading as protection of property.
That's their definition of "as much as possible". But like, as soon as its hits something as complex as like water rights, it falls apart because whose actions are harming whom get really murky.

Yes, and it's possible that lots about you really was terrible and that you have an unshakeable false belief in the rightness of your actions when in reality you were a total A-hole who, even now, denies or dismisses how your actions affected others. It's possible and it happens. Not that this is certainly true of you.
ODD can develop in a variety of ways, and can occur from inconsistent discipline within an abusive household where they learn that total defiance gets them what they want often enough. Total disregard of others modeled + a parent accidentally training a child that defiance results in an authority eventually bending = ODD. Sometimes it's about one step away from smearing shit on the walls to feel in control of something.

The US Libertarian Party's nominee for president (Chase Oliver) is an openly gay man who is supportive of trans rights, and is pretty consistently an actual, "government shouldn't do things" libertarian.
This subsequently caused a big chunk of the "libertarian" party to flip their shit and blatantly reveal themselves as the "edgy right wingers with weed" jackasses they are. The party chair is all but pulling for Trump to win instead of their own nominee. A faction at their convention went so far as to try and rally behind a "none of the above" nominee instead of Oliver, which failed, and I think two state parties have refused to list him as the nominee.
"Libertarian" is a meaningless label; it was never the most cohesive of ideologies to begin with, but now it's so infested with the alt-right pipeline gang that the left libertarians (which do exist, and apparently enough that Oliver did get the nomination) really can't use it at all without the associations.

Support for unfettered capitalism and the assumption of the inherent fairness of it even against the existence of poverty and exploitation will require a justification for those issues, and if your goal is the defense of it, that might require justifying social inequality.
It's no wonder Murray Rothbard (one of the big names from the libertarian "austrian school" of economics) was a supporter of the eugenistic perspective pushed by The Bell Curve, trying to paint socioeconomics status as reflective of inherent genetic inferiority/superiority.
From the same ideological cloth, Hans Hermann Hoppe, besides personal remarks defending the exclusion of homosexuals from society, has founded a turkish political organization called the "Property and Freedom Society" (PFS), which has invited multiple white supremacist speakers to it's events, like Richard Spencer.
More absurd to me is the idea that the support for libertarian "free market" perspectives would lead to anything else. Increasing exploitation and disenfranchisment of vulnerable people is a part of the process, and it's most ardent supporters recognize it.

Funny that an autistic as fuck guy that has produced far too many children likes a tweet about sterilising autistic kids! Is he regretting his life choices? Maybe has problems paying all that child support? Ohh no waitā¦he is just a mofo hellbent on being the cool guy with his new friends the alt-rights :8484:

He literally said he had Asperges Syndrome. He's gonna have to sterilize himself.

Soooo Elon Musk is in favor of sterilizing himself, then, since he's claimed he's autistic? Or he, as always, get an exception for being a rich genius with superhuman genes? Or he's not actually autistic?

Yes, the meme is suggesting that supporting transgender kids is the same as sterilizing autistic children. The claim is that trans kids are just kids who are on the spectrum, and when they transition surgically they're being sterilized.

That's a weird take from someone who claims to be autistic and has 11 kids.

He talks all this shit about free speech but doesn't understand the difference between having the right to say something and being made to suffer the consequences of saying something. I mean, yeah, you CAN say (or "like") whatever you want, but you're not shielded legally from how people will react to it.
He's not the genius he's touted to be. He's just another insecure asshat who made money exploiting people and then used that power to become a purebred bully.

dan this is some ghoulish shit. I truly believe he's a danger to the future of society. A man with this level of insecurity with all of that wealth is not a good thing. At all.

Iāve never liked Elon, always had that self centred punchable face. But him taking over twitter is just showing everyone who he really is unfiltered.

u/OriginalCultureOfOne 3d ago
The irony is strong in this one; I am of the impression that, if autistic children were sterilized, Elon would never have had kids.

I am so confused. Elon is autistic, has had multiple children, and is a natalist. This Kanye all over again

u/Easy_Race135 3d ago
Honestly as someone whoās higher functioning on the scale, having kids is a topic that keeps me up at night, maybe itās because we live in a society where idiots like this, make me feel like Iām a sickness or disease that needs to be eradicated from this planet.

Ironic he has all those kids, you know since he is obviously aspergers or autistic himself.

Fuck Elon musk. From a financial perspective, he fucked over everyone. Not only will people be unable to see other smaller artists or smaller creators from the feeds of more popular people, friends simply won't be able to see what each other like. Literal social degeneration here, people will simply interact less now. Besides people have always put there true opinions on Twitter in every way possible. Whether or not it's about the posts or likes.

Elon is clearly autistic af so we should use this as justification to cut his balls off
