I haven’t watched the video yet, I always save his videos for my morning routine.
Anyway, I’m replacing my company blacklist with a whitelist, there’s just too many scumbag companies. The default assumption should be that any given company would leave me dead in a ditch for the chance to make a one dollar profit. They can earn my trust through tremendous effort if they want my money.
I thought the idea was that when we spend USD, we do so under the expectation that our government will protect us from malicious and deceptive companies. When did this change? Anyone remember a time when this was the case, or was it always a fantasy?
The actual party yes, but their policies have been very influential. In particular their rabid support for trickle down and laissez-faire economics as well as their own particularly pernicious flavor of free market economics have largely supplanted all of the GOPs economic policies. Republicans then use those same economic policies as justification for their war on government services in general.
What they say and what they do are two different things. They say free market but they mean favoratism. They say small government but they mean –you guessed it– favoratism. It’s like how lefties say communism but vote for gun control.
I strongly believe that libertarian ideology does not exist in US politics. We only have two different flavors of authoritarianism. The only libertarians in the US are gun enthusiasts (note: not actually allied with the right at all) and drug dealers.

It changed when the Libertarians took over.
Damn book lending psychopaths.
Libertarians are a political minority, they control nothing in the US. This is the leftist equivalent of “it’s the damn commies!”

Everything changed when the fire nation attacked
There is no war…
Fuck it.
We’ve always been at war with Eurasia.
