Deontological libertarian. Individual liberty and free markets are not just good ideas, they are essential characteristics of a just system. #libertarian
Getting tired of all the tribalism. I can simultaneously oppose the shut down and mandatory masks and still wear one because it's the logical response to an infectious airborne disease. I can support radical criminal justice reform without accepting a bigger welfare state.
@yaronbrook@BasedMikeLee The notion that immigration is bad is misguided. Humans, on the whole, are net producers. Have we gone back to believing Ehlich's "Population Bomb"? If you're concerned with attracting welfare recipients, then deal with that, but don't pretend that immigration itself is a problem
@TarrinLupo I've long felt the LP was engaged in a fight between two factions I can't identify with. I already had little hope of that changing. Trump's attack on any libertarian influence in the GOP is disheartening to say the least. The "Libertarian Moment" seems like a foreign concept now

@justinamash@RepThomasMassie I hope you are right, but I'm struggling to be optimistic. Our electoral system really only allows us two parties, and both are moving away from liberty at high speed right now.
@WillFiteForYou@AP4Liberty@redflameliberty@VivekGRamaswamy@AP4Liberty wants us to lose the term libertarian to the populists the way we lost liberal to the Democrats. Libertarian and nationalist are not compatible. The day they are is the day libertarian no longer stands for individual liberty.
@LarkinWilder@MCMCD_ Doctors offered to turn my son when he was breech. We declined and went with a C-section. Turned out the cord was wrapped around his neck 5 times and turning him might have killed him. A fluke I'm sure, but I'm thankful for our choice.
