One, weren’t we told that they were just license plate readers?
Two, again, weren’t we told that if we aren’t breaking the law then we have nothing to worry about?
JUST IN: Army veteran jailed for 30 days over a shooting he did not commit after investigators relied on Flock surveillance data to identify him as a suspect.
The absolute worst thing about opening this app is spotting a banger tweet for 0.2 seconds before the feed auto-refreshes and sends it straight into the void.
Gone forever.
All night, Megan has been doing what many on the right have done for years: When it’s convenient, they conflate the Libertarian Party with the philosophy, pretending they think Chase Oliver is the fruit of the philosophy, not Ron Paul, Thomas Massie, Dave Smith, or Tom Woods.
But when they need us, they will turn around, forget that tactic, retreat from their bailey to their motte, and quickly remind us right-wing libertarians that we actually need to vote Republican in November, because “the libertarian philosophy is actually very similar to the Republican platform,” and “if we right-wing libertarians don't vote for Republicans, we will get Democrats elected!”
But how does that dynamic change when $30 million is spent to oust Massie? What if all the right-wing libertarians finally draw a line in the sand and demonstrate in elections that war and inflation are our two biggest priorities, not whatever you pretend to think our priorities are, and we just stay home? Or what if we all decide to leave the Republican Party for good and start our own thing? It changes the game theory for you a bit, huh?
🚨 #BREAKING: It's been revealed the Flock CEO has publicly bragged about warrantless surveillance using his camera network — which is reportedly 3x larger than what the company has disclosed to the public.
One can disagree with libertarianism without peddling lies.
Libertarians (unlike the Republican Party) actually believe in limited government, which means the state should not have the authority to use violence to push personal morality on others.
It's not just about drugs, pornography, and prostitution.
It's also about war, economics (taxation is theft), gun rights, and a whole host of other issues.
Some Republicans like to pretend it's just about vices because they lack actual arguments against the ideology.
Some Democrats like to pretend it's just about throwing people off welfare and arguing against government-mandated healthcare, etc for the same reason.
Madness: “…they can't compete with us on the substance of ideas, and they know it….So instead, they go on the attack against libertarians and classical liberals to try to discredit these ideas through sloppy caricatures.”
Daily Wire:
My biggest problem with libertarians is that they can usually rouse themselves to fight for weed and porn and everything destructive, and rarely anything good and virtuous. As a general rule, libertarians are useless-to-destructive coalition partners.
This can’t be real. The only way anyone could have not seen this is willful ignorance - selectively looking the other way.
Or, I suppose, outright lying now.
“Weed and porn” are not even a top 50 issue for me or Dave Smith or Tom Woods or Clint Russell or Scott Horton or Angela McArdle or anyone who has built a presence in this space.
You’re upset by a fringe caricature, not actual libertarian philosophy.
Freedom means accepting that government cannot eliminate every risk from life.
Giving Big Brother the power to track and monitor law-abiding citizens in the name of “keeping us safe” is a dangerous trade: once government acquires that power, it rarely gives it back.
Public safety should start with enforcing the laws we already have and holding violent criminals accountable not treating every citizen like a potential criminal.
Trump gave Libertarians 100% of everything that they asked for. They only asked for one thing: Free Ross. Which party do you think Ross is voting for in the midterms?
