“Minimum government” is a euphemism for “individual freedom”,

expressed as such to shift blame for its absence away from “all people” who’s cooperation could ensure it,

and onto the proxy they have created instead, to coerce the uncooperative.

Voluntary cooperation
Is freedom.

@plansdonthappen Simple only in the moral sense. Full time or not, employee or contractor, everybody deserves to be paid fairly for their work. But appropriate minimum for any one person is a subjective value. Federal govt and corp lobbyists will never solve this problem with laws from the top.💛

#libertarians are POSERS.

#libertarian does not describe what one IS, but rather, what one ASPIRES to be.

#libertarianism is the practice of giving EVERY OTHER PERSON the freedom to be right, and to live peacefully in their OWN WORLD view.

I can only STRIVE to be so generous.

I don’t care for
Government as a proxy
For trust between people.

Not that I think trust isn’t needed
Or that I don’t value governance,
But that I don’t need a proxy
When I already believe

Humans are good.

Most can earn my trust easily.
And those who can’t
I’ll deal with.

⚡️🌈

[liberty pony ⚡️🌈 ♥️ @libpony]

I am not concerned
About the consequences
Of what humans do, as much

As how we can grow to respect
All as free individuals
In the process.

Only then can we build better things.

@and_furiouser Nope.
We’re all different.

[liberty pony ⚡️🌈 ♥️ @libpony]

#libertarianism
Is not what others say it is.

It is only what YOU make of :
“All freedoms for all people,
All of the time”
In your own best fit
In your own best world.

#libertarian is you.

And only from there,
From one’s own best world,
Will #libertarians see each other.

More important
Than choosing NOT to,
We simply want the freedom
To have alternate choices,

Freedom to choose
For every person at all times
Re: what to pay for & who provides.

Minimal government
Does not mean fewer services
But autonomous & cooperative
Public service providers.

“Competition & multiple choices are good for industry.”
“Decentralized expertise can be effective.”
“Open & transparent discussion, allowing people to speak their mind, might be of benefit to all society.”

@fcain sounds more & more libertarian every day.

“We’re living in a BETTER world (these days), and we (libertarians) should do a BETTER job at explaining what’s GREAT about it and what obstacles (we have) in making it EVEN BETTER.”

I’m not a @reason libertarian…
But I AM a @nickgillespie libertarian.

It’s an old trope:
“Government is inefficient with our $$ and ineffectual with its promises, so we should just…”

Science is out there. This is a real problem… but real solutions are not being discussed. Why is that?

What keeps the dialogue closed re: minimal governance?

“We know … that one in five people eligible for food stamps don’t receive them in large part because of these burdens. Similar for Medicaid or public health insurance for low income individuals and families. And then other programs are much worse.” https://t.co/GeP4ZkdbNt

“For example, the Supplemental Security Income program, which is a poverty based program for older adults and people with disabilities, has take up rates about 60%. So 4 in 10 people, really poor people eligible for these programs, aren’t getting those benefits.” @NiskanenCenter

@angela4LNCChair Thank you for giving a shit with such clarity and passion. Looking forward to Feb 19!

To be 💯 anti-war
Is to have 💯 willingness
To live 💯 without the state.

War is a racket
Promoted by one state
Against another & reciprocated
Only to preserve legitimacy
Of state monopoly.

When people are free
To choose for themselves
Fights may still happen
But wars will end.

@illinoispolicy Am I right in my reading
Of this entire amendment text?

All I see is an obfuscated
Constitutional protection of
A union’s right to mandate membership.

Mandated membership
Is the WORST aspect of
Public sector unions.

ALL workers should be
Free to organize collectively
OR NOT.

[liberty pony ⚡️🌈 ♥️ @libpony]

Hard truths may be valid
But rarely effective.

Many self described socialists
See their movement as means
Of promoting ethics and
Ending tyranny.

Wrong or right,
Their world view is sacred.
Attacking it will only close dialogue
Across values we may share.

Socialism is like a social cancer that spreads fast and rottens every cell it touches, ultimately, killing the nation through misery and tyranny.

The socialist arrangement is not only unethical, it is also inferior economically when compared to the free-markets.
