Did people here just grow out of libertarianism or did they all just leave and become quiet? Did the proliferation of SJWs and their growth and power make /pol/ realize that they could no longer hold onto a live and let live ideology?

They got bullied the fuck out by roads

Pls stop with this meme.
They grew the fuck up

Second post best post.

Libertarianism is a middle class ideology. For better or worse, this isn't "morning in America" anymore. And, dreadfully, we need a new political analysis, but they don't teach how to analyze our electorate anymore, after the abolished teleology through removing classical philosophy from the curriculum. Read Bloom if you want to know the damages.
Nothing but shockers from here on out. Nobody is an "expert" anymore

If you're not new, you'd know there was a board split after GG blew up and /pol/ Harbor happened. You will have to venture off to the land of 8 if you want less meme shitposting and shilling now.
/pol/ actual did something meaningful and its been paying the price ever since.

Have you ever wondered, by the way, why Western rulers have studied the Greeks for centuries, as opposed to literally everything else?

Libertarianism was the biggest ideology on /pol as recently as 2012. People say "they grew up" but I wonder if SJWs pushing their shit in everywhere on the internet made people hardened and angry.
I'm still a libertarian through and through. My vote is still going to trump though, even though he's far from libertarian. let's be real, randlet never had a chance.
We are just eating popcorn waiting for the Doom Paul meme to become a reality.
I'm a libertarian in all aspects except immigration.

What did pol do that was meaningful? Raid tumblr?
Libertarian here, voting Trump just to fuck up the establishment Republicans, maybe in 2020 Gary Johnson can get that 5%
>>67400058
There is no libertarian running, what do you want us to talk about?
Most of us settle for Trump for the anti establishment factor. He's nowhere close to libertarian but I'm not voting Johnson again when an outsider candidate actually has a chance at winning for once
>>67401398
Trump may have a chance at winning, but he still has a mountain to overcome. You can't even publically support him on social media without burning bridges.

>as recently as 2012.
Exactly. The demographics for libertarians are well-off white men. Not as many of them as they used to be before 2008. Technically, millennial grads were supposed to transition into this population group, but something went off, either through former libertarians going broke or libertarian minded grads going unemployed.
The SJW angle is a 10/10 point, that would save us tremendous suffering if we had a leadership that hired people who knew what they are doing. There is an extremely important interplay between three variables which created the "nationalist" constitiuency.
Unfortunately for the Republicans, awareness alone, even after writing the check, would STILL be insufficient. It would then require realignments which costs millions. It's just a total clusterfuck but Bloom would understand how his former pupils screwed the gravy train.

Cost Gawker millions of shekels, forced the CEO to step down and retreat into the shadows.
>>67400058
i am partly libertarian but the truth is we need a big shakeup on the right from trump so a libertarian might even have a chance to get elected in the future. cause as it stands there is no chance
>>67400058
I used to be a Liberterian but now I gone full an-cap.
After Ron got ignored, I'd rather destroy the powers that be and destroy the modern Left and GOPe. We're gone too far towards corporatism for gradual pro-free market reforms to do anything other than make things worse.
personally i realized that it's a fools errand to try to convince the united states to just give up it's global role. voting in something exciting and provocative is probably a better way to destabilize the country

yeah all of these. nice job fellas
Liberatarianism doesn't work in real life and people drop it once they realize how easily a corporation can gain enough power to influence the media and the government(no matter how small it may be).
