Age Combat 🤡

Reminds me of the old joke "what's the difference between libertarians and republicans? Libertarians know the legal age of consent in all 50 states"
- This trope and this meme are lame and wrong. You people have a ridiculous idea about Libertarians that is nothing but plain prejudice.
  I encourage anyone to prove me wrong by reading this Libertarian Party Platform document. Please point out anything about age of consent that is included in the Libertarian platform.
  https://www.lp.org/platform/
  Additionally, prove me wrong by showing any example of a Libertarian party member stating support for adults abusing children in the manner alluded to in this prejudiced meme / trope.
  EDIT: Downvotes don't prove anything folks. I issued a challenge here - is nobody going to prove me wrong?
  
  Heh. Somebody got offended by a joke
  
  I brought this up yesterday, and I'm not even a libertarian. I just have working eyes and those muscles between them run decent enough too. The ideology of libertarianism is so harmful to the corporations that run this country that it had to be astroturfed into the thought terminator cliche of "libertarian = pedo" amongst an entire new generation. They destroyed Occupy WallSt in a different but similar way, by infiltrating all the influential OWS groups and making identity politics a core tenant (if you're white, shut up because your opinions are worthless - thought terminator cliche so 'in your face obvious' that they're promoting exactly what they're supposedly fighting against, but most were taken in anyway) - here's a video of it in action from 2011.

  The corporations that run this country love youth internet addiction. There's never been an easier time in history to spread or destroy a movement simply by spending money. You don't even need a puppet. It's the ultimate power.
  
  WHOOOOOOOOSH
  Buddy, the definition of libertarian differs greatly from what your ilk discusses online.

There’s one more group that would make this argument…..
- Only one? I'm stuck between the US court system and Mormons looking for a wife but I guess Republican Congressmen's Dating Pool is also a possibility.
  
  What about the Catholics? The age of consent is 12 years in Vatican City
- Liberals in a worker shortage
  
  What fantasy world are you living in? So dumb...

Fuck, marry, kill: Degen edition
- Libertarians
  Fascists
  The IDF
  
  Libertarians are fascists…

Libertarians are like liberty to cherry pick lucrative bits of capitalism but same level of kick the ladder fuck you I got mine as regular Republicans.
- What libertarian said what to make you think that?
  
  I think government only works when it has the power to militarily dominate any competing force.
  I'll take Yikes! for 100, Alex

Much like Obomba taught us, that part in the middle of the meme that looks like says 12 year old is pronounced “Military age male”.
- Ah yes, the Drone King, first liberal saint of Genocide.
  
  first liberal saint of Genocide.
  Thought that was Churchill

Like Hasan said "It's all liberalism at the end of the day"
- Who actually hates themselves enough to watch Hasan Piker? Not only is he an idiot, but he's also cringe beyond hope
  
  Not that I'm outright disagreeing with you, but in what way is he an idiot? He went to Rutgers and has been a pundit for a decade. He knows his shit when it comes to history as well.
  
  Well there's also Hasan Minhaj but I don't think he said that.

Some of you guys have really warped definitions of libertarianism...
- The problem is libertarian groups themselves don't stand up against anarchists joining them. I remember Gary Johnson getting booed at an official libertarian party gathering for saying he believes in driver's licences.
  Also we already know how libertarianism ends, with robber barons controlling everything and people living in company towns. It's a terrible political ideal.
  
  What's wrong with anarchists? I've never seen anarchists defending pedophilia. Anarchism doesn't mean you just freely cause harm to others; quite the contrary.
  
  American libertarians are rebranded anarcho-capitalists. Outside of the US, libertarians are largely associated with anarchism and other anti-authoritarian socialist ideologies. Any left-libertarian (the kind that would identify as just anarchist, not ancap) want absolutely nothing to do with Gary Johnson. Don't put their shit show of an ideology on us lol
  
  I agree. Those fuckin anarchists are out of control
- Perhaps some facets of libertarianism are really fucked up?
  Slavery and child porn are debated by libertarians because the only way to address both is centralized government. However, since most (though not all) libertarians are opposed to any central government, they end up justifying with "well if you want to sell yourself as a slave, why should anyone stop you?".
  But yeah, obviously it's us that are aware of this who are the fucked up ones.
  
  Pretty sure the libertarian stance on slavery is that it is wrong, given the lack of liberty that slaves have. And the fact you can use a government to ensure nobody gets enslaved demonstrates the difference between a libertarian and an anarchist.
  The maximum amount of personal liberty does not come from zero government. It comes from having enough government to prevent people from enslaving other people.
  
  This is not at all a debate in libertarianism. Libertarians recognize the role of a limited small government to protect individual rights. Like please pull up one example of this debate going on in a libertarian space.
  Libertarians don’t believe murder should be legal and crazy shit like that. Libertarians believe in a guaranteed freedoms like freedom of speech, economic liberalism and are often social progressives who believe in gay marriage and drug legalization.
  The bill of rights was brought to you by libertarians.
  
  I'd argue pedophilia can be to some degree be addressed with proper mental healthcare.
  
  Can be addressed with assassination politics aimed at slavers and child abusers.
- Yeah, libertarians acknowledge that 12 year olds are children, they just also want to fuck children.
  
  Can you link to a libertarian saying that?
- Nathan Larson was a libertarian- no need to spin up narratives when it sets itself up, nice try though.
- Found the libertarian.
- I mean, if libertarians didn't openly discuss the age of consent and the differences between pedophilia and ephebephilia, maybe people wouldn't think they're all a bunch of pedos.
- To be fair, we make fun of ourselves in this regard.
