    Speaking of politics...

    I feel like I have some slight libertarian tendencies, but mostly I just wanna scream to the extremists that libertarianism might be a good idea if you could actually trust people to do the right thing

    I used to watch Nick at Nite all the time because everyone fell asleep before I did when I was a kid and it was all that would be on. Green Acres was not good, but I have a soft spot for the theme song because my grandpa had a cookie jar that played it when you lifted the lid. I always watched Gilligan’s Island and I Love Lucy, but my favorite was when they did the Pop-up Video version of The Brady Bunch.

    I know....I think I was looking for comfort or something from people that hate him. I usually hate Trump supporters but I was looking at that one woman from just like a basic mother worrying about her son perspective and I just felt terrible for her in that regard

    The theme song is classic for sure. Best thing about it. Lucy will always be worth watching, but I have no idea if Gilligan holds up now. It’s been so long since I’ve seen it. I was a sucker for most of what they showed. When I look now and see that Friends is in that slot I start sweating.

    Did you not read what I wrote about it....? It's a good idea in theory if you can trust people to do the right thing. Which you can't.

    Libertarians literally don't care about ending sex trafficking. They don't even pretend to.

    Libertarians don't believe in large scale wealth distribution and want to restrain the distribution of resources. While they claim individual liberty and freedom, rights for the social groups progressives would typically advocate for, etc., the economic beliefs they have work directly against promoting actual change for those most at risk.

    AND that's without even taking into account the fact that modern day "libertarians" are full of shit and just as bad as conservatives but paint a prettier picture to make it seem like they're not cause weed

    Thats fucking disgusting. The only reason I said I have some tendencies is because of the issue of freedom of speech. I'm not hardcore by any means. Everyone should know by my post history here that I'm a hardcore liberal.

    I say this in the gentlest way possible but perhaps look into it a little more because if you believe what I think you do you'll find you're more in line with socialism/communism than what libertarians believe but please clarify what you mean by "freedom of speech" cause that is a broad statement.

    Maybe I shouldn't have associated with them then because that's really terrible obviously. What is the word for someone who believes in freedom of speech (but believes people should expect huge blow back for saying terrible things)

    Well, I don't know that there's a word that simply captures that idea on its own (I'm sure it's wrapped up in many ideologies), but libertarians would not want even hate speech banned so I don't think you line up with it at all. They believe in freedom of speech entirely, meaning no ban on any type of speech (personal liberty and all that).

    Can you give me any good resources about socialism/communism then?
