The one campaigning for parental choice is using children as PAWNS? Maybe if your parents had been able to make the choice you'd have ended up in a school that taught you chess so you would have known how to spell "pawn."

That's their choice as parents. Why do you think you have the right to make choices for other parents?

When you provide a product consumers don't want, you FORCE an alternative to exist. #FreeMarket will always be the best regulator.

On this day, in 1975, Soviet physicist and human rights activist Andrei Dmitriyevich Sakharov was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace for his struggle against "the abuse of power and violations of human dignity in all its forms."

Right. As I said before, when you see the error in your ways, libertarianism will be here to welcome back to ideology that doesn't require government coercion. Good luck in your future endeavours!

IF a breach occurs, take it to court. Not a government issue.

Labour is a commodity and should be priced accordingly. You are not forced to work for anyone. If you as a consumer don't like how a company treats their employees, stop supporting that company and support one that supports their employees the way you like. That's called freedom.

Let's not forget, Doug Ford is following the playbook created by McGuinty and Wynne.

More reason to take the power away from ALL Parties while in Government from doing so. You do that by stripping away the rights and responsibilities of Government. Join the Libertarian Party of Canada and the Ontario Libertarian Party to prevent it in the future.

So true.

Libertarians, as opposed to the MAGA Republicans wearing the label like a skin suit, are opposed to abuse of the military and dismantling of the rule of law.

Libertarianism is always anti-fascist.

Support for fascism is what gives MAGA poseurs away as the authoritarian losers they always were.

Jason Kuznicki @jkuznicki.bsky.social · 2d

In that area it's been interesting to watch folks associated with the libertarian movement stand up and express some well-founded alarm--people like me, @andycraig.bsky.social, @walterolson.bsky.social, @aaronrosspowell.com, and @sarwark.org. And many others.

So your point is that the Democrats and Republicans in the USA are full of hypocrites? I could have told you that long ago. It is why I am a member of the Libertarian Party, since that is where Ideology means more than a soundbite and a win.

DEREK ELLIOTT for NIAGARA @elliott4mp.bsky.social · 2d

You mean the countries where they have had the right taken away are now having the right to speech taken away.

DEREK ELLIOTT for NIAGARA @elliott4mp.bsky.social · 2d

Libertarian means believing in the NAP, that taxation is theft, and no right is higher than individual property rights. None of which aligns with authoritarianism on either side of the spectrum.

DEREK ELLIOTT for NIAGARA @elliott4mp.bsky.social · 2d

Always been and always will be a libertarian. I enjoy having morals and thinking for myself. Thanks. Hopefully you find your way back someday, you will be welcomed!

DEREK ELLIOTT for NIAGARA @elliott4mp.bsky.social · 2d

The current US president is an authoritarian Republican and is in no way a libertarian. Never has been.

DEREK ELLIOTT for NIAGARA @elliott4mp.bsky.social · 2d

No I acknowledge it as flawed.

"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

Tell me you know nothing about Libertarianism without telling me you know nothing about Libertarianism.

Or- this is what libertarians always have been. A phony contrived “movement” that exists just to support the wealthy

Anyone who voted for Trump in the last election who called themselves a Libertarian is not a Libertarian.
