#libertarian
Problem:
Milei campaigned against the political establishment and parts of the elite. Amusingly, even the staunch establishmentarians at Goldman Sachs admit that "his diagnosis of the country’s economic woes is accurate: the size of the government has grown too large, it spends more than it collects, and it uses the central bank to finance its shortfalls." In other words, just like the US.
Solution:
As a result, fiscal profligacy is the root of the inflation problem (also just like in the US). In response, Milei has proposed an agenda of radical and transformative policies for the Argentine economy. Among his flagship economic proposals are
closing the central bank, the dollarization of the economy, an aggressive cut to public spending, and the elimination of tight trade and capital controls.
come on, USA - it's not that hard.

Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’ follow #bible, #church, #college, #conservative, #education, #fire-rescue, #history, #libertarian, #linux, #maga, #reformed-theology, #startrek, and #starwars.
My previous experience in the Fediverse (Diaspora) was very bad. My avatar and persona at first was Robin, Batman’s sidekick. There aren’t that many males named Robin where I’m from, and I enjoyed being the boy wonder and writing from his perspective just for fun. A second Diaspora account was a fictional character from the Star Trek universe named Artim - this guy - with whom I share a great fear of technology mixed with childlike curiosity and fondness for play. But in serious discussions about social, political, and spiritual issues, I couldn’t be that character, of course.
Unfounded accusations of pedophilia followed, and whenever any underage person created an account on Diaspora thereafter, regardless of gender or sexual orientation or anything else, then my old adversaries would link that poor kid with me some way or another, and more stupid allegations would spread. I did actually invite one kid to Diaspora, from a Sunday school class I used to teach. They jumped all over that poor kid too and drove him off as well. I would be surprised to find anyone in the Fediverse except maybe Mastodon under the age of 20.
It’s too bad. I think the Fediverse would be awesome for kids, and we adults need to hear from the next generation, to listen to them, and to offer a little help to them in these unbelievably confusing times. But as long as there are those who would associate any kid with me and try to drive them off, I couldn’t stick around and be the reason for it, so I left. For what, two years I guess. Now I’m back but on Friendica on Diaspora for now, and hoping the storms are over. If not, I’ll disappear again, probably never to return.
The Friendica instance I chose has very few #Christian #conservatives in it's directory, and has blocked a number of Fediverse instances where some might be found. Also, I found the interface on diaspora much easier to navigate and manage. I think I prefer it in spite of it's lack of some great features that Friendica offers. Those extra features don't mean as much to me as the short learning curve and intuitive interface that Diaspora offers, so I chose a pod that doesn't appear to censor users and block many instances.
Following a 30-year career in #fire-rescue, I took some college and seminary courses (Presbyterian / Reformed) and took a job running freight around the lower 48 for a bit, just to travel and learn. Now approaching my 65th year, I work locally and continue taking courses in college and seminary. Not working for a degree, just learning for the sheer pleasure of growing more and being equipped to teach at church when needed.
My interests are #bible #theology #history #writing #living-history #reenacting #church-history #sacred-music, #prepping #MAGA #America-first (that does not necessarily mean #Republican by any means! More like #libertarian)
Hopefully it's safe for me now, and hopefully my first experience of this Fediverse will be a positive one in which I can contribute, learn, and share.
Strange beasts, these ‘libertarians’ who love to curb the freedom of others / by Kenan Malik
When is a #libertarian not a libertarian? When, apparently, it is the wrong kind of people whose liberties are being curtailed. The past week has seen so-called “libertarian” Tory MPs rebel against the government’s Covid plan B – the necessity for #vaccine certificates or negative tests to attend large venues, mandatory #vaccinations for NHS staff, and the compulsory wearing of masks in certain spaces. “We’re not a ‘papers please’ society,” Tory MP Marcus Fysh claimed. “This is not Nazi Germany.”
Forget the gratuitous Nazi analogy, for which Fysh apologised; such a stance is now endemic in much discussion of Covid restrictions. The fact is, for many people, Britain is very much a “papers please” society. “Papers please” is what the “hostile environment” for immigrants is built on – the demand that people who might be immigrants must show their papers before they can receive hospital treatment, rent a flat or find a job. It’s what lies at the heart of the Windrush scandal – the insistence that those who did not have the right papers could not be British, even if they had been born here, and had lived and worked here all their lives.
The failure to recognise this is not an unfortunate oversight. Rightwing libertarians often have a selective view of who should be able to avail themselves of liberty. In the run-up to the debate over Covid restrictions, two other laws deserving of their attention passed through parliament. The libertarians’ response to both revealed their authoritarian core.
The government’s police, crime, sentencing and courts bill is currently in its committee stage in the Lords, having travelled through the Commons. At its heart is an assault on the ability of people to protest. The law would allow police to prevent demonstrations they deem too noisy or causing “serious disruption”. What “serious disruption” means is left to the home secretary to define.
< snip... >
It was historically the left that waved the banner of #liberty, seeking to expand its meaning and to include debarred groups, from the working class to women to colonial subjects. These struggles gave shape to the modern meaning of liberty. More recently, though, many sections of the left have retreated from issues that once helped define it, from free speech to civil liberties. This has given a free pass to the libertarian right both to don the mantle of freedom and to distort its meaning; “libertarians” who are happy to deny basic #freedoms to those who need it most. Liberty is too important to leave to those who don’t really believe in it.
Time for Insurrectionary History!
Enough of commemorating political and religious figures.
Let’s remember those who rebelled :)
Makhnovia established 1918 to be a stateless anarchist society
Flag attributed to the Makhnovists by Bolshevik media, proclaiming "Death to all those who stand in the way of the working people"
Makhnovshchina or Makhnovia (Ukrainian: Махновщина, romanized: Makhnovshchyna; Russian: Махновщина, romanized: Makhnovshchina), resulted from an attempt to form a #stateless #anarchist society in parts of #Ukraine during the #RussianRevolution of 1917–1923. It existed from 1918 to 1921, during which time free soviets and #libertarian #communes operated under the protection of Nestor Makhno's Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army. The area had a population of around seven million.
#Makhnovia was established with the capture of #Huliaipole by Makhno's forces on 27 November 1918. An #insurrectionary staff was set up in the city, which became the territory's de facto capital. #Russian forces of the White movement, under Anton Denikin, occupied part of the region and formed a temporary government of Southern Russia in March 1920, resulting in the de facto capital being briefly moved to Katerynoslav (modern-day Dnipro). In late March 1920, Denikin's forces retreated from the area, having been driven out by the Red Army in cooperation with Makhno's forces, whose units conducted #guerrilla warfare behind Denikin's lines. Makhnovia was disestablished on 28 August 1921, when a badly-wounded Makhno and 77 of his men escaped through Romania after several high-ranking officials were executed by Bolshevik forces. Remnants of the #BlackArmy continued to fight until late 1922.
Maine becomes fourth state to ban police from seizing property without conviction
The Maine Legislature passed a new law with bipartisan support to end civil asset forfeiture, the practice where police seize cash or assets connected to a crime without filing criminal charges.
The law went into effect last week without Gov. Janet Mills’ signature, making Maine the fourth state to ban civil forfeiture, following North Carolina in 1985, New Mexico in 2015 and Nebraska in 2016.
“I’m just ecstatic that Maine passed this law. I hope that it starts a domino effect across the states,” said Rep. Billy Bob Faulkingham, a Republican representing Winter Harbor and the lead sponsor of LD 1521.
The law fully repeals Maine’s civil forfeiture laws, leaving on the books criminal forfeitures, which require a criminal conviction before the cash or property is awarded to the police.
According to the Institute for Justice, a non-profit libertarian public interest law firm that testified in support of Faulkingham’s legislation, the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency seized $1.5 million between 2009 and 2013 — an average of $247,395 per year. In Maine, criminal forfeitures are more common than civil seizures, according to the U.S Attorney’s Office in Maine.
The bipartisan effort brought together unlikely allies, such as Faulkingham, who identifies politically as libertarian, and co-sponsors like House Assistant Majority Leader Rachel Talbot Ross, a Democrat from Portland who has long been a progressive champion of criminal justice reform and police accountability in Augusta.
“I had a pretty good lineup of co-sponsors. Rachel Talbot Ross signed on and her caucus helped me out,” Faulkingham said. “It was one of the most bipartisan, awesome votes that we had this session and it was just a major rejection of civil asset forfeiture.”
Yes!!! Yes! In the state of Maine, cops can no longer mug and rob you!

Now if we can only find a cat that eats Libertarians ...
@woozle@hey.iseeamess.com from The Other Place: "The Tale of the Mice and the Cat, classical liberalism version"
"The cat must not be belled!" spoke up another mouse. "The cat is simply trying to live, just as you are -- what right have we to impose our will upon it, to interfere in its life? This is nothing more than opinion carried out by mob rule, putting a noose around that which we dislike! How would you feel if a group of cats decided to put bells on each of you??"
Sadly, it seems to me that Libertarianism has evolved a mechanism more similar to Toxoplasma gondii.
