penn jillette being alibertarian was a heartbreak, but then you realize its just. "Yeah we dont want to pay taxes. Taxes are theft. blah blah. lets destroy government." without gov capitalism explodes carrying the nation with it.
@MrJackTrades
Doug Stanhope and Penn Jillette, man my favourite libertarians keep leaving the movement lol
@keladry12
Oh Penn. What an amazingly beautiful way to imagine the world to be - that we shouldn't have mandatory mask laws, not because people shouldn't be wearing masks, but because it should be so obvious that you need to wear a mask that there is no need to make it a law on the books. I am so glad to have an actual understanding of Penn's opinions, and I am sorry to say that I had previously heard "Penn is a Libertarian" and lumped him in with all the other scary libertarians I had spoken to previously. A good reminder to always ask questions and do your own research.

We are talking about a country that says `im a Christian and a proud gun owner` without any notion of the absurdity

Red Pill: Libertarians are still more ideologically consistent that the major parties in the US. The main reason people move away from Libertarianism is that it's psycologically difficult to stand on principal when both sides of a dictotic propaganda machine are constantly attacking you, and you have no significant collective to back you up. And despite Libertarianism being one of the most logically sound ideologies, we are all still humans... all affected by our evolved social tendencies designed to maximize chances of procreation, rather than discern truth. People will try to rationalize their departure from the ideology in a variety of other ways, because they don't want to acknowledge that they are succumbing to their base psycological needs at the expense of truth and rejecting hypocrisy...but the above reprents most everyone who walks away
@ernststravoblofeld
Before it got coopted, the term "libertarian" was coined by proper left wing anarchists when it was illegal to call yourself anarchist in France a century ago. It sounds like Penn is slowly coming around to the old way! Excellent!

I can't even understand why someone would risk an avoidable life of impairment and pain or making all their beloved ones cry just because they don't want to wear a strip of reinforced textile while staying sit.

I am a libertarian socialist you should look into this. This more i think in alignment with what would be okay with.

Doctor, will wearing a piece of paper over my face prevent viruses? No. It would just decrease the amount of fresh air you get
@Khurzan72
The point of don’t wear masks was to stand up against a totalitarian regime. The fact that you don’t get this makes me question how you ever considered yourself a libertarian. I’m disappointed. I was always a fan.
@LiteralmenteFadul
I really do believe libertarianism as a mivement had a big change for the worse around 2012 or so. Nowadays I don't even agree with it's economic principles anymore, but the drastic change in ethics and ethos of the movement was shocking. It used to have very pro LGBT rights, pro reproductive rights, ati-facist and anti-ehite supremacy spaces. All gone now. Libertarianism is now almost synonymous with racism, sexism and anti-lgbt.
@BrettBumeter
I remember libertarianism being hijacked sometime after 2009 and before the spring of 2010. There was some misguided event that culminated with its death. A lot of ‘Twitter influencers’ sort of helped kill it, they were a little drunk on the power of their Twitter ‘fame’. Many used that to run for congress and the senate. This included one friend of mine and several acquaintances of mine. My friend lost his race for Senate and later passed away from cancer. Many of the others won. We lost touch and they and their ilk fueled the racist and religious shift to the right and authoritarian BS mixed with Donald trumps populism, promising anything to anyone that would scratch his back.
@DeathToMayo
Penn didn't change much but how people used the word libertarian did.
@paulsholar9356
Libertarianism is not a social good. It is like a spoiled, ignorant, affluent teenager who says, "I've got what I need, so get out of my way and let me do what I want."
@selocan469
Libertarianism has nothing to do with being altruist and live for people, and I am thankful it is not. Since, that would be an unachievable idiotic and hence unpractical end. I do not even trust Penn or anyone else to be that person, me included. I do not believe anyone should expect anyone including himself that good of a person. Anyway, libertarianism is all about personal sovereignty and governmental should set its laws and system to achieve and keep it while balancing individuals interaction with society, hence equality. As an individual, our basic duty is to promote and elect people, governors, system behave in that way and retract support from who do not. Simple as that I hate people talking high and mighty, speak in terms of divinity spelling words such as virtue and altruism. Those are concepts for one self but not about their obligations to society. It is total crap and mostly words of either stem from a delusion or sneaky evil. Concepts and systems such as "Libertarianism " are here for us to keep our lives safe and good when even there are unvirtuous people out there... and believe they always be there. And yet again, we would not need to stay vigilant against those in fear of great harm since as long as system is libertarian and justice system is solid... or else how can one be in peace and what is the point of living in libertarian system where you are obligated constantly to be virtues and stay ever vigilant again evil. NONSENSE! Those people and their constant blabbering about virtues brought this new generation who a total new level of delusion. They somewhat created their own monsters from uttering divinity all over the place... creations with such idiocy and delusion that even they can not stand and fathom them.

@SinCitySlicker702
Finding faith in God has challenged my worldview tremendously because I've found the whole system to be obhorrent. Maybe it takes going through a pandemic or some other crisis to teach us all. A lot of people's politics and worldview's were challenged the past few years and to be fair i bet most Americans have a mix of ideals depending on the issues. A little conservative and a little liberal ( the old school meaning). My understanding of Libertarianism is one that is fiscally conservative but socially Liberal.
@LPNBKeith
Of course Penn was pro mask lol
