Libertarians always play a losing game. They point out state interferences we object to, but then tell us against common sense and all reason that the only way to prevent these things is to give up state interferences we do agree with. For example we are against giving welfare to single mothers, and the libertarians tell us that we need to therefore get rid of all welfare. We are against no-fault divorce, so the libertarians tell us we need to get rid of state involvement in marriage altogether, rather than having stricter rules on marriage to encourage people into stability and responsibility.

That's nice. Just about every society capable of making more than mudhuts regulated marriage and other interactions between the sexes. You think you'd be allowed to mingle outside of your volk and bring your mongrels into society?

What a worthless, low-IQ strawman. Almost every libertarian prioritizes certain policy goals over others. By definition they must, as that's the definition of ordinal preferences. For instance, I care much more about stopping the third world hordes from entering my country than I do about deregulating the fly fishing rod industry.
>For example we are against giving welfare to single mothers, and the libertarians tell us that we need to therefore get rid of all welfare
If you support any kind of welfare you're a worthless cuck. No one besides human garbage would be support policies that reward poor decisions and punish the productive.
>We are against no-fault divorce, so the libertarians tell us we need to get rid of state involvement in marriage altogether
Have you ever considered that those two things are related, you illiterate nigger? *Why* do you think no-fault divorce was able to occur in the first place? Alimony, fag marriage, and every other deconsecration of a sacred union would have been avoided if it remained sacred. Crazy how that works, right?
>Go look up miscegenation and how many societies didn't accept children made from that.
How sense do you have to be to miss the point this hard? Everyone here already knows what miscegenation is, dipshit. No one thinks it's desirable. The difference is that you, and only you, have so thoroughly internalized your cuck fantasies that you instinctively imagine your grandchildren as half-breeds, as you did here: >>7815 . Only the NEETSoc assumes that his grandchildren will be mutts, because the NEETSoc is too weak to keep his family well-behaved. The NEETSoc can't find a good wife on his own, so he asks Daddy Hitler to give one to him. He doesn't have the discipline to stop himself from fapping to trap hentai, so he wants Daddy Hitler to ban anime for him. He doesn't have the skills to get a job, so he asks Daddy Hitler to provide him with gibs.

Being poor is not always a choice, and having made mistakes in my time I have sympathy with people who make bad choices.
>Have you ever considered that those two things are related, you illiterate nigger?
Did I deny they were related? Of course both are related to the involvement of the state in marriage. My point is, objecting to no-fault divorce I am not obligated to choose 'no state involvement'. I am inclined to choose that the state attaches real bonds between people, as in this era people value their freedom more than their responsibilities.
'State out of marriage' will not automatically bring back the old tradition of strong marriage that was once.

There was some right-winger (economically) who wrote an article about what he would do if he was broke and living in the ghetto, all the internet courses he would do and what not to make himself a coder.

>mere freedom
Freedom is nothing more than personal power, and in a libertarian definition it is the ability to achieve power without taking away from the power of others, transitioning society to a non-zero sum game.
People will almost always value power more than religion, culture, nature, equality, or whatever they claim to stand for, all these things will naturally become a means to an end, and the end being power. This is why so many popes and priests abuse the Word of God to become wealthy and live lavishly, this is why famous people virtue signal about importing more refugees while they themselves usually live as far away from them as possible, this is why the leaders of every socialist country are billionaires who live like kings and whose children post about their own luxurious lives in the West on Instagram, this is why every government based on "equality" ironically has more inequality than any country with evil capitalists and free markets. Even Hitler was a degenerate who had harems and lived in fucking castles.
A person's desire for power is why "corruption" exists, it's not a bug but a feature of all these democracies and republics, evil always breeds in ambiguity. A monarchy on the other hand is honest about the fact that the king is all about power, so this doesn't leave much room for ambitious politicians to fuck with our lives in order to further their own political careers.

Here you're arguing with yourself and with your own imagination of what you think libertarianism is about and going "AHA! That showed them!" when defeating your own strawmen with smug argmuments. After this shit you have the indecency to say "p-please don't insult me"? kek, get rekt, nigger. If you act like a subhuman, expect to be treated like one.

Honestly, I hate code niggers too, but if you put away all the feminine emotional bullshit that socialists exploit to guilt-trip you into supporting their ideology and do a bit of research on how these ghettos appear in the first place, you wouldn't mind being dead broke and thousands of dollars in debt in a country with no central bank kikery, and no one to tax or regulate you or the people you deal with. Ordinary life will be so much cheaper and survivable. All these poor people might not get rich in such a society until they start to provide value, but they won't be "poor" in the modern sense of the word that having no money is kind of like a death sentence, socialists make the simplest shit in life much more expensive than it's supposed to be, today even if you're a useful member of society, no matter how much you hustle it always feels like there's some kind of invisible force always keeping you down unless you have some inhuman ability to write code all day or you're an NPC who doesn't mind getting a boring-ass job as a lawyer or something.

Because freedom is not liberating. The strongest, most binding chain you can impose on a man is to make him responsible for his own actions. You want to be a bug chasing, fudge packing degenerate? Good luck with your AIDS and high-risk behavior making insurance costs skyrocket. You'll be barred from entry from any religious covenant community, as well as schools or any other building with lots of children. If your name is Tyrone, and you chimp out, trespass, or steal, you'll be be shot immediately, and no one will think twice about a man defending his property. No BLM protests, no fag pride parades, first because there's a no government for these parasites to influence and second because street owners won't allow it anyways. That is, assuming Tyrone even gets that far, since most businesses won't even let him through their doors, and most landlords wouldn't rent to him. Tyrone will be relegated to living in slums and ghettos with others of his own kind, far away from civilized men. Without the state serving as the civic religion, churches will rise to prominence once against, with all of the positive pressures that their commandments imply. Promiscuity is no longer subsidized by the state, but becomes socially unacceptable thanks to this. Instead of abortions, irresponsible young people will have no recourse besides shotgun weddings. The our of egalitarianism, imposed and enforced by the state, will be no more. The natural order will take its place.

Some appreciate either the incredibly hierarchical structure, or they appreciate the 'simple life.' It's actually much more of a pro-libertarian system than one might think.
>The best way to understand this system of hierarchy, though, is as a collection of social hierarchy systems to aid in maintaining. As people grow up and begin to develop their own identities, and those identities include personal relations. These relationships often begin with direct, verbal interaction and become more informal by interaction, in which case one might call them friendships, as those close to you might become your friends. This is where friendships begin to grow into the types of relationships that are found in much of our society. For both men and women, being friends can mean being the friend that most of us are meant to be. Many times, we may not even believe our friends are real. As individuals, we may even find ourselves unable to get along with those we have strong feelings for - those we are so attached to, that we would die if given the chance.

Monarchism is therefore not the cause of the economic difficulties which have plagued Latin America as well as East Africa, in which it is the main state.
