Do leftists have a point with the whole liberalism leads to fascism thing? Academic Agent is basically advocating fascism now.

@matrix Yes. I went from liberal => libertarian => ancap => whatever the fuck I am now. The well known fascists also largely went through libertarianism. I'm not sure why. For me it was just largely because libertarianism hinges on such shoddy and arbitrary morals and thinking about it brought me to egoism, and then reading Kaczynski and realising that capitalism is largely just a hedonic treadmill

@applejack @matrix I went from socialist (squatting, drugs, organizing anti-car demonstrations and all) to liberal and I am now a happy libertarian ( somewhere between minarchist and night watchmen. Yes I am a statist @shebang , bite me! :blobtonguewink: ).

For me its the constant threat on our freedoms, people telling me how to life my live and how to view and treat my fellow individual, who I can and cannot interact with.

You are right about the hedonic threadmill. I can go on about this for hours to the point I am bordering on being outright misanthropic.

@xyfdi @applejack @matrix I can’t hate minarchists that much, I made their own custom emoji .. :ablobminarchist:
