Reply #13: Yes, about that drug war...

[Chulanowa]

Do you know why Libertarians oppose it? I'm sure you know why they say they oppose it - "It restricts personal liberty!" Bullshit. They oppose the war on drugs because it prevents drugs being on the open market, and thus prevents corporations from having the commodity of an addicted populace to peddle to. They talk about liberty, but they don't mean for you.

You can't say "economically they have their heads up their asses," and then try to agree with them somewhere else. To the libertarian, it's all economics. You've argued against their "free market" crap? Congratulations, you disagree with every... single... position they have. Because when it comes down to it, making you their personal debt slave is what every single Libertarian position boils down to.

They say some agreeable things, sure, but they sure as fuck don't mean them the way you would take them. It's like finding a conservative who thinks the Iraq war needs to end as soon as possible, and then finding out he thinks the way to end it is to nuke the hell out of the Iraqis.
