      But how is that in any way compatible with libertarianism?

      I presume not “libertarian” in the old sense of anarchism. Even that doesn’t particularly like electoral politics at all.

        I don’t have to agree with everything Mamdani says to realize that the establishment Democrat party is incapable of standing up to this administration. Hence the whole political pluralism thing.

          Libertarians are overwhelmingly siding with republicans. Doesn’t that mean anything?

            Uh no. Does the USSR mean anything when talking to an anarchist?

            Trans rights are human rights Free Palestine. Abolish ICE.

            That any clearer for you?

              The Swastika predates Nazi Germany as a symbol for many years, but if you post a flag with a Swastika on it, people are going to assume you mean a Nazi. Once a symbol gets adopted and popularized with a group, it gets associated with that group, regardless of prior meaning.

                Nobody but the truly ignorant are going to think you’re a Nazi for flying this, and it’s borderline racist to suggest otherwise

              You use (and say you like) the symbols of a specific political party but then defend yourself saying that you mean the ideology as a whole (and a huge “no true Scotsman”) while criticizing a different specific political party. Maybe don’t use those symbols if you wanna make your point better.
