Libertarians are just conservatives that are too chickenshit to commit to the bit, so they hide behind a different title to distance themselves.
If it helps, think of them the same as how a “pescatarian” pretends to be a vegetarian. They’re a carnivore that won’t commit to the title.
Pescatarians out here catching strays.
I was a pescatarian for all of like two months. I was in the, 'Ok, it's still bad for the environment, but at least fish are dumber so it's more ethical' phase.
It's useful as a transitory phase into vegetarianism.
I'm currently in that transitional period. Although I don't think I'll ever give up eggs.
So to extend the analogy, conservatives are nazis that can't commit to the title?
