Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

there are a few of those people but the issue is they don't go online or do anything
I think that, to the extent that they exist, they only do go online. But it still is still becoming obvious that that was never a serious or consistent movement, such that not even 2% would stand up for gun rights or being opposed to federal agents being allowed to arrest or harass people with no reason other than them being federal agents.
of course, libertarianism (speaking here only of the neoliberal kind, not the fascist kind) is deeply rooted in individualism. they won't stand for anything because they don't believe in that sort of thing. at best they believe society will collapse and they'll need guns to protect themselves as individuals like dirty harry. i was just speaking ideologically. ideologically they're opposed to the most obviously fascist police killings. obviously as a movement their individualism renders them dead on arrival
