@Fatal Freedoms,
I have read this thread and it is clear that none of you have a clue as to the Truth here.
There is no central issue in american politics because they are all lie-based and utterly illegitimate issues. The only current issue is one of Truth, acknowledging that every single aspect of society is lie-based, genocidally malevolent and deranged.
There is no issue or problem with either the size or power of governments. That is a moot point. The issue is the total lack of Truth-based legitimacy in all the dogmas, dictates, institutions, idealologies and practices of all human societies.
"Libertarianism is a political theory that advocates the maximization of individual liberty in thought and action[1][2] and the minimization or even abolition of the state." - Wiki.
What a joke. What you have to realize is that virtually no human being knows anything about what any legitimate form of liberty would even entail. The enemy of Truth and the victimizer of the individual is culture and society, not the "government" in principal. This is because in theory you could have a Truth-based government, and this would need to be very large and structured.
All large political movements, including libertarian, are simply illegitimate and must be rejected by the aspiring Superior. They do not represent Truth.
What you have to realize is that even if the government and the police were weak and did not do much governing, that society ITSELF already brutally oppresses you and controls nearly every aspect of your lives and your minds. Small governments mean nothing.
