Yeah, I wouldn’t be strident, but, you know, America always wants diplomacy over military conflict. I draw the line at how serious I believe a person is. It’s like racism. I’m not racist, why can’t we all just get along? If we dumb ourselves down enough, there is nothing that divides us. ;)
Just as some people say "socialism has never really been tried" so some libertarians say "capitalism has never been tried." In fact one can say this about any political theory or practice.
I just want to stop the killing in my name and with my money. Doesn't sound unreasonable, but boy, you wouldn't think so. So much whataboutism in the overarching narrative. "But what about the Ukrainians lives and freedom?" Samantha Powers cried the other day. Is that worth nuclear war between the US and Russia? I say no. Perhaps ol' Sammie doesn't think the Russians would do it. If Russia is under a serious enough threat, it would. This war is EXISTENTIAL for them, and I don't know why Washington refuses to recognize this. Probably because they don't really care, they want Russia Balkanized. There's a precedent of NATO doing just that, ya know.
So long as it isn’t comprised solely of delusional libertarians who believe we can have liberal-capitalism without war. What a grand distraction.0
I'd concentrate on establishing alliances where one can find like minds and goals.
