Derived from the Middle English 'libertyn' meaning 'freedman,' which came from the Latin root 'liber,' which means 'liberty.' Libertine was a derogatory term which referred to someone who was a free-thinker or non-believer. Until the 19th Century, atheists or agnostics were considered beyond the pale of reasonable or civilized people. The term was extended to describe people who lacked moral self-restraint. Being a libertine was associated with living as an animal or an uncivilized person. John Stuart Mill's dictum, "Better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied" applies as a condemnation of the libertine.
Many contemporary libertarians miss crucial moral distinctions and have fallen into perverting the Liberty Principle into a "Libertine Principle." Contemporary liberals (social democrats and socialists, not classical liberals) have fallen into the same moral nihilism falsely believing that they are defending liberty when they place atheism, sexual promiscuity, homosexuality, and illicit drug use on par with traditional morality and religious belief.

Fool: I am a libertarian. I smoke dope, watch pornography, and have sex with anything not nailed down. I love liberty as did the Founding Fathers.
Person with common sense: You are not a libertarian or a liberal, you are a libertine.

Get the libertine mug.Reddit liberalism is often associated with the liberal nature of redditors. Since reddit tends to lean left-wing on all major subreddits, It's infamous for having a notable liberal bias. It's also associated with reddit atheism, which devoutly attacks religion, since many reddit atheists are also liberals as well.
Reddit Liberalism is notorious for being filled with edgy atheists, although a lot of them are actually decent people.

Get the British Liberation Army mug.The Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) is an armed group of radicalized terrorists which massacre innocent ethnic minorities across the Oromo region and sometimes invade the Amhara region killing innocent civilians. Many of their fighters have long dreadlocks and look like Rastas as a result, including their leader Jal Marroo who is mentally unstable. Innocent ethnic Amharas and other minorities suffer from daily massacres. Sadly a lot of Oromos from Minnesota support this terrorist group.
