Libertarian

Someone who is part of a broad spectrum of political ideology that advocates for less coercion, thinks that the governments power should be limited or abolished, and values consent. Right libertarians believe that a private and free market benefits and progresses society the most out of any other economic system. They also believe that corporations and monopolies are products of the state from mass regulation and taxation. The vast majority of right libertarians are not wealthy millionaires, by the way. The left libertarians believe that the people, should voluntarily own the means of production, whether that means everyone in a society should be part of a worker cooperative or everyone of a society owns the means and end results of production. Markets are not exclusive to capitalism too, look at market socialism. Both sides are actively against government oppression (both oppression against anyone in and out of the country) and corporations and are for liberty and consent. Both sides believe that consent is very valuable, if you consent to something, the government shouldn't be allowed to restrict you from doing it. Both sides also believe in the legalization of all victimless crimes. A victimless crime is a crime that doesn't actually violate anyone's rights or a crime that is actually a consensual action.

Here is what a libertarian is not: a pedophile, an advocate of slavery, a neofeudalist, an authoritarian, a republican/conservative, a democrat/liberal, or a bootlicker.

Liberal: Libertarianism is when pedo, neofeudalism, and slavery
Libertarian: Since when are any of those consensual?

Conservatives: But who will murder the civilians in the Middle East?
Libertarians: The endless intervention in the Middle East and the murder of civilians is wrong and should be stopped.
Conservatives: :'(

Right libertarian to left libertarians: YOU'RE NOT A REAL LIBERTARIAN
Left libertarians to right libertarians: NO, YOU ARE NOT THE REAL LIBERTARIAN
Other Libertarians: Can't we just get along??

Capitalists: Markets are exclusive to capitalism!
Market Socialists: No they are not. Market socialism is a type of economy that instead of having privately owned companies, the companies are democratically controlled by the people who work for the company, and because there are individual companies that would compete, there would be markets.

liberal media

Whiny, bitching, cry-baby conservatives love to prattle on and on about the "liberal media." To be fair, except for FOX News (Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, John Gibson, Neil Cavuto, Steve Doocy, E.D. Hill, Brian Kilmeade, Brit Hume), Clear Channel, Laura Ingraham, Dr. Laura, Rush Limbaugh, Hugh Hewitt, Ann Coulter, Newsmax, G. Gordon Liddy, Michael Reagan, Michael Savage, The New York Post, Sinclair Broadcast Group (WLOS13, Fox 45, WTTO21, WB49, KGAN, WICD, WICS, WCHS, WVAH, WTAT, WSTR, WSYX, WTTE, WKEF, WRGT, KDSM, WSMH, WXLV, WURN, KVWB, KFBT, WDKY, WMSN, WVTV, WEAR, WZTV, KOTH, WYZZ, WPGH, WGME, WLFL, WRLH, WUHF, KABB, WGGB, WSYT, WTTA), David Horowitz, Rupert Murdoch, PAX, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, they're right.

Maddox knows that conservatives love playing the "liberal media" card to bolster groundless arguments.
