Trolling libertarians

I dislike Libertarians because they're politics are negative (in a philosophical sense) and as unrealistic and Utopian as any socialist. They are often obsessed with minor issues like vaping, and miss the big picture issues like immigration. They are cult-like in their worship of Hayek, Mises, etc.

I've been trolling Catallaxy for a couple of months, very irregularly - perhaps five posts in total.

My latest troll:
white supremacists exist in the mind of libertards who want to virtue-signal while cucking for the Left’s framing of their opponents as such. basically: libertardianism = cuckoldry. discuss.
The context is not really important, as I am just trolling for a reaction, but if you want to read the thread in full: David Leyonhjelm. Don’t let the terrorists and supremacists win

The more I thought about my troll the more I realised it was true! Not that Libertarians are actual cucks (though that would certainly be permitted under their morality), but that Libertarianism does concede defeat to the Left in its framing of issues. Let me explain:

The Libertarian wants to be free. But free from what? Answer: The Left and its totalitarianism through the state. Immediately Libertards have framed their politics in terms of the Left. They accepts the Left's framing, much of their terminology and many of their assumptions without thinking.

The Libertard likes to pretend they pursue their politics based on some objective, intellectual foundations, but that's just B.S. Just look at what they talk about 80% of the time. It's all in opposition to the Left - trying to concede as little ground as possible, not promoting something new, positive and realistic of their own.

Libertards have cucked on the debate/framing, but now all they ask is to be left alone. This is slave morality.

A follow up troll:
further, the libertard is beholden to slave morality in his pursuit of liberty. 

this pursuit is negative though; he does not seek the good, rather freedom from constraint. like a slave, he has no virtue of his own to pursue. he is but a gimp yearning to be free.

Multiculturalism is responsible for every war in history (almost)

people informally segregate all the time. You will find various ethnic enclaves in Melbourne and Sydney. Ethnocentric in-group preference is also seen in choice of friends and communication levels among work colleagues of different ethnic backgrounds. While there may be enough tolerance to allow semi-deracinated individuals to participate in capitalism and consumerism, the reality is that in-group preference is innate and Multiculturalism/diversity should be avoided a much as possible, because it breaks down social cohesion and trust. Diversity is our greatest weakness - an observable, scientific reality (footnote: Robert Putnam). Remember that forced integration has lead to many conflicts in the 20th and 21st century. WWI and Hitler would not have happened if various ethnic groups had sovereignty rather than being under the thumb of oppressive empires. Iraq and Israel/Palestine are two current examples of Multicultural conflicts. There is widespread revolt against forced integrati...

How Liberalism enslaves

Aristotle, the Stoics and other ancient Greco-Roman moralists posit a very different idea of 'freedom' that involves combating the tendencies that divert us from human flourishing and contributing to our community as social animals. It is naturalistic, albeit pre-Darwinist, but it is not dogmatic like Liberalism, Leftism, etc. This ancient teach us what freedom really is, and Stoic practices in particular can inculcate an honest sense of autonomy. Liberalism claims to grant people autonomy but it only gives them a false sense of it. It effectively enslaves people to denial of their biology, hedonistic consumerism, keeping up with the Jones', seeking celebrity, lower quality social and family relations, workplace and other forms of alienation, pursuit of happiness in all the wrong places: career, travel, shiny things, sleeping around, taking drugs, etc. Liberalism won't necessarily lead to all these things, but it makes people vulnerable to their marketing, and being h...

Equality, Liberalism and the Big State

Shelley makes Liberalism sounds as idealistic and Utopian as any religion. I even see some parallels with the Sermon on the Mount. What is the relation between 'equality' and the 'individual'. (I don't think we are equal and my reification of the 'individual' has become weaker lately). Must one have a strong view of equality to have a strong view of the individual and their 'rights'? I think so, although those regimes pushing equality the strongest - the Communists - have ended up being the most hierarchical and totalitarian of all, with the State on top and the plebs below. Equality ends ups sacrificing individual 'rights' for the sake of whatever new set of individual 'rights' are trendy at the time. e.g. we need to pretend that homosexual relationships are equal to heterosexual ones therefore our 'free speech' right is sacrificed so as to protect the new 'freedom from hurt feelings' right of another. New indiv...
