Democracy is incompatible with the libertarian worship of property.

Nice of you to admit that government violates individual rights, including property rights. I totally agree.

Yes, why did we ever abandon feudalism?

Disastrous Consequences?

Damn those dastardly libertarians, running all over the place aggressively leaving people alone and not taking their money.
Democracy A civil society is incompatible with the libertarian worship of property self.

No reason to keep eating that CFA hate chicken. By all accounts, Popeyes' new chicken sandwich is better.
I had my first CFA sandwich today. I cannot for the life of me understand enduring the slightest amount of inconvenience for one of those things. It was okay, but it was certainly not sit-in-a-17-car-drive-through-line-in-100°-heat good. Or even a three-car line, for that matter. (I have been to three Popeyes in the last three days, all of which were out of sandwiches.)

But let me tell you about my visit to CFA in more detail. I parked and went in (because the drive through queue was half a city block long) and was behind a group of five high school aged boys. Approximately 14.3 seconds after entering the business, the tallest of the boys up and passed out on his feet. One of his friends caught him and eased him down, supporting his head. I knelt down and did a quick first aid check, but it was pretty clear that whatever the kid was on it was a wee bit too much of it; he was rubbing his hair and softly chuckling the whole time. It turns out, this was his second fall down while standing in that line, and 911 had actually already been called when he dropped after my arrival. Also, as luck would have it the CFA is literally across the street from a fire/EMT station, so responders were on-scene before I even finished taking the kid's pulse.

So my afternoon was defined by sub-par chicken and ODing teenagers. Yay.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Treated Again For Cancer
You know Trump has to be salivating over this news.
When she finally does go, I hope she donates her body to science. She's like Ellie in The Last Of Us who is able to resist the cordyceps infection.

"What's that you say? Cancer? Pancreatic cancer..... again? Ugh, just burn it with a cigarette or something, I have a meeting at 3."

Do you think feudalism and libertarianism are the same thing?

That's like saying the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Vancouver Whitecaps play the same sport.

No, just that feudalism seems to be the only social design compatible with libertarians.

White nationalist links were shared multiple times throughout various agencies.

Seems pretty standard for racists.

Anarchists, sure. But I think there are several flavors of libertarian that actually acknowledge the need for infrastructure and slavery taxation.

That’s just the basis for complaining about the current corporate democracy. You can definitely argue about how the current design is not a democracy, but the natural extension of the ideal libertarian society is the ability for the propertied class to oppress those with no means.

"Do I want him to resign? Let me put it this way: If he did, I wouldn’t stop him," Trump told reporters as he left the White House for the Group of Seven (G-7) summit in France, adding that he was "not happy" with Powell.

"I don't think he's much of a chess player. But I've got him," he said.
What a joke.

Feudalism was a centralized government oligarchic autocracy which enslaved those outside of the privileged elite.

What does that have to do with libertarianism?

The governing structure that is est designed to absolutely protect the properties class from those below is feudalism. Quit complaining about a completely reasonable inference.
