right-"libertarian" thought is an entire ideology built around rationalizing why individuals and institutions who have power bear no responsibility to those who lack power

@lipsticksocialist that’s basically where you end up if you maximize individual liberty. from that perspective the individual is under no obligation to help others. they certainly can and should, but it has to be optional since the first premise is individual liberty. unless you can construe not helping as a direct act of aggression i guess. a side note, using “scare quotes” add an unnecessary emotional element to the conversation. right libertarians are people too, so it is valuable to find common ground because cooperation is how things get done. ideological purity really has very little utility.

@lippsticksocialist@asstodon.social are you saying I am obligated to give you something just because I own more than you?

@lipsticksocialist it is one's own responsibility to become powerfulpeople choose to be complacent under those few individuals and institutions. if you arent one of them, use this to your advantage and quit defending those who have a choice and dont take it

@xj9 @lipsticksocialist You have to look at history, any system that's left of center has always had to oppress people that are anti socialist for the system to survive, right libertarian ideology has maximum freedom and minimum oppression
