Rats Magazine @rats-magazine.bsky.social · 08/10/2025Real truth has predictive power. If it were true that libertarians cared about protecting lives and freedom, they would be outraged at the president deploying troops domestically to intimidate us. Since libertarians aren’t outraged, we can conclude they don’t care about protecting lives and freedom. 020 2
Rats Magazine @rats-magazine.bsky.social · 07/10/2025Growing up, my family had no empathy for me, so I grew to believe empathy was irrelevant. That made me into a libertarian. Later, I learned empathy was good. Now I’m not a libertarian. 010 1

Rats Magazine @rats-magazine.bsky.social · 01/10/2025I’m glad I’m not a libertarian anymore because I am concerned when the federal government sends federal troops into US states to kill US citizens for their political beliefs but libertarians overwhelmingly think that’s no big deal. So that’s a big difference between us. 010 1
