See: Bolsonaro. :^)

Furthermore, considering how heavily Fascism's been criticized for being unapologetically opportunistic and ideologically dishonest (and before we act like these are unfounded criticisms, the actions of the historical Fascist regimes and the credentials of the critics would easily prove that they're entirely founded on reality), it's not that hard to consider the environmentalism to be one of a million bullshit talking points meant to spur on support.

But, nah! Fascists would never ever ever EVER lie to get what they want! Why, that'd be uncouth!

Libertarianism is a silly ideology and you know it. The majority of libertarians are either liberals who don’t want to be recognized as such or conservatives who don’t want to be recognized as such

evictions and 'blood of dissidents and minorities' are two completely different levels

not like it doesn't happen in modern south africa against whites anyway, plenty of government-enforced evictions of white farmers and documented cases of black policemen targeting afrikaners, so do you want to call modern south africa fascist?

I assumed a principled libertarian would favor abstention.

I mean, when the 2015 Argie presidential election came down to neolib Macri and peronist Scioli, the actually, honestly principled communists called for left-wing voters to cast blank ballots. When pressed to choose between two incredibly flawed candidates, but one of which supported policies somewhere in the vicinity of their own, they refused to choose altogether. They stood by their ideals even when they knew it could (and did) partially lead to a victory for the most right-wing candidate.

Why can't right-wing libertarians do the same? :thonk:

With Videla he wouldn't even be able to argue that it's all justified because of "muh economy", given that Videla's dictatorship left our economy in shambles after applying a bunch of neocon policies.
