Most people simply want to be left alone and live their lives. It’s ways the fringes that cause the uproar. What this country needs is for the good folks that want stability and peace to rose up to these fringe lunatics that want nanny state like control on both sides and tell them to frick off.

Libertarianism is how the modern left was allowed to exist in the first place. You can't expect something to NOT fill the vacuum. At one time traditional values, even if loosely practiced, were agreed upon by the vast majority of society. This includes hard work, honesty, integrity, modesty, patience, perseverance,etc.. These values provided a backdrop for our cultural values to form even if they weren't directly acknowledged most came from a Judeo-Christian tradition. All of that is being thrown away now.


Now that's been thrown aside as outdated values its left a void to be filled by the new social justice rooted in CRT value system. Libertarian "just leave me alone" existence has no defense against what's currently happening in the U.S. and western world. It's not a philosophy that brings people together to fight against bad ideas and it's not a philosophy that can root out bad philosophies because it permits anything.

If you stand for nothing then really you allow for anything.
