This is where the Libertarian Party is now.
If you don’t support rioting to protect illegal immigrants, you’re a tyrant, according to the Libertarian Party.
The term is peaceably assemble and petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Rioting, blocking others from traveling, committing violent acts and arson, are not peaceable or a petition.
I just can’t be a libertarian. I like classical liberal or perhaps Lockean liberal better.

Huh. “Protestors” cosplaying “human.” Interesting, but I guess everyone needs a hobby.

Like most modern institutions libertarianism has been co-opted by the communist long march through the institutions. Pretty much just like everything else these days. This includes portions of the Republican party as well.

I was never really ‘comfortable’ with any of the labels previously in existence, so I kinda tried to stay away from any of them, though it is mostly inevitable… And I don’t think that’s an accident. One of the premises discussed in 1984 is the concept of Newspeak, which is explained as a way of controlling thought. If people don’t have a word to describe their outrage, they don’t have a way of organizing to fight it. I think at this stage its mostly used for the false dichotomy – your team vs. my team. That’s one reason they idea of third (and fourth and fifth) parties never actually works (see every coalition government in Europe, ever) parties is doomed to fail. It’s just divide and conquer dressed up as ‘choice’.
