    Yeah, I was a Libertarian myself until the early 2000’s. Not anymore though.

    Their anything goes gun stance became, to me, a red line after school shootings became a daily thing in the US. Watching them parade RFK and Donald at their convention in 2024 demonstrated that maybe their principles aren’t exactly as strong as they say they are.

    But we’d be better off Johnson had been elected. 100%. Too bad people cared more about Syria than whether or not Americans can eat.

            DENNIS: I told you. We’re an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.

            ARTHUR: Yes.

            DENNIS: But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting.

            ARTHUR: Yes, I see.

            DENNIS: By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs–

            ARTHUR: Be quiet!

            DENNIS: –but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more–

            ARTHUR: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!

              I mean, unironically a decent framework to start with. Arthur cant handle it because as a monarch it is chaos to him

                Sure it sounds good in theory, but were any of your little “anarcho-syndicalist” buddies bestowed the blade Excalibur by the Lady of the Lake? Didn’t think so, libtard.

                  Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
