Dozen Values is the most granular of the political alignment quizzes I've done. Would recommend.

Excerpt from The Rebel's Dictionary (Jane T. Godfrey, ed.):
"Personal liberties", noun: being a dick.
@flyhigh @GNUmatic When I was young I considered myself a #Libertarian. It was because I lived among angry, impoverished people who never lived outside the #BubbleOfPrivilege. I came to understand that it is a #Euphemism for #Selfishness. I then became a #Republican because I am #FiscallyConservative. I taught at a girls school 100km north of Nairobi, Kenya (84-86). When #TrentLott changed the #GOP to the party of Bigots. I became a #Libtard. I've been across the spectrum.
I have a phrase I like to use with right-wing bootlickers: "You will never be a billionaire." (YWNBAB)
So far as channels like MSNBC are concerned (and I am including every major broadcast network here), I'm not sure #libertarian voices CAN get any more "silenced". Heck, half of those people can't tell the difference between a republican and a libertarian, even though the libertarian probably agrees with them on all sorts of issues, from #immigration to #harmreduction
#MSNBC's > The Reidout, Joyann #Reid's Show Has Been #Canceled
Nettwork are alligning with #Trump propaganda,
slowly all #Libertarian ad #Democratic voice will be silenced.
like in Russia.
The only way that the #trump administration and #doge will save the US taxpayers and citizens any money is by raising the taxes on the ultra rich and corporations. neoliberalism has failed time to throw away the childish #libertarian philosophy.
Lol. Lmao, even!
“When a group of libertarians set about scrapping their local government, chaos descended. And then the bears moved in.”
Seriously, fascinating read and investigation of what are the broader effects of libertarian policies. #reading #uspol #newhampshire #bears #libertarian

Somehow, though, no one who advocates for these things is willing to take them to their logical conclusion. And, tellingly, many of them accuse people who disagree with them of "not caring" about other people.
Seems odd to me that, as a #libertarian, I supposedly "don't care" about other people, and yet I want them to be free. Also seems odd that I spent so much time as a volunteer firefighter if I "don't care" about others.

I've always wanted to try keeping #bees. I've spent years reading about the #warre hive, bait hives, all sorts of things. Of course...such a thing has laws around it. And the law in #Idaho says that the director of agriculture or his agent can come onto the premises of any #beekeeper for inspection; no warning, no consent. Just having bees (or even equipment) means an unelected agent of the state can invade your property at any time. "Minor" #authoritarian situation.
Sure, taxation is theft, but if you think that is bad, wait until you hear about rent, interest, and profits!
