A particular faction of self-identified libertarians seem to like Vivek, but I'm not a fan. His 'national libertarianism' seems like an attempt to reconcile MAGA with libertarianism, which won't work because the two philosophies are intrinsically opposed. I don't even think he is committed to any ideology or philosophy, but is rather a populist who would say anything to win support. (I suspect he really wants to be president one day, and is making preparations accordingly.) He's certainly not libertarian enough for me, either way.
Basically, consistent truth regarding the puritanical Libertarians, is the same old same old, which is as great as the philosophy is that maybe there is a reason we get such embarrassing voting numbers. I always vote in for President Libertarian, but I do think we need some modulation. Well maybe this extremism is in the globes water. I dont mean just populists, i meant elites, and the Monarchism, and wokeism, ( i say that gently, always preface its not the issue of gender identity, its the extremism of implementation of it ) It This is where I come back to Libertarian, is that so many of these Social Constructs, are then doomed to failed with using another synthetic Social Construct to correct it. So, my Mantra still remains. the E.R.A. of 1964 and MLK, and Thomas Jefferson, and Mother Theresa and a little Gondi, oh and a little Thomas Paine, sprinkled with John Locke, and you get one hell of a railroad...!!.
I actually really coming around through your writings about pragmatic approaches, and i frankly think this is a problem. I don't just mean in politics. I know its a problem in our psyche. Because I have been on and off again as a cab driver,. And Its no lie that when you're out there in the world on the street you get a feel for things.. And lets just say. that.... this sense of extremism on all levels is extreme even in the traffic..lol the traffic itself and the lack of well "Consensus", even getting from point A to point B can be treacherous. But I hope you get around to reading what I wrote on Consensus and Stupidity. Im not the writer you are, but I am trying to find a way to connect out here and everywhere instead of enforcing disconnection.
Thanks for the interview and many good points. What are your opinions about "national libertarians" as presented by Vivek Ramaswamy recently?
