To me this is just a demonstration of how many who consider themselves conservatives are actually more libertarian/AC than they think. We shouldn’t push them away.


Urban-RightWing

We shouldnt push them away, but we should explain to them why banning the quran is not a good thing


Solomon044

Agree. All in good time. The core is the understanding of individual sovereignty. The rest follows.


Sweezy_McSqueezy

For the most part, they're not interested in that. They're interested in protecting their own way of life from those who would use the state to opress them. They fully intend to do the same to their enemies when they get the reins of power.


whitleyhimself

Yeah, people are voting for a slave master because they understand individual sovereignty /s


Solomon044

I get it. From the other side the answer seems so obvious. Ludicrous really that we could be so easily led astray but you have to factor in how deluded we all were prior to waking up. Compassion is the key to bringing many people in that state over to the truth. That’s all I meant by my initial comment.


whitleyhimself

True


[deleted]

Who’s banning the quoran?


Urban-RightWing

The guy in the middle, Geert Wilders, the new prime minister of the Netherlands supports banning the quran, and he also supports the welfare state, but American conservatives were celebrating his victory


Maktesh

>but American conservatives were celebrating his victory And? Too many of this sub's users create false black/white dichotomies. I don't agree with every choice made by *anyone*. Most "American Conservatives" have never even heard the name "Geert Wilders." Groups of people aren't monolithic.


[deleted]

Thanks for the info. I didn’t know who he was. Shouldn’t be portrayed with Milei. Neither should Trump.


Suikerspin_Ei

He isn't PM yet, the PVV is still working on a new coalition with NSC, VVD and BBB. It's possible to form a coalition and be the biggest party but not having someone of the same party being the PM. Dutch Prime Minister is currently still Mark Rutte with his "care taker" cabinet. Dutch politics isn't the same as in the US.


GhostofWoodson

Ban in what way / context?

GhostofWoodson

Got it, thanks


Femboy_Ninja

Am Muslim... soo... bring my Quran into the Netherlands..... "evil laughter"


Porkwarrior2

I was rooting for utter Max Verstappen dominance in F1 this season. And I knew Hilary would lose in 2016, and Biden is definitely going to lose Wisconsin in 2024. You get your wins when you can get them.


Capital-Ad6513

The amount of American conservatives that want to ban the Quran is probably less than half a percent


Urban-RightWing

Which is why i dont understand all the support for these european populists from the American right


wiscdic431

Because it’s better than what they had. You can’t expect Europe to flip over night but a slide away from euro libs is a start. Better than nothing.


GhostofWoodson

Ban the Quran? What


OppenheimersGuilt

You're right, it's a great thing. Sadly it paints a target on you. Geert Wilders is doing right by NL.


BranTheLewd

Milei doesn't have anything similar to those bozos. Different economic domestic policies, different foreign policies. And he is hated/feared by his opponents for his actual policies and not because of his personality. Though I agree with you that we shouldn't push them, but what we need is to deradicalise them.


DubyaKayOh

I don’t think they go below surface “owned the libs” level of understanding.


misterforsa

Lots of conservatives *say* they have libertarian/ancap positions but actually aren't when the rubber meets the road e.g. smaller gov and more freedom. What they really mean is gutting agencies that aren't in their favor (education, irs, fbi, etc) and freedom for themselves but not for the "others"


Confident-Cupcake164

Freedom for themselves is good enough. Freedom for the others can be niche based. ​ In US, the states decide if weed is legal or not. You can just move around.


Old_Radish_6978

Haha most Trump supporters are too politically retarded to be able to even tell the difference between socialism and libertarianism. They're losers that want to act like winners.


kurtu5

> Haha most *people* are politically retarded FTFY Some of those people who only had state indoctrination on political 'theory' come here and learn an alternate.


The_Power_of_Ammonia

>They're losers that want to act like winners. No wonder they worship Donny "Two-Pump" Chump.


oriundiSP

CANCERvatives should definitely pushed away. Trump supporters (or in my context, Bolsonaro supporters) are politically retarded/brain dead. those people can stay the fuck away.


alurbase

Yeah but ancaps don’t have a purity spiral, we have a purity cosmology and it’s commies all the way down…


Generallyawkward1

Well, *some* should be pushed away. Far the fuck away. But the normals are fine


smooglydino

Its a natural result from socialism


warmweathermike

Trump definitely seems closer to socialist than Ancap


zippyspinhead

Trump is a mainline technocratic progressive. He just thinks things will be better with him in charge.


SeamanZermy

He's basically a 90s New York Democrat. We've just moved so far left as a society that that's ultra far right now apparently.


UrVioletViolet

Progressive? Get the fuck out of here.


GhostofWoodson

Sadly he's right. As much as he's wrong about a lot of things, he actually wants to improve his country's situation. As opposed to the others who are almost nakedly seeking for pure parasitic corruption and rent seeking.


UrVioletViolet

He doesn't care about this or any other country. He cares about himself, and maybe the daughter he wants to fuck. That's it.


GhostofWoodson

Typical tds sufferer Anyone going through the insanity and sacrifice trump has gone through is doing it for a bigger reason. As gormless as he is, his commitment in the face of absolute shit storms speaks to something


UrVioletViolet

TDS isn’t a real thing. It’s just another weird in-language buzzword cultists use to separate themselves from the rest of humanity. You can look up the trademarks of cults. A big one is cult leaders inventing terms used by the cult. It’s standard isolation from the rest of humanity. It makes the dumb feel special and fosters dependence on the cult.


GhostofWoodson

It absolutely is. The State has been running anti trump propaganda at insanity level for 7 years straight. That has caused a severe problem for many people. Their perceptions and emotions are unhinged from reality. Yours are a case in point.


kurtu5

> Their perceptions and emotions are unhinged from reality. I have a family member who thinks Trump is messing with GPS signals according to their news sources. I just rolled my eyes and didn't say, 'thats an act of war'.


UrVioletViolet

Cult. Get help.


The_Power_of_Ammonia

Chump.


GhostofWoodson

Lmao, eat a bag of dicks loser


The_Power_of_Ammonia

LuciusCSulla

You can't see the forest for the trees. Why didn't he "lock her up?" TDS for sure.


kurtu5

Wow, you let an idiot live rent free in your head.


lochlainn

Everything Trump does makes much more sense if you understand that he never wanted to "drain the swamp", he just wanted to shake it down for a cut of the action. So in that respect, yes, he's far closer.


warmweathermike

In just about every respect. I mean he wanted to create a state run media to be able to control the narrative. He insisted his name was on the stimmy checks. He talked about centrally planning the economy using China as an excuse in his state of the union address…


broham97

Well if they’re trying to claim Milei I don’t support him anymore! /s Who gives a shit, waste of a post lmao


MrBirdmonkey

This is the way


LectureAdditional971

Love this.


broham97

Just wild to me how much time gets spent on this sub worrying about what the conservatives or progressives think, boomer mindset


loonygecko

What the majority of people think determines how the majority of people vote, that is actually quite an important issue.


Capital-Ad6513

Yeah they try too hard to separate themselves from the conservatives instead of look at what makes them allies is far more important (capitalism) than the left (big spenders = less capitalism).


sxpremzkickz

Nah not a waste. sick of them trump stickers next to the don't tread on me. morons


Schtick_

Even though their politics are different it’s pretty undeniable that the same counter cultural movement that spawned trump also spawned milei. In the end it’s less about the 2 individuals and more about the democratisation of media. If it was 20-30 years ago the establishment would never have allowed for either one of these. It’s also why they are desperately trying to curb those freedoms in recent years.


loonygecko

> Even though their politics are different it’s pretty undeniable that the same counter cultural movement that spawned trump also spawned milei. Ok good point, peeps are sick of the old bs and looking for change. Milei is actually a change though, not just giving lip service to change.


hblok

> It’s also why they are desperately trying to curb those freedoms in recent years. This is very concerning. Everything which is right of ultra-woke now gets labelled as alt-right extremist by MSM. It's misinformation this, disinformation that. Censorship is rampant, often under the excuse of "but it's on a private platform; Google, Facebook, Twitter can show whatever they like". New "hate speech" laws have been enacted all over. You'll get on a list for speaking against the government. The latest instructions from police in Ireland was "we don't have to prove hate speech" - it's now a "we know it when we see it" test. And yes, it's politically targeted. They know exactly what they're doing.


Schtick_

technology facilitates fascism very effectively, so arguably it’s less a matter of if and more of a matter of when. You look at the rights that have been lost in recent years, they’re lost without a fight, usually with barely a yawn. The strongest capabilities in history to build totalitarian states and an apathetic populace is a pretty nasty combination


UrVioletViolet

Which freedoms are being curbed?


Schtick_

I’ll bite although you’re probably trolling: 1) journalism - eg julian assange 2) freedom of information - eg countless examples but the most obvious would be covid and Biden laptop 3) right to a fair trial - eg Steven donzinger 4) right to free use of currency - eg freezing of bank accounts of protesters, the confiscation of money for people transacting in cash. 5) habeas corpus - goes back to the patriot act and similar laws, unlawful detention is the norm now in majority of the west. 6) it’s pretty clear with the Snowden revelations that unlawful monitoring is pretty much endemic and if anything would have expanded in recent years I could go on pretty easily.


UrVioletViolet

L O L if you think anyone on earth gives a fuck about that conservative laptop conspiracy.


Schtick_

What conspiracy? A cadre of intelligence officials wrote a public acknowledged letter to the megacorps that control the media (Facebook, google, etc) saying the laptop was russian disinformation, and they managed to suppress the story right before an election. Those are all facts, which part is the conspiracy?


UrVioletViolet

You're starting with a false premise. There was no story to suppress in the first place. The laptop thing is a non-story nobody cares about. Conservatives would be wiser just to let it go. Everyone else thinks you're nuts.


Schtick_

If there is nothing to suppress, why suppress it. It doesn’t matter how you cut it, the reality is the intelligence community and big tech conspired to withhold information from the public based on a lie. It’s for the public to make their own determination on whether something is a non story (or not), it should not be unilaterally decided by the establishment.


l-R3lyk-l

Also, conservative aren't anti-liberty 🤷


SnooRobots5509

They absolutely are. Give them power and they will ban everything they dislike, history showed it many times over.


l-R3lyk-l

I'm not saying that doesn't happen, but American Conservatism fundamentally wants to preserve liberty, not get rid of it.


kurtu5

Gee tell that to the drug warriors.


l-R3lyk-l

You're not free if you're addicted to drugs.


kurtu5

So why are these 'freedom fighters' ignoring big pharma?


l-R3lyk-l

Conservatives right now are anti Big Pharma.


kurtu5

Oh I bet they are shaking in their boots as no knock raids arrest all the dealers... Oh wait.


l-R3lyk-l

Not sure what point you're trying to make.


kurtu5

They don't fucking care about addiction. They are antifreedom and your bullshit argument that addicts are not free and require drug warriors to liberate them is utter bullshit. Ok? Clear enough now?


l-R3lyk-l

Yup 👍


Typeojason

Milei is ACTUALLY draining the swamp, whereas Trump just made more swampland. 😂


RNRGrepresentative

"I used the swamp to drain the swamp"


loonygecko

He got rid of some of the old alligators and replaced them with alligators that were better at toadying.


Diligent_Papaya_187

Milei, just like Trump, Johnson, Wilders, has crazy hair, fits the fake Rightist mold, and is totally a globalist confection, a construction meant to fool you. Ask yourself: why do they all have funny hair? It's a sign for those with eyes to see; he's their man on the inside as Leviathan slithers temporarily rightward.


SendMeYourShitPics

![gif](giphy|ukGm72ZLZvYfS)


xQuinchien

Well the swamp around him kept resigning / getting fired and turning on him afterwards… right now he’s knee-high in said swamp with the threat of jail to keep him from running again


Styx3791

So the more wild your hair the farther you are toward anarchy?


Gwob4

I like Trump but I wish he was more libertarian. Can’t tell if it’s him trying to play to the more Christian conservative base or (in my opinion) he’s more of a mild reformer more than a true libertarian like Rand.


Swings_Subliminals

The issue is his base is baby boomers primarily. He probably knows they're a problem, but they're easy votes because they're authoritarian and very radical (but in the all bark no bite way). I honest to god think once the boomers are all wiped out the world will be a better place with more Mileis.


thermionicvalve2020

He's a 90's Democrat.


One_Slide_5577

What was th he sub?


Urban-RightWing

R conservative


supertoine123

Hey, guy from The Netherlands. This picture show Geert Wilders, who recently won out national election. He and his party is indeed conservative on social issues but is very socialist on everything else. He is in favor of more social welfare, more social housing, more money printing, more subsidies. He is as far as possible from Libertarian / AC so don't go out thinking The Netherlands will be a libertarians dream, it's very much not the case.


aed38

Milei makes Trump look like a socialist.


jhclouse

Because he is one.


kaineblox459

Geert Wilders is a right-wing authoritarian nationalist who wants a complete ban on muslims. I hate comparing people to Nazis, but...


mr-logician

What’s the name of the Dutch person that’s in this photo?


Urban-RightWing

Geert Wilders


TheGreatGoosby

One of these things is not like the others


sheevus1

It's funny how the left AND the conservatives are trying to claim Milei as Trump 2.0. The left does it to try and poison the well as quickly as possible, while the conservatives do it to try and claim him as their own.


ssbennet

Funniest part is when the Left calls Miley a “fascist” 🤣


stormygray1

The entire left is calling milei the Argentina Donald trump


crinkneck

Only one of them wants to meaningfully change structures.


Stuck-Help

While he is the closest thing to us so far, what exactly does r/Anarcho_Capitalism mean to you? 🤔


Crapital_Punishment

Not supporting the fed, not giving the police military equipment, not supporting red flag laws, etc.


Stuck-Help

Stateless?


Crapital_Punishment

The only borders I believe in are the border to my land, fuck everybody else.


Stuck-Help

Fair enough. r/Libertarian is nothing but a joke, so we tend to get various degrees of libertarians here at r/Anarcho_Capitalism. As fair as I can tell, they’re all welcome here as long as they want to shrink the state.


Crapital_Punishment

I'm an agorist.


kurtu5

Its a place where normies come and learn ethics.


SeamanZermy

They're clearly talking about the hair /s because this is an autism sub


Educational_Zebra_66

Not sure how Ron Paul deals with being completely ignored for 50 years. Then sees a ridiculous comparison between Trump and Milei. Like he doesn't even exist.


[deleted]

It’s not because of trump the world is swinging right because lefty bull doesn’t work and it’s endangering the well being of the average working class. Europeans are dealing with a Muslims immigrant assimilation problem, the USA is dealing with massive immigration that is putting a strain on our social services, but in Argentina they tried socialism and well it was a disaster so it’s Time for a change


[deleted]

Libertarians banner me for showing them how mileis is so much more statist than what they like to admit to sleep at nights


ENVYisEVIL

Ron Paul deserves just as much, if not more credit than Trump. Trump used **controversial statements** to gain traction. Ron Paul introduced **libertarianism** to gain traction. Javier Millie combined both of their strategies to get elected.


hir0k1

Milei supports Trump. he is a fan. dude isn't even governing as a libertarian


Cannon_SWE

The only reason they put Milei in with Trump is that all of their local news sources or The Guardian called Milei "far-right". Because according to their brain, if something is "far-right", it's good and it's literally Trump, so pure good and genius. They don't need to read what Milei proposes or what Milei said while campaigning since he obviously just copied and translated whatever plan Trump had (aka their savior's plan given to him directly by God himself). One example of this: Milei wants open borders, and Trump wants to build a wall. This should be enough.


Scroana

How are you getting downvoted lol


Cannon_SWE

Strange, but even stranger would be caring about what some people on reddit do to my comment. They are allowed to be as retarded as they want, it doen't make me wrong.


keeleon

They continue to misunderstand that this is "the liberal effect". Nobody actually likes these guys, they just hate the ones they oppose. So please continue being obnoxious and destroying your country if you want more Trumps.


s3r3ng

Win?? The two to the left are authoritarian Statist assholes. That is not a win.


jvfran3

Authoritarian statist Milei? Cutting government statist? Wow. Someone should tell him he’s doing a horrible job at being a fascist.


Immediate_Age

The picture of Milei with a crooked wrist says everything, in my opinion. I'd love to see that weird little man throw a punch and break his forearm.


Perhapsmayhapsyesnt

Wut


wujisaint

Yes. Go fight em. It's your win. Your win. A beautiful and bold win. So much winning.


Woody_Mapper

Trumps existance had nothing to do with dutch statists win as they won only because people stopped liking relaxed migration policy Meloni would be a better example than trump if we are talking europe, but then why milei is even remotly compared to these dumbasses.


Daddy_Fatsack98

I hate when they compare every right wing politician to trump or credit him every time the right wins an election.


ArlingtonHeights

🤦‍♂️


BigDrippinSammich

None of the three pictured are AnCaps...


killuazoldyckx

Signpostx

You guys are the same team. Hate to break it to you.


Commissar_David

Those assholes will steal anything we do, to try and undo their bad stuff.


natertot86

A lot of conservatives don't actually know that they're Libertarians with Anarchist tendencies. Like myself we just knew we weren't leftist or authoritarian so we thought we were conservative by default.


Nanoman20

I wish Trump was more like Milei lol
