Libertarian is literally just an ideology of willful ignorance.

I mean, as far as I understand, the entire political compass was created by American right-leaning Liberatarians to try to make themselves seem more important than they actually are.

Notice how there's four political categories, and American right-leaning Libertarian is one of the four. Now compare that to the real world--do you really think American right-leaning libertarians represent 25% of the political views worldwide? It certainly doesn't represent very many governments worldwide, I'll say that much.

classical/economic liberalism was a fairly significant political philosophy historically in the West, and it's kind of fallacious to argue that because a section of a model isn't used as much (nowadays), the model as a whole is biased or flawed. Is Celsius a terrible temperature scale because it's focused on 0-100 yet we very rarely use the rang of 50-90 degrees (incidentally, yes, but you probably disagree). The way it's organized makes sense, and the scaling/centering bias should be pretty easy to calibrate just by comparing the positions of a couple of leaders whose policies we understand well.

yup, dude where's my freedom. the following people regularly posted in it:

smartmuffin - left the board
jdtay - left the board (after a ton of users ganged up on him)
foolmo - still posts
santarpg - still posts
EC - still posts (from what i can tell, he mostly stopped posting about politics after DWMF disappeared, though)

not all of those users are/were necessarily libertarians, though. even though muffin created DWMF, calling him a "libertarian" is a stretch, since he was a huge trump supporter. and i don't remember what the philosophy jdtay adhered to was called but it wasn't quite libertarianism. "absolute passive anarchy" or something?

i'm sure there are also some libertarian users around who didn't post in DWMF.

jdtay left after he said he wanted to crash a b8er wedding and shoot up the place, but wouldn't because he was a pacifist, so the "ganged up" description is a little....

oh yeah, i didn't mean to imply that the attacks on jdtay were not warranted - because they were. just saying he left because of that whole thing.

(and yeah, guess he claimed to be an "absolute pacifist" or something like that.)
