There is a no kings protest in my rural area every Saturday organized by some boomer action group.

It’s always the same knitting circle, I suppose if it gets them out and socializing whatever. I find it hard to get too upset at old people especially ones from my region that speak my dialect

>implying they'll actually remember this war they've spent the past several years screeching about rather than just moving on to the next Outrage of the Month
 
Watching Rand Paul and Thomas Massie go full retard has got me wondering, was the Libertarian party always this bad? I first got interested in politics near the end of W's second term and Obama's election. Back then, I would have identified as a Libertarian because I liked the idea of small government, not being the world's police, auditing the Federal Reserve, etc. I remember getting pretty upset at how the Republicans screwed over Ron Paul to try and prop up a couple of awful neocons. That all put me off of politics for a while, especially since around that time I got married and my wife and I started having kids, I really just didn't have the mental space for politics any more. Fast forward to late 2015, I started to get into it again with Trump running and saying a lot of things I wanted to hear. At some point after that I checked into what Libertarians were saying, and it was all about legalizing drugs, open borders (or at the very least importing infinity jeets for the tech sector), and lowering the age of consent, all of which made me embarrassed to have ever said I supported them. That got me wondering, was Libertarianism always this bad and I just never got deep into it enough to notice, or did it go off the rails at some point when I wasn't paying attention?

No.

Regarding the Libertarian party, they have smelled the blood in the water and are gearing up for the 2032 election cycle to gobble up the DNCs "right wing" voting base as possibly those that got disillusioned by the Trump/Vance GOP. For 2028 they dont yet stand a chance and are going to spare with the democrats, but until the 2032 enough libtardian Boomers are going to have keeled over that the Liberterian are very likely going to replace the Democrats as the second party of the USA with the Xillenial vote.

I think the problem was the success of ron Paul he brought a lot of people to the libertarian movement and not all of them shared his exact ideals and instead saw an opportunity to promote their ideas, the same happened to burnies alt party for the democrats it was taken over by mouth breathers because he was too popular with low iq individuals who wanted to make socialism great again

Nimrod is an evil character in the Bible. He built the tower of Babel, attempted to murder Abraham twice (once as a baby and once as an adult when he cast Abraham into the furnace), and championed idol worship.

The Zionists who founded Israel liked to pick biblical names without thinking about the character traits of the person who bore the name. Nimrod means rebellious and the Zionists were rebelling against the British.

It's like being a Christian and naming your baby Judas or Nero.

That's another one of those things that's not in the Tanakh/OT, but is in the other stuff, because from my memory, he's just mentioned in genealogies.
Genesis 10
8;And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

9:He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.

10;And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

I guess that verse 10 doesn't come up much in Christianity, but the whole story about Nimrod trying to kill Abraham is entirely unknown from the Christian cannon, but I seem to recall it being said that traditionally her built the tower. There's 10 generations after the tower before Abram if I'm reading it right. I swear modern Judaism is as bad as Catholicism about dragging in human traditions and treating them as scripture. At least you're not getting them from the Gnostics like they did with the Marian Dogmas.

As the Tea Party gained steam and weed became more legal it opened up room in The Big Tent for the "pot smoking independent contractors" wing of the libertarians, and that took a lot of the less batshit people leaving the "heroin in one arm, an eighth year old on the other" types
