The Libertarian to Fascist/NS pipeline: Reasons?
Posted: Wed Aug 14, 2024 7:49 am
There seems to be a phenomenon amongst many self described fascists, or national socialists or otherwise race conscious whites begin their political journey as libertarians and gradually transition into what they are today. So much a phenomenon that some liberal journalists have written articles on it, and liberals often treat libertarians with extreme suspicion.
Why does this happen? I’d like to think that it comes from young men who are disillusioned with the traditional left/right political framework and seek out an alternative view, which libertarianism seems to provide. Gradually, some realize that libertarianism is a fundamentally incoherent ideology. The hyper-individualistic nature of libertarianism makes it seem like it stands for everything and therefore stands for basically nothing at the same time. For example: one libertarian may support the LGBTQ+ madness whereas another opposes it. One supports abortion rights, and another is against it. How can anyone organize under the libertarian banner if they can’t even agree what they even stand for?
The only thing that libertarians seem to agree upon is their contempt for “tyrants” which usually means communists and Nazis, and their condemnation of pedophilia which mostly consists of one of their many power fantasies of throwing pedophiles into wood chippers feet first. I suspect, however the latter is just a majority view, and that there are a very small minority of self described libertarians that have their fingers deep in the business of producing child pornography and child sex trafficking.
I suspect many of these “reformed libertarians” were never truly libertarians at heart. They were likely nationalists who agreed with some of their rhetoric, but found themselves at odds with the “I want the gay couple down the street to be able to protect their marijuana plans with machine guns” crowd, and found an alternative that better suited their world view.
I’d like to hear from some of these “reformed libertarians” to see their view of what caused them to jump ship and join our ranks.
