Libertarians/Freedom To Bully All Sides, All Sizes
I have never quite been able to figure out
What it is exactly
That libertarians stand for.
I know what they think they stand for
But to stand for liberty
To stand for less
In the land of slavery and capitalism and
More more more
Is more than a bit
Hypocritical.
I used to identify as a libertarian until
I realized that the majority of people there
Were largely United by their hatred
Of fat people—
Not their love of freedom—
Their love of freedom to say
Whatever the fuck they want to say
About anyone—
They don’t want to drag race into it
Or sex, or gender, or guns, or what have you—
They want freedom
The freedom to be a fucking asshole
It doesn’t matter what you believe in
With those people
Because they believe in the opposite
Of whatever you suggest. No exceptions
An ideology hell bent on contrarianism
Fueled by contempt for all others and
Offended by the notion
Of respecting boundaries,
Boundaries here meaning
A impingement on an individuals freedom—which
In essence
Is what a law, is.
There are great and terrible ones but
To pick fights with laws at all
Is to pick fights with fucking everything
Kinda reminds me of the
Non-binary, antigender extremist
I used to feel like I was—
I digress
I used to identify as someone
Who wanted more and more freedom
Until I realized
What those sorts of people
Try and do with it.
Perhaps some things are innovative, and
Others are selfish. I wonder how time
Will appreciate those who pride themselves
On investing less and less, as opposed to those
Who share the wealth.
