I’m not really a big fan of this facebook meme, because I’d take the solo boat and some basic paddles any day over a large ship full of idiots with no means to propel itself.
Careful with that way of thinking, because labeling everyone who fails as “idiots” means that if you fail (and we all do sometimes), the idiot would be you. And people don’t have to die or live a miserable life for failing, because we have no control of a lot of things in life that can make us fail.
I don’t get why the activity of mocking Libertarians is so popular on Reddit and Lemmy. It’s a 3rd party that never wins elections, and promotes individual freedom and fiscal responsibility. So what?
Because they promote selfishness, and given their way, would benefit few at the expense of many. Humans are inherently stronger as a group than alone. We need to use that strength to do things for the common good, such as providing services such as fire fighters, libraries, and education. Libertarians would prefer to avoid helping anyone but themselves.
