@antanicus gotta have that state imposed control of ideas tho that one for sure

Jono Ferguson

@antanicus this is one of those things I want to go and make sure is a parody, but I'm too scared as i'll likely find something far far worse.

Smári McCarthy

@antanicus can Americans please stop calling those people "liberals"? There's nothing liberal about this kind of view. In most of the world, "liberal" implies "in favor of liberty", not "in favor of banning stuff that doesn't benefit rich people enough".

Goth'n'Bass

@smari @antanicus So, like the Australian Liberal party, which is about as far from any liberal views as you could get?

Smári McCarthy

@gothnbass @antanicus haha, yeah. Okay, perhaps not everywhere. Lots of liberal parties really need to go to hell.

@garlorobelli @antanicus hahaha. No, loud and clear. We have a similar distinction in Icelandic (frjálslyndi (liberal) vs frjálshyggja (libertarian)). Oh wait! We also have it in English! Perhaps use that then!

@smari sjálfstæðisflokkurinn are uppercase L Liberals. vinstri grænar are lowercase 'l' liberals.

Smári McCarthy

@adachristine nah. Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn are big tent conservatives, with members ranging from libertarian to fascist. Vinstri Græn are traditionalist authoritarian socialists.

@antanicus I've literally spent my entire career making a lot of money using open source software.

@antanicus When you cannot compete, capture a regulator.

@antanicus Maybe "liberals" in the European definition of liberalism, but US liberalism is not against state intervention in the economy.
