GP means left-libertarians, for example anarcho-syndicalists like Noam Chomsky. Versus American libertarian [VIDEO]

Reminds me both of this video [VIDEO] and the all too common headscratcher: is it a comment from a real libertarian idiot or a case of poe's law?

> My point was that if pressed, the lawmakers responsible for overriding these "bag bans" would say something similar to you, essentially that bag bans are bad (though I suspect their reasoning would look very different). They would say something similar to me. Except the reasoning would be very different. So the only similarity is that they would say that it is “bad” (I would say that the ban is pointless per se). So they wouldn’t say something similar to what I said. Next up: “Wars are bad”. Did avgcorrection say that? Or a Libertarian? [VIDEO]

That combined with an ineffective leadership. Just look at what these groups spend their time squabbling over. This DSA meeting is reflective of how little chance they have of getting anything accomplished: [LINK] They become a parody of themselves, much like this Libertarian debate: [VIDEO]

I can't even begin to take you seriously when you're arguing on behalf of the group who heckles their own political candidates because they believe in driver's licensing requirements. [VIDEO]
