Why don't you like libertarianism?

A lot of reasons, but I don't think this is really the best place to get into it all since the issue is censorship, not my individual views. I will just say for now that modern "right-libertarianism" which is largely inspired by the work of Ayn Rand is all about the virtue of selfishness and I don't think selfishness has any virtue at all. Ron Paul who is thought of a highly influential figure in modern right-libertarianism (there's also a left-wing form of libertarianism but that has fallen way out of favor) is the most right-wing member of congress. People rely on social programs. When they are cut or destroyed, people's lives are destroyed. The richest countries in the world have very strong social safety nets. Ours is barely hanging on by a thread and libertarians want to reduce it even more. They just took a huge chunk out of the food stamp program at the same time that banksters are stealing trillions and they want the poorest segment of society to pay for it? It's inhuman. But like I said, that's not really the issue I'm concerned with at the moment. Censorship is.[DOUBLEPOST=1392744982,1392744700][/DOUBLEPOST]

The reason people kill themselves is not because of what happens online. You hardly know anything about suicide and depression from the way you speak about it. The comments of people aren't what they kill themselves over, its their own mind. The mind keeps hold of the comments and makes you think that everyone you've ever met or talked to believed those things about you. Also the way you're speaking I'm just going to mention this, lot's of people from ask.fm have killed themselves. Most of them from what we have been told were not suffereing from depression, they knew they could get away from it by turning the computer off.

Yes and you can remove yourself from people who hurt you in "real life" by getting away from them too (if you are an adult). But that's not how the world works. Words DO hurt. Online relationships ARE real to the people who are involved in them. They are very real. People meet lifelong partners online. People get hurt all the time. I just really don't understand where you are coming from. If you don't take online relationships seriously, I think you are decidedly in the minority.

Don't take them seriously? My best friend I met through gaming online. I've had to talk him out of suicide more times than I can count anymore. Most of my friends are online, I'm not replying anymore because you are making me very very angry since you clearly don't understand any of this.

'It's not what's said online, it's what's their head', is what you seem to be saying. Well how do things GET in their head? Online communication is one way. Perhaps you are not explaining yourself very well because it's true that I have no clue what you are talking about. I would appreciate your trying to explain it a little more clearly and concisely without all the drama. Or maybe you are not very clear on what you are saying yourself and you are taking that out on me. You just admitted that you live your whole life online and then you say that what happens online is no big deal? That doesn't make any sense.

I used to claim I had "depression" whatever you want to classify that as. Depression isn't some neural monkey living inside of your head. After I stopped being such a drama queen and identifying with a label, it got a lot better. It took years for that to happen, but that's what has helped for me, I don't care if you take it or leave it.

Well as far as censoring goes.. YouTube is a privately owned company that allows you to upload your content for free and join for free. If they choose to censor what you say or what you upload they have that right as a privately owned company. If you feel you were wrong you can contact them explain your view point but that said they will do what they want.

I happen to agree with you there. All these emotional/psychological issues have been medicalized so they can just give you a pill. I despise psychiatry. Anyone who is really awake in the world today would have good reason to feel sad, anxious, hopeless, etc.

Yeah, I spent years in the psychiatry system being given pills and told how "ill" I was, which kept perpetuating an identity, which perpetuated the symptoms. Pills just mask symptoms, they don't cure anything. It's odd, but I used to almost take pride in being "sick" because I could garner sympathy and I think it's a common thing. The whole bit is retarded though - the only way to get over anxiety/depression is to stop running away. "Only way out is through" as they say.

They just won't let me make any more comments. What was my crime? I don't happen to like libertarianism. That's my crime. Nazis are A-OK on Youtube. I watched lots of Russia Today videos (that's probably another crime). The comment section is overflowing with Jews this and Jews that. I don't argue with them. I just post my point of view. These pencil necked geeks are so threatened by someone who doesn't like their precious libertarianism. They can't allow ONE dissenting voice. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. I can't imagine anything more sleazy than showing the comment only to the person who made it while it's invisible to everyone else and they don't even know it (all I have to do is log out and all my comments disappear. Lots of people are having this problem). It used to be somewhat random and I could get around it but now it's every single comment. Leading people to believe their comments are visible when they're not is such an evil thing to do. So many people are posting heartfelt comments, not getting any response whatsoever and they don't even have a clue that their comments are invisible to everyone but them. I can't describe how much this sickens me. it's an expression of utter psychopathic contempt for humanity.

I totally agree. I had to open a new youtube account so I could leave comments once again. None of my comments were spam, none abusive in any way, however guess what! I too watch quite a few RT videos and I too do not agree with the libertarian agenda. Rather than being libertarian it is oppressive. Those who disagree with the liberal agenda are being wiped out. This is a form of control that is sickening to say the least. And your comparison with the Nazi's? I totally agree. They too controlled what information would reach the public to suit there evil agenda. Hopefully this comment will escape the slimy forces with no face. It is shocking how our rights are being stripped away from us.

Hi Kathy. Well that is quite a "coincidence" (RT and anti-libertarianism). Thank you for the info. When I opened up a new account, the first comment went through and then all the rest were ghosted just like my old account. I wasn't really sure it was about anti-libertarianism since I also post a lot of anti-US foreign policy stuff. Perhaps you are of the same mindset since you watch RT videos. Maybe it's the combination that annoys them. Who knows? It's really scary how they can just remove someone's online right of free speech that easily, just by pressing a button without a word or a hint as to whether/when they might be restored. So many people post nothing but irresponsible comments and they aren't getting censored. Libertarianism seems to be really big with the new techno-elite class (Google, etc.). Just about every one of the big political names on YT are libertarians (Alex Jones, Molyneux, Schiff, Celente, etc.). As if people needed any more encouragement to be selfish. It's perhaps the most common and basest of all human attributes. They just took a huge chunk out of the food stamp program and everyone is being led to believe that's a good thing. Most people really have no idea how far right-wing the libertarians are in terms of opposition the social safety net and apparently someone doesn't want us to tell them about it either. I've been trying to avoid using YT and Google but it's tough. The alternatives are not so hot. I had no problem with them before the decided to summarily relinquish my freedom of speech.
