Helicopter Fun

[rightisright]

I know we have some pilots in here. Check out this helicopter flying. Warning! Cheesy 70's porn soundtrack.

Damn. He flies that thing like a boss. Those push-overs going across the tree lines were impressive. I also don't think I would ever volunteer to be on that helicopter, because if anything goes wrong, you're hosed.

Video's pretty sweet, works fine muted.

The transformation of Pinochet from a brutal dictator to Your Fun Anti-Commie Uncle is one of the reasons I don't tell people I'm libertarian anymore.

I thought that was more an Alt-Right thing than anything. The sides are getting blurry and I can't tell the National​ Socialist Workers Party from the Workers Party for National Socialism.

As they say, when a government boot is on your throat, it doesn't really matter if it's a left boot or a right boot.

The problem is that "libertarian" technically falls under alt-right. For a brief period, that was okay. But in the end, "alt-right" is a label Nazis, fascists, Traditional Nationalists, Monarchist/Tories and so on have readily adopted as well.

I shit you not, I have seen people calling themselves "libertarian monarchists," "anarcho-nationalists," "libertarian feudalists," or generally attaching "libertarian" to absolutely authoritarian belief systems. "Classical liberal" used to ultimately mean "live and let live," now it means that the Union was wrong in the Civil War because they sought to disrupt the South's property rights.

Respond to those nuts with "people aren't property," the response is "well they were back then" which apparently makes it okay. Nuances of the Civil War aside, WTF.

To paraphrase Orwell, "the word Libertarian has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies 'something I find desirable.'" At least, with people who consider themselves on the right.

For most people Libertarianism begins and ends with smoking dope. They'd be perfectly happy to live under Stalin (complete with gulags) if they could smoke pot (preferably pot paid for by someone else).

When you tell them being a Libertarian means personal responsibility their brains cramp.
