    Taking drugs under the guise of research is so Glibertarian

    Having read the article, I'm having a hard time finding the fail. Well, besides the fact that Doug the Lovebunny is unqualified for providing therapeutic uses of psychotropic drugs. But LSD should never have been banned in the first place (restricted maybe, but not banned). If that gets changed, it's the opposite of failure.

    Libertarians share so many beliefs with Trumpsters:

    Hey Argies - load up on mate now

    Argentina’s mate industry – a highly regulated business where the central government sets prices and subsidizes production – is one of several sectors bracing for a storm since the election of far-right president Javier Milei.

    Milei’s proposal on the campaign trail was simple: Argentina is in a chronic economic crisis because of mismanagement and corruption, he said; take away state interference and let the market regulate itself. Since taking office in December, he has announced plans to privatize Argentina’s national airline, public broadcaster, and state-run oil company (though he has since backed away from this last proposal).


    ...While Milei is tackling multiple fronts to try to change Argentina for good as soon as possible, for Lemos, the measures have brought an abrupt end to the intercosecha – the government’s financial support for seasonal workers when there’s no agricultural harvest. That reform comes at the same time as rising living costs have eaten away at Lemos’ modest savings, with Argentina facing the highest inflation rate in the world

    It’s almost as if Libertarians were ideologically close to insurrectionists:

    "I wish I had committed another crime because then I might have had proof of something I don't actually have any proof for but my beliefs assure me must exist" is your brain on ideology.

    ANY ideology, I might add.

    Not picking on you, but I have to ask--why are we talking about Milei & Argentina here, rather than in International News?

    I'm no fan of the guy or of libertarianism, but...has he "failed" yet? He's managed to get elected, for one thing, and @argentine soccer fan has argued somewhat convincingly that he's not a complete bomb-throwing lunatic, appearances aside.

    Just my two cents.

    I don’t think that’s the reason, but fair point.

    The Libertarians are having Trump speak at their convention. That’s the penultimate fail, right, with the ultimate fail being disbanding as a party?

    If you don't have the freedom to oppress, you don't really have freedom, do you?
