    Yes, Ayn Rand IS a Libertarian, She didn't call herself a libertarian and explicitly said she isn't, libertarians don't call her a libertarian and explicitly say she isn't, only people not knowing what the hell they are talking about call her a libertarian. There's absolutely no reason to call her a libertarian. No matter how you'd want that to accuse libertarianism of whatever bad. It's actually funny, there is a bunch of ideologies, all different, and like all of them not mainstream and not left are bunched by idiots under libertarianism just like this. Rand isn't libertarian (not even in history of her beliefs), Curtis Yarvin isn't libertarian (despite history of his beliefs), Silicon Valley bros aren't libertarian (despite them using the word sometimes to the confusion of everyone), and neither are Zelensky and Milei (I mean, there is some awareness of libertarianism in his approahes). I find it interesting, so many proponents of Libertarianism don’t realize that the limits we put on these things they want to exist to stop people from creating neo-feudal fiefdoms. Bullshit. You might also want to think who's "we" and what externalia does giving that "we" an ability to "put limits on these things" possess. If a government is too weak to stop large scale organized violence you get warlords, of some form, in the modern case it’s whoever has the most wealth to found the largest private army. A government is large scale organized violence and warlords. But hey, your not too far off the mark with the whole Nazi bit, after all the word Privatize was invented to describe what the Nazis did with state property. That claim would require sources, I doubt you have any.

    No I don't think there really were many so your point is valid But the law works like that, things are in a grey area or in limbo until they are defined into law. That means the new law can be written to either protect consumer privacy, or make it legal to the letter to rape consumer privacy like this bill, or some weird inbetween where some shady stuff is still explicitly allowed but in general consumers are protected in specific ways from specific privacy abuses This bill being the second option is bad because typically when laws are written it then takes a loooong time to reverse them

    Yes. I can't use lynx for most of the sites I am used to go with it. They are all protecting themselves with captcha and other form of javascript computation. The net is dying. Fucking thank you AI-bullshitery...

    It's always been "states rights" to enrich rulers at the expense of everyone else.

    AFAIK, you have the option to enable ads on your lock screen. It's not something that's forced upon you. Last time I took a look at the functionality, they "paid" you for the ads and you got to choose which charity to support with the money.

    Not just that. The tax preparation industry has gotten tax more complex and harder to file in the US You get the government you can afford. The tax preparation industry has been able to buy several governments
