Narcissists do not deploy language to accurately describe our shared reality, they deploy language to construct their own desired reality and force others to conform to it.
Here’s a good example of how libertarianism implants scripts and dialogue trees into people’s minds so they cannot acknowledge the factual reality we live in.
Labour is a commodity and should be priced accordingly. You are not forced to work for anyone. If you as a consumer don't like how a company treats their employees, stop supporting that company and support one that supports their employees the way you like. That's called freedom.

US President: “I have unlimited power to do anything I want including canceling free speech, enacting taxes, arresting and deporting people and I’m immune to any criminal prosecution.”
Libertarians: “Did you know Ben Franklin enjoyed ham sandwiches? Click to learn more!”

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Real truth has predictive power. If it were true that libertarians cared about protecting lives and freedom, they would be outraged at the president deploying troops domestically to intimidate us. Since libertarians aren’t outraged, we can conclude they don’t care about protecting lives and freedom.

Growing up, my family had no empathy for me, so I grew to believe empathy was irrelevant. That made me into a libertarian. Later, I learned empathy was good. Now I’m not a libertarian.

MAGA mostly just wants revenge for a bunch of things they imagined non-MAGA did to them but that never really happened or that they did to themselves.

Something #libertarians have never actually cared about.
Its not lost on me that the conservative bugaboo for years was federal troops marching in their states and cities and its the first thing Trump reached for once in power
If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Trump calls for ICE and other cops to enforce his executive order banning flag burning, something that’s blatantly unconstitutional given Texas v Johnson (1989), which established flag burning as protected speech.

Trump to a room of generals: "I've never walked into a room so silent before. Just have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud."
"And if you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course there goes your rank, there goes your future."
Libertarians: I hate poor people

I’m glad I’m not a libertarian anymore because I am concerned when the federal government sends federal troops into US states to kill US citizens for their political beliefs but libertarians overwhelmingly think that’s no big deal.
So that’s a big difference between us.
