Libertarianism is a rebrand of feudalism.

Freedom requires us to support and defend the Constitution and all its rights.

So Iran has a better functioning legislature than the US bc it will actually pass war powers instead of capitulating to its king.

theguardian.com
Iran's parliament has reportedly approved the closing of the key strait of Hormuz shipping lane.

Reuters reported Iran's supreme national security council will make the final decision on the move, which could hamstring global trade by shutting the narrow passage between Iran and Oman.

The decision to close the strait, through which about 20% of global oil and gas demand flows, is not yet final.

However according to Reuters, lawmaker and Revolutionary Guards Commander Esmail Kosari told the Young Journalist Club on Sunday that doing so is on the agenda and "will be done whenever necessary."

The UK Maritime Trade Operations
(UKMTO) said it was assessing the threat to
US commercial shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, near Iran, as "high".

the key to understanding libertarianism is that they yearn to have their throat under a feudal boot but object to an imperial boot

What I don't understand about libertarians is that the current moment should be their
Superbowl and they're not even in the stadium. What's up?

The irony of this scumbag throwing himself a birthday military parade. Let go over his administration and compare them to the empire. 🧵

A tweet from the Whitehouse official, "Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to to bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members, back into our Galaxy. You're not the Rebellion— you're the Empire.
May the 4th be with you."

WE are (were) the hegemony. It was a good deal for us! We were the ones doing the ripping off. We were literally buying their goods and labor in exchange for pieces of paper (US Bonds). We were turning those goods into record GDP. All we had to do was raise taxes on record-setting incomes.
