Advocating violence against people for having retarded hair color and piercings seems pretty... neoreactionary.
These people should be laughed at, shamed, ostracized, and generally left to their own devices. Their shitty lives are already a far worse fate than a broken nose.

Statistically speaking (and wrong as it may be) aren't WE the "deviants" in this current society?
So that's the sort of world you guys want to live in? Where the status quo enforces social mores through violence? If so we're first on the list, at present.

I've never heard of the Amish, a group drastically more traditional than most of us here, dishing out asswhoopings or tarring and feathering people to keep their community standards intact.

I think the notable difference is that SEA has plenty of freaks on display but they are not taken seriously. Whereas in the U.S. they are taken very seriously in the media and the law frequently bends over backwards to accommodate their insanity. On occasion the inmates are outright handed the keys to run the asylum.

This freak was basically just using the argument we saw a couple of years ago a lot. It can be summarized as this:"

"WHY DOES THIS ACTUALLY EXIST?! WOW. JUST WOW!"

We've heard it before. It's tiresome, old, and lacking in substance. When the shaming tactics stop working, no one buys it. And increasingly, no one is buying it, at least the people that matter and will shape the future. These people are shameless, and yet we, the normal folk that stand for beauty, a just moral compass, and a society that incentivizes glory instead of degeneracy are somehow the ones that are supposed to be shamed. It won't work anymore, because what we're doing is right.

Wastelander, you go a long way toward expressing some of the criticisms I've come to recognize on libertarianism. I'm actually starting a series of posts on my blog about this topic. A large measure of why we are where we are, both culturally and economically, has been as a result of essentially the central core of libertarianism - "everything goes and nothing matters."

Lol no it isn't. Libertarianism is 'liberty - ism' not 'libertine - ism' or 'nihilism'. It's central core is 'actions should be voluntary', not 'all actions are equally good' or 'nothing matters'.

Phoenix, weather you like it or not, that is ultimately what libertarianism descends into.

By failing to check degeneracy under the mantra of "voluntary action" and "it isn't harming me," it has enabled much of what we're seeing today.

A constrained libertarianism can work, but only as was mentioned earlier - within societies guided by a strenuous and muscular moral compass inherent to the masculine virtues. But libertarianism itself may lead to the eroding of that compass via its inherent tolerance leading to a social irresponsibility.

This is not a conclusion that I reached easily, and you are free to disagree with me, but it was one I was ultimately forced to accept.

I've already explained the actual most likely cause of what we're seeing today is, you're free to rebut it /thread-47631-...id1026171. The opposite of liberty is thuggery, and I'd much rather live in a feminist West than live in Democratic Kampuchea. There is no magical and disembodied 'muscular moral compass', and "But libertarianism itself may lead to the eroding of that compass via its inherent tolerance leading to a social irresponsibility" doesn't mean anything. There are men with good morals and men with bad morals. The constitution affects which group maintains power.
