When Libertarians or the like say “I mind my own business”/ “live and let live” what do they really mean? Is there really a Libertarian Party anymore?

[BrokeLoser]

Based on my experiences here it seems like self proclaimed Libertarians are just re-packaged socially left as hell progressives who are probably voting Democrat in secret…kind of…sometimes.
Anytime I hear “I mind my own business” or “live and let live” it’s generally a Libertarian of sorts saying it, it’s usually directed at a Conservative and seemingly used to thwart conservative efforts to preserve and protect American values, family values, Christian values, western culture and or the moral order that built and pillared this once great nation.
Lets be honest…these days, doesn’t “live and let live” and “I mind my own business” really just mean ‘I’m happy with the Leftist movement in America right now so leave it alone you meddling Conservative’?

Yeah it does. That's why I dropped that whole entire attitude rather quickly.

Besides, it all went out the window for me when the left started targeting women and children.

Republicans know that they can run their own lives better than the government can and that's the difference.

Libertarian and liberal are few and far between. It's usually left loons abusing the title because they're ashamed of being left loons

The basic libertarian idea is that you can do whatever you want as long as you don't physically or financially hurt someone else. However, this doesn't mean that you can't defend yourself, even if it means harming the person attacking you. This is why libertarians are fine with pornography, rampant drug use, open borders, homosexuality, social media censoring people, etc. It also means that they want the government to stop mucking about in the economy. So that means no taxation, no business licensing, no zoning regulations, no building codes, no minimum wage laws, no laws against prostitution, etc. When taken to its logical conclusion it also means a stateless society.

I've noticed that over the last couple decades there's been a tendency of conflating libertarianism and conservatism, but these are two different philosophies.

That's all I need. You guys are busybody statists, bent on using the government to force others to bend to your will. You're the opposite of libertarian.

Pornography does harm others if those others are minors and transgenders for the most part cannot be trusted.

There are very few conservatives left in America today. Very few.

The modern ''conservative'' will send a government gun to fulfill their will just as quickly as their so-called ''liberal'' counterparts.

Unfortunately, that's true, too.

That's not true. True conservatives view the current US government with contempt

As close as you come to true conservatism in America today are the so-called classical liberals.

I know plenty. Travel the Midwest.
