The Humble Libertarian original

[Trigger warning: micro-aggression discussed below] Micro-aggressions happen every day. They are the common-place, brief, and subtle dismissals, slights, and insults that constitute the casual degradation of socially marginalized groups. Micro-aggressions are a 21st-century reenactment on a smaller scale of older, more severe forms of oppression and terrorism faced by minority groups. But while they are subtle... They are every bit as damaging in their effects on socially marginalized people. We will not wait for social justice to just happen while we are vulnerable. We will be prepared at all times to micro-defend ourselves against micro-aggressions, and this summary of micro-sparring principles serves as the first-of-its-kind guide to self-defense against micro-aggressions. You could think of it as a real version of the Defense Against The Dark Arts class in the Harry Potter series’ Hogwarts School of Magic, except the very name of that class could be perceived as ...

How to use manscara to improve your facial hair. This is my very first make up tutorial so please be nice in the comments.

Well so are you. Everything's weird. Except the things that aren't. Because we understand them. Because they're on our map of the world. And you would want things to be weird. Instead of all exactly like your map. Because then you would be living in a map. Instead of reality. It would be weird if nothing was weird. Very weird. Often we're delighted by something weird. Though of course not always. So long as it's harmless to others. So long as it's not threatening. So long as it doesn't stand in the way, Of you being weird your own way, Let it be weird. And don't make anyone suffer over it. You're weird too. You're so weird. Everything is so weird. Weird doesn't even look like a real word anymore. Weird.

The headlines write themselves: "A Long, Hard Sentence for Weiner..." "Anthony Weiner Gets a Stiff Sentence..." "PEEEEENNIIIISSSS!" You get the idea. Here's my penetrating analysis of the whole thing: It is incredibly weird that a guy who has become famous for having absolutely no ability whatsoever to stop himself from tweeting and texting pictures of his weiner is actually named Weiner. It's like, What are the odds of that?? You got to admit that's a pretty nice bod for a man his age. To me it's another wink from the gods (the Illuminati, the Reptilian overlords, the Jews... whoever it is at the bottom of all this... or the top... or where ever they are....) that somewhere in the last few decades since the advent of mass television culture in the 1950s, what we thought was our actual, televised reality actually became mostly scripted reality television. And this season the writers have been in their absolute best f...

Is Anyone Else Getting Sick and Tired of Hearing About Russia and Trump? It's time to acknowledge the insidious evil of a century of Western socialists deliberately ignoring or even brazenly defending the communist atrocities of the 20th century. And that's just one. The U.S. has either openly or covertly interfered in many other democratic elections overseas. As many as she could have gotten away with. A giant douche or a crap sandwich. Every four to eight years. Without fail. And the winner always breaks their promises. The delusional revelry of Democratic commentators declaring Hillary's victory the day after the first debate made my head spin. Were they watching it with their eyes? These people go into their jobs every day, not because it's something they are deeply passionate about, but to keep the lights on and keep you happy, healthy, clean, comfortable, and safe.

Insurance Salesman: "Your employee benefits have just kicked in at your new workplace. Congratulations! Now you can buy ObamaCare-compliant, group-rate negotiated health insurance through your employer." Millennial Worker: "Uh, thanks! Okay, so what's it going to cost me to insure myself, my wife, and one child?" Insurance Salesman: "For a family of three, $600 a month ." Worker: "Phew. Seems a little steep. That's $7,200 a year. That would be my second biggest expense after my house payment. That cuts us down from making $40,500 a year to $33,300 after paying for insurance. I mean that's ridiculous. We've both got student loans too. How do we even save?" Insurance Salesman: "Not so fast- there's a $7,400 annual deductible too." Worker [raises his eyebrows]: "What's that mean?" Insurance Salesman [narrows his eyes]: "Well you have to pay for $7,400 of your own medical co...

Government Official: "We need to ensure only legal workers are hired." Immigrant: "You're saying I'm 'an illegal worker?' What have I done wrong?" Government Official: "Well you're standing there." Immigrant: "Where should I be standing?" Government Official: "Somewhere in your country." Immigrant: "My country?" Government Official: "The country you were born in." Immigrant: "Why can't I stand here? I'm not causing any problems. He owns this place..." [Immigrant points to his employer.] "And he says I can be here." Government Official: "Well you didn't even tell us you were here, or get our permission to be working. This is our country you know." [Immigrant looks over at his employer with brows knit together shaking his head like "wtf?" and his employer shrugs his shoulders and puts his hands up like "dude ...

There's no such thing as a stupid question. Let's just agree that we can't be sure it's a message from God. And then ask ourselves: "But what if it was?" for the sake of argument. Well if it was definitely a message from God... What do you think the message would be? Okay well what if the first thing that flashed into your mind after you read that (if anything) actually was the message from God? Might give you some critical insight to ponder that. One thing that flashes into my mind is that we seriously don't have enough control over the Moon. It's just flying around in circles up there willy nilly. It's one of the few aspects of nature that mankind hasn't yet subdued, as we were ordered to do by God Himself. And it's going and casting shadows on us while we're trying to go about our business! Ya know? Up there mocking us. Did you know the Moon is drawing a big X over the United States? No joke. You c...

"Spiders don't need to be capitalists. And they don't need people making videos favoring them being capitalists." Ron Paul would love this video... because it's pure gold.

Are you stuck in the never-ending toilet swirl of the mainstream media news cycle? Even most "serious" news like all the 24-hour cable news networks and the inky gray rags made of dead trees that still get delivered to people's houses from a truck two decades deep into the 21st century are all just basically gossip columns that cover politicians and journalists instead of actors and singers. Which actually kind of makes sense now that I think about it... that's all politicians and journalists are: Politicians are actors (not people who take action, people who read their scripted lines on television to entertain you while the state goes about its business off camera). Journalists are singers (not people who tell you the truth, people who sing you a song about the truth and justice and all that to entertain you while the state goes about its business off camera). So if you want to stop chasing your tail with everybody else until you end up like this guy , wit...

Over the weekend : "A US government memo setting out strategies for preventing leaks of classified information, has been leaked to the media." via GIPHY Anyone in the libertarian movement still think these boneheads did 9-11? #GovtFail is a "situation normal" kind of thing, but it's usually pretty horrific, so it's nice when it's just too funny for words.

Hahaha, nice one /u/MBoudet .

Saw this meme today and I can't be sure about this, but I've got a feeling that if we were all truly free to spend all of our money exactly how we want, things like that ugly hunk of cement and metal above would never get built. Why not something more like:

So I made these PhilosoRandPaul memes to present actual Rand Paul quotes as a parody of Philosoraptor, who has made some good political points himself: Check out all the Rand Paul Memes at IVN.us .

This guy wins the Internet. Fist bump: /r/libertarianmeme
