  • I feel like it’s an underappreciated point that Christians have never followed Jesus; they follow Paul. “Christian” has always been a marketing term for an imperialist, non-Jewish (and in fact, anti-Jewish) religion that took over the momentum of a small Jewish sect that died out once it became clear Jesus wasn’t coming back.

    That was my experience also. I had a very smart coworker, a scientist, who was libertarian, very anti-police and everything. Then Trump came along and he went full fascist. It was very disturbing, and I haven’t trusted libertarians since.

    Note: I’m using libertarian as shorthand for libertarian capitalist, which is mostly how it’s used in the US, though, as noted in another comment, there are other kinds of libertarians, like libertarian socialists.
