A Hardcore Libertarian Take on the Storming of the Capitol Building

Hardcore libertarians differentiate between pro-Trump patriots and Black Lives Matter detritus.

BLM rioters trashed, looted and leveled their countrymen’s private property, their businesses.

Democratic stormtroopers harassed their fellow Americans—meek men and women in eateries, in shopping malls, in the inner sanctum of their homes—often forcing innocents to kneel or recite repulsive, self-incriminating racial catechisms.

These Mao-like cultural revolutionaries descended like locusts on places where their fellow Americans shop and socialize, sadistically threatening, and often visiting, physical harm upon their countrymen, unless they knelt before them like slaves.

In contrast, the ragtag men and women of the MAGA movement stormed only the seat of power and corruption that is the State.

Yet, in reply to the fact that “entire cities were burned to the ground” by the Left’s militarized BLM troops, some of the staunchest of conservatives, staffers at Breitbart, are purported to have concluded, in error, that “storming the Capitol building” is much worse than “than burning down strip malls.”

Wrong!

The Jan 6th event was a “mostly peaceful” protest. Only a small handful of hooligans stormed the Capitol. The vast majority were peaceful. AFAIK they did not throw firebombs etc; though I know several people were killed in the chaos some of this was LEO shooting people. But there were 1000+ left-leaning protests all spring and summer, with lots of violence, and many deaths, and looting, and arson, and you can call some of it, such as the attack on the Federal Courthouses, “insurrection”. Not surprising how the narratives flip on their heads depending on the media’s bias.

My personal opinion, long held personal opinion, I want our politicians and bureaucrats to always be just a little bit afraid of the citizenry at all times. They will make better, fair and simpler decisions and regulations if they were.

Incredibly accurate from this Libertarian’s POV.

Yep. Private property trumps public property.

I’m not Libertarian and yet I agree with him. And I don’t think they are nearly scared enough.
