There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!

Generally I like talking to people with different views.
Sometimes I HATE doing it online. Context, nuance and a lot of things don't translate.
Also, there's a lot of people that are either uninterested in learning about the topic but fervent in espousing about its merits. I used to like chatting with libertarians and I just grow tired of it with the same old discussions. So I'll just refuse to engage.
Eventually you have to think of your mental health and if you're dealing with a troll or something. It's just simply not worth your time.
Trolls are everywhere, all a person can do is ignore them and leave. When someone is clearly trolling in the sense of being insulting, any reaction only freeds
What I am referancing is when someone states a personal view that does invoke a reaction, there's no intellectual curiousity to see where that comes from, it's easier to ban them or try to get them suspended, which only proves how weak they are as a person because because it shows that they need to be protected from any belief they can't defend against.
What is your issue with libertarians, and what type of libertarian are you talking about? There are libertarians that I am strongly for, and libertarians that I despise everything they believe, but each ofthose are different types. It would be a misnomer or a mistake to simply lump all of them as being libertarian.
For example I believe left libertarians can cause damage because they want zero social restrictions, and right libertarians understand better about self control or self restraint and humility.
