It might also depend on what kind of school it is.

Classrooms don't have to have windows.

I'm not sure I'd call them "trolls."

I think Lemmy and the fediverse in general is vulnerable to bot manipulation because no one is going to give out personal information to random instances.

There are users on [email protected] who say that they get accused of being bots.

Sexual selection usually takes care of problems like this. People with antisocial tendencies find it extremely difficult to find partners.

In my experience, libertarians tend to be extremely moderate conservatives who don't want to submit to God.

If there's no competition, then providers can just make up any price that they want and the government has to pay it.

When there's an entirely planned economy, there's no possibility for alternatives to be created.

I want there to be a viable public option that exists. The alternative would be to require that everyone get coverage.

This is probably where I align economically, but I support statist mandates that are inconsistent with "individual libertarianism" or "civil libertarianism."

For example, we should decriminalize drug use, but there should absolutely be a strong statist intervention where people are forced to stop using drugs.

Libertarians are the right wing version of 20 year old socialists who want free stuff and have no understand of what really drives and motivates people.

I tend to lean left but I'm incredibly disappointed with the state of the political landscape.

Libertarians are political extremists who hate anything related to the government but don't care about being oppressed by private businesses, or they think that it simply won't happen in their utopia. Libertarians are everything they hate about the woke left, only applied to the government.

The problem is defining what acceptable positive rights involves. There are people who think that having to "work to survive" is somehow a major human rights abuse. I don't think that anyone should be entitled to not have to work unless they are severely disabled and can't work. At the same time, expecting people to work multiple jobs is corporate oppression.
