This is a really interesting article about what's been going on with the libertarian party recently.

Karma ought to check it out for sure as he's slightly confused what being a libertarian means. It seems that his view of the libertarian party is stuck in the 1970's with the rest of his brain.

Misses type libertarians have been around since at least as long as Ron Paul's runs for President as a Republican. Ron Paul decided to try to change the Republican party and left the libertarian party to do so but those similar ideas are libertarian and I would argue as many in this article do, that wokeism in the libertarian party is less libertarian than anything these Misses people are doing.

And that this more modern breed of Libertarian is a racist.... that's complete bullshit but this guy put's it better than I do:

"I passionately reject the notion that Mises Caucus is completely, or filled with, racists or bigots," Dempsey says. "We just have, probably to our discredit, been so force-fed a narrative about having to virtue signal we probably don't say things enough like 'we reject bigotry' or 'racism is repugnant,' but those are empty words." What's important is making America a nation "dominated by support for freedom, property rights, free association, and due process."
