Why is there so much liberal hate?

Have you ever looked at "The Haven" or "Love & Dating" ?

Well then, yes our blood travels through our veins without the necessity of a pumping apparatus. It's the next stage in human evolution.

Actually, I haven't. Thanks for the warning, I'll be sure to steer clear of 'em.

Good call

The division of labor is why we have a civilization at all. A group of farmers leveraging the land is why others had time to invent math, astronomy, etc. Without that people would not have had the free time required for advanced subjects.

And it's just difficult for social animals to argue that lone wolfism is the ideal. That's for Tigers. That world would eat us.

We kind of are trapped on a small life boat. If you really think about it life is precarious. The planet itself has limited resources.

Lacking compassion is not one of the defining trait of aspergers syndrome. I think you're thinking of a different condition that starts with the same two letters but ends with a "hole" instead.

Anyone like to affront the point that capitalism stems from liberalism. The notion of free trade, free market, mixed economy, laizze-fair,etc. if so then if we look at the labour government here in England we can see for example the previous labour party under Gordon brown and tony Blair that excessive government spending and borrowing accumulated the largest national deficit in our national history. If so, then isn't the policy of capitalism stemming from liberalism flawed in such a case. Especially if governmental spending is not regulated? Does this mean an introduction of bureaucacy and then subsequently federalist foundations? We can conclude that liberalism isn't maybe hated so much if it's policies are adopted by new-socialist constitutions, evermore, we can see its positive effects for that of Germany's economy to which if we ignore the euro zone crisis has ultimately prospered under well regulated and maintained budget controls. Either way to come to a balanced conclusion on the stigma upon liberalism that is referred by the op it is relevant to analyse and infer upon all the pros and cons of that being liberalist ideas and concepts and to which its effect has proved beneficial.

This is perhaps too grandiose of a task primarialy. As with other ideologies, liberalism comes with its pros and cons. The stigma to which the op protests against is mere inference and environmental backgrounds. If we go 5 years back here in the uk liberalism was seen as a shining light and e proper alternative to labour and conservativism due to its neo-liberalist concepts that appealed to green voters, students and keynesian economists. However I think on the other hand to answer the op question is that the liberals here have failed to deliver and now the electorate hate them and most if not all the electorate have abandoned em frm showing support, this can be shown through the heavy defeat in the vote to introduce proportional representation. And to further corroborate my point, the house of lords reform to which the Tories heavily revolted against . We can see that not only has liberalism been shown to be weak socially, but politically too in failing to propel any of their main policies whilst in government and keeping to their promises.

How would I make a point, feel offended?

I'll just go by the last four words I guess.

Liberalism is capitalism, or depending on how you look at it, capitalism is part of liberalism. We now use "classical liberalism" to describe the historic meaning, and "neo-liberalism" to describe (ironically) fiscal conservativism. The language has been butchered by political operatives to suit their need to deceive and obfuscate history, but the history itself can't be erased entirely.

Neo-liberalism certainly isn't Keynesian.

Your right about political language. This is when George Orwell and the semantics of language comes in handy! We are buggered if we don't nationalise the English.

And careful where you tread, as Paul krugman's case puts forward a compelling notion.

Just checking.

So...how would society be organized (and funded) in a Libertarian world? Go ahead and ignore things like modern culture, current political issues, that kinda thing (note: no sarcasm intended) - I'd like to know how the "ideal" setup works under a Libertarian system.

You are mistaken in your paraphrasing. It would be more accurate to paraphrase Vigilans thus:
1)Because you live off of your parents, you are a hypocrite when you claim moral superiority over those on state assistance.
2)Because you have no life experience, your claim of understanding the finances of an individual who admitted to needing state assistance are revealed to be both arrogant and ignorant.

Last I checked, humans don't have salt glands to produce fresh water from salty. Are you human?

I guess he expects people to open their mouths to the sky and prey for rain as they tread water. All because the crew, instead of working together and combining their knowledge to save the life boat and paddle to safety, spent their time arguing over how each individuals contribution would be compensated for in exact currency. Meanwhile God and Satan laughed together at the idiotic folly of selfish humans.

Just to make it clear : REMOVING GOVERNMENT = A KIND OF FASCISM

It's simple. If you remove government, you end up with corporations running our lives without any control. And how a corportion works ? It is an asbolute hierarchy where you must obey and that's all.

And what will happen to areas that are not protected by corporations for some reason ? It will be the jungle. When police go on strike, it is a real disaster.

So that's a horrible perspective to remove the government. I would mean that we end up with some kind of middle age fortresses, with poor people making their own law in between.

And on the other side : REMOVING FREEDOM OF ENTERPRISE = A KIND OF TOTALITARISM

Because people are not free anymore and must ask for everything.

So both sides communism and liberalism are OUT OF BOUNDS.

According to liberals, government will always grow. Well, it is the same for corporation. It is the basic law of growth of power. It is natural. So the only thing we must do is to limit governements and limit corporations, just as we limit individuals by law.
