/r/libertarian finds fascist bait and gladly swallows it

The thread in question

An article that in its very headline states that the whole thing is a "prank" by 4chan. You'd think that would be enough for most people to at the very least take the whole thing with a grain of salt. But what is our freedom loving and anti-tread-on-me friends over at /r/libertarian take on it?

It is most definitely ok to be white. [ 70]

YOU'RE A FUCKING WHITE MALE [ 27]

Did you just assume their gender? [ 17]

What a relief - I was worried people would think this joke is unfunny and unoriginal at this point, and we would miss the opportunity to laugh at this pinnacle of comedy yet again. But here it is right at the top.

It is most definitely ok to be white.

"Its ok to be white" is definitely not about just saying its ok to be white [-26]

What is it saying? It seemed pretty clear to me. [ 34]

Just another edition of:

WhiteLivesMatter / #BlueLivesMatter / 14 Words

You've got a collection of authoritarian leaders threatening people's lives and livelihoods for failing the brown paper bag test, while their base insists they're the ones who are victims. [ 2]

Both have a point. [ 1]

If your "race" controls every branch of government, dominates every law enforcement agency, chairs every corporate entity, and commands the world's most powerful military, but you still believe your white skin is keeping you from getting ahead... [ 2]

Government officials have massive privileges, government officials are white, therefore all whites are privileged? Doesn't follow. [ 2]

Racists rhetorically saying "It's ok to be white" means absolutely nothing special! Subtext is a liberal commie lie! Context is meaningless! Go back to sleep, you're obviously just another irrational SJW that puts lĂŠ feels before reals by actually understanding the intent behind the message!

It's also worthwhile noticing how this person is contradicting him/herself without realizing it. First they acknowledge that "they both have a point", but then goes on to deny the consequences of power and social hierarchies when its pointed out that society is largely ruled by white people.

Its implying there's some kind of campaign or effort to make it not OK to be white. Or you could just say the intent is just to troll, which is exactly what was said on 4chan. [-20]

There's a push out there by Antifa to label white people as the problem. Inherently because they're white. So there is an effort to make it not ok to be white. [ 37]

Source? [-5]

Wtf? To ask for a source for an opinion is weak as hell. [ 13]

The whole "antifa are racist against white people" shtick sounds awfully familiar. Almost as if its something that's commonly claimed by very same fascist groups the article in question deals with. But I guess I'm reaching now, someone who is a libertarian is obviously way to enlightened in their opposition to political authority to fall for such obvious reactionary nonsense.

There is. It's called cultural marxism. You take the oppressor-oppressed dynamic from marxism, and you apply it to culture, and you get cultural marxism. Cultural Marxists believe white people have to be destroyed so that every other race can stopped being oppressed. Obviously it's retarded and hateful, but so is normal marxism. If you want some examples, take a look at /r/menkampf [ 13]

That sub is gold, thanks for showing it. [ 3]

Wow! If I didn't know any better I would think these libertarians were embracing a fascist conspiracy theory and praising a reactionary sub. But, again, libertarians are way too opposed to authority for this to be possible, so I guess my eyes are just playing tricks on me.

If that's the case, then Black Lives Matter has been saying other lives don't this whole time. [ 9]

wut? What kind of logic that? Because "its ok to be white has a message behind what its name implies, THEREFORE ITS ONLY LOGICAL TO CONCLUDE that Black Lives Matters also carries the message that other lives don't matter? Dude I'm embarrassed for you [ 5]

Good. Because you're obviously good at pushing your thoughts and agendas onto other people, and figuring out how people feel who aren't you. [ 13]

Goddamn people who have thoughts and agendas! How fucking dare they?!

4chan is an excellent example of spontaneous order.

Racist teenagers shitposting on the internet is peak civilization. TIL.

I'm against stirring shit up. But taking care not to place signs on private property, bless their hearts.

"They might be fascists but at least they didn't violate property rights"

There's a few more nuggets in the thread, but I think I'll stop there.
