    I wasn’t making biased or hateful comments, but demonstrating evidence based logic. By saying that DOGE is a success or has produced any positives for humanity, or has cut any waste whatsoever rather than increase waste, demonstrates a stupidity and credulousness previously unobserved throughout all humanity.

        I know that libertarians hate anything that makes the world a better place, or any government spending that isn’t directly killing people.

        Not true. I get that you don’t like them. That’s totally fine. In face, feel free to start a “Anti-Libertarian News” community on this instance or any other, if you would like.

        That’s the beautify of the fediverse. If you don’t like the rules of a community, you can start your own.

        I like libertarian values and the party. I don’t care if you don’t. Me liking them doesn’t affect your life in any way, shape, or form. Move on if you don’t like it here.

      No, you have an opinion. Which is fine, but you calling something “dumb” isn’t the way to express that opinion in this community.

      There are plenty of places on Lemmy that thinks the Libertarian Party is dumb. You’ll find plenty of friends in those communities.

      DOGE killed USAID and made major cuts to NED, which is a huge win in my book. Other than that, I can’t say from lack of familiarity. But the concept of DOGE is good. Just unlikely that it would produce the right outcomes in the american political environment. It’s obvious to anyone who’s looked at the numbers that the “welfare” system in America (which is just a bandaid covering up underlying market inefficiencies) is deeply inefficient itself. If you’ve ever worked in a bureaucracy, you know that without oversight, bureaucracy expands only to serve its own interests, not the people. Bureaucratic positions may not need to be subjected to market discipline, but they do need to be accountable to some sort of discipline.
