why are libertarians in western countries generally anti-NATO and skeptical of “the west”? i’ve noticed this a lot, especially in the u.s., libertarians who reject the entire post-WWII western order: nato, imf, cia, military, the whole thing. they see it as global bureaucracy and corporate imperialism, not “freedom.” curious what others think i think it's very interesting
It’s because the liberal narrative is that all that shit exists to help, support, protect, etc the world outside the west, I.e charity which libertarians despise. Lolberts are completely placated by any right-wing politician giving them a wink behind the mask in saying
>oh also of course our protection is dependent on access to their resources/market/government and being under our protection is non-negotiable
