"You love to see it."
"It" -- An ostensibly well-intentioned sentiment, muddied by *racial essentialism* and a *directive that I MUST perform some ambiguously defined action(s), because -- you say so?
No, I don't 'love to see it'. Especially from the @LPNational, @JoshGuckert.

This seems philosophically sloppy, opportunistic. It seems like a crass attempt to glom onto a meme w/ pernicious, established imputations -- in hopes it *maybe* produces a political advantage.
Could this gambit work? And Is it a betrayal of principle?

What's the probability that yet-another-undifferentiated-corporate-display -of-solidarity manages to punch thru?
And IF someone does see it, considering this commandment has no context of it’s own, do they buy Ibram Kendi's deluded text for instruction?

When racial justice memes come in for sharp criticism, some employ cheap dodges that won’t work on me.
So I’ll make it plain: This dogma conflicts w/ libertarian ideals. We need not endorse it to CARRY ON supporting an end to the drug war + qualified immunity — that’s WHO WE ARE

The @LPNational @Jorgensen4POTUS et al, ought reconsider this *calibration*.
I don’t know if this is well intentioned or tacky political larping.
I do know that needlessly polluting a movements long track record of criminal justice reform advocacy w/ racialist sludge is wrong.

It **feels** like I just got mugged.
All told, @Jorgensen4POTUS is still the ONLY RESPONSIBLE CHOICE for President this November.
That makes this gimmickry all the more frustrating. An unnecessary defect. A pointless — and I hope not deliberate — distraction.
I’d still vote for her, but not w/o some real angst.

I’ve just highlighted what this ACTUALLY MEANS. You need to dispute that framing. One can’t just wave away the political and intellectual context that exists.

More on all this here.
And when you've tried, people have smeared you for having 'suspicious motives' -- it’s trash. This *innovation* is a step backward.
Libertarianism is about individuals.
Libertarian ideas helped inform my decision to reject identitarianism.

This is an unfair and reductionist swipe. It’s a mistake to indulge in this kind of disparagement @nsarwark.
Why disregard the principled and respectful objections of people who’ve helped promote + advance our shared values?
Good faith disagreement is always in fashion, Nic

I’m a libertarian. Without apology. No qualifications. No embarrassment.
