Why are there so many Germans on Lemmy?

we always were very private people
I lived in germany for a while and I loved this aspect from germans. It really bothers me when people are like "what do you need privacy for, what are you hiding" like the government always has the best intentions

I HATE REDDIT CENSORSHIP, seriously, it's a weird politically biased censorship, you need to constantly adjust what you have to say/not say at all depending on the sub-reddit, leads to idiotic echo-chambers and self-righteous people who are just in a bubble, idk

nooo way!!! I hate that! I wish there were LAWS protecting people from being banned from websites, this is ridiculous the amount of power these corporations have to limit free speech. We're not in 1820 anymore, free speech isn't just talking with our physical voices — our digital voices are almost as important

Did you get banned from a subreddit or from the entire Reddit?

there’s nothing normal about Libertarians
why do you think so?

Definitions
Classical liberals (also known as right-libertarians or libertarian capitalists) want an unregulated free-market economy with minimal government intervention. Social liberals want the government to intervene in the economy to promote social justice and reduce economic inequality. Neoliberals want the government to intervene in the economy to promote capitalism and economic development.
Funny, I never considered that classical liberal would be the same as right-libertarians.
Do you have another term for left-libertarians?
Where would Milton Friedman fall in this political compass? I'd say he is a "left-libertarian", do you agree?

The fact that hardcore Libertarians tend to be pro-contract slavery, pro weird pedophilia views and against environmental protection.
Wow that's a.. idk weird stance, I've never seen this being advocated by Libertarians.
I believe libertarians are the most rational people. 'Geolibertarians' are the pinnacle of rationality IMO, because they understand scarce essential resources (like land, but also applied to minerals, etc) are subject to inefficient monopolistic dynamics, and thus should be somehow regulated for the common good.
Libertarianism is inherently flawed and lead to a kind of facism or contract feudalism
Yeah, kinda of? That's why I support geolibertarianism. But I don't think pure Libertarianism is all that bad you make it out to be. It's an incredibly rational way of thinking that maximizes freedom and productivity, and works very well when society has abundant resources. Libertarianism was the prevailant (albeit imperfect) mode of government for the US until the first World War.
Geolibertarianism is a good solution for when free-market meets limited resources. I'd say that's also probably the most favorite model of government that Milton Friedman would have
