Well, howdy there internet people, it's Bo again. So today we are going to talk about some confusion that has occurred.

And we're going to talk about a party in the United States and a component of a

political ideology and how they share the same name and how that gets confusing at times because in a recent video I said something

and people from Europe and Australia and Africa sent messages basically like you're wrong that is not true

yeah it we'll get there okay so for everybody, quick review on something. There's left and right politically. Most people know what that is.

That's used pretty much everywhere means different things in

different places but generally people are aware of what left and right are.

On the political spectrum there is also a vertical axis which is authoritarian at the top

and libertarian at the bottom. On this channel I generally say anti-authoritarian to avoid, well, this, this exact confusion.

There are left-leaning libertarians all over the world when you are using that political spectrum.

In the United States there is also a political party named Libertarian. You have Republican,

elephant, Democrat, Donkey, Libertarian, Porky Pine. It's a small party. They are inherently right wing and that was the part that

had people a little upset because leftwing libertarians in Europe were like that is not true.

Not all people who are ideologically libertarian are right wing.

There are some who might be incredibly libertarian and be left wing.

I'm certain you know some.

In fact, I would suggest that most people watching this channel

probably fall into that.

But in the United States the political party is inherently right-wing, very pro-capitalism. The weird part is they tend to be accepting of a lot of

socially progressive positions.

And by that what I mean is they may privately condemn whatever it is, but it is absolutely not the government's business to regulate it.

So you end up with some really weird dynamics at times.
