As the "liberal" parties move further to the Left into authentic Leftism (Communism), I find myself, as a libertarian-leaning political thinker, further settled into the "Right" side of the spectrum by no fault of my own. This isn't something I find particularly comfortable, as there are many things with mainstream Conservatism to which I am strongly opposed.
The act of consuming whatever you want being one of them.
Other than that: Bitcoin does what Socialism dreams of doing, only a thousand times better than any socialist could dream and completely by individual choice. Suck that, socialism.
Let me know what you think!

Hi Shane, nice post. I am a registered libertarian (for over 25 years). It sounds like you are a classic liberal. See the definition here. https://www.sciencedaily.com/terms/classical_liberalism.htm
Not that it limits you or labels you, but it is shorthand to describe some core beliefs. I have convinced many of my "liberal" friends that they are actually classical liberals, or if they think they are liberals they are actually socialists.

I could probably be most accurately labeled classically liberal, like a Thomas Jefferson.

I agree, you sound like me, and I identify mostly as a classic liberal. And the socialists want to control it so bad, but they can't, we're moving in the right direction!

I think it would be nice to see DTube do its own thing, in terms of UX/UI and management.

thank you.
when you have a rubber ruler it's hard to get an accurate measurement.
when the words are hijacked and any meaning needed is assigned to them at whim...sense suffers.
PLUS...to make it even more funner.
when the underlying assumptions are ALSO WRONG...
it gets very confusing..

Well, I must say that conservatives, true conservatives, there are few left in these times, what will they keep? The past that no longer exists? It would be reactionary at this point.
All the classical liberals, minarchists, libertarians, anarcho-capitalist, etc, etc., have been moved to the right at this point, and that is because the left is increasingly radical, and everything that is not left, turn to right.

Many Conservatives have a problem with people consuming whatever they want. That's the point I was trying to make.
