The Libertarian Disclaimer

Thanks for all the helpful feedback on my previous post. I will now be reforming my blogging style in order to make it more compatible with Australian libertarians.

From now on, I shall issue the “Aussie Libertarian Disclaimer” in all of my posts that criticise America. This will involve strategically placing a footnote with the words, “But China is worse, so that makes it OK”. It has to be an Aussie disclaimer because the pseudo-libertarians in America seem to think that all countries should be judged by the same standards.

So for example, if I was to comment on a news story involving an American soldier raping an Iraqi girl, I would at the end of the sentence place the appropriate footnote: “But China is worse, so that makes it OK”.

This should make my writing more compatible with common Australian libertarian practice.

Note, there is a disclaimer to the Aussie disclaimer: I can’t guarantee that China really is worse in every single case. It’s more the thought that counts.
