Libertarian?

[Cort Haus]

Every libertarian I have known is an overweight neckbeard who wants to bang underaged chicks and not pay taxes.

Personally - No, no, no and no.

Perhaps this is the difference between left-libertarians and rightist ones.

Cue howls of disbelief that there could be such a thing as a left-libertarian.

Most ideologues are insane Riesstiu. They are blinded by their agenda and the fervent belief they are right.

My contact with libertarians in RL is admittedly limited as they are quite rare in this country.

Seriously though, I have known four people who identified themselves as staunch libertarians and three of them were deranged in some manner.

Of the four, one was a survivalist gun nut who wanted to live off the grid on 2 acres of weed-chocked land and actually wanted me to join him in his endeavor. The second guy was a complete nerd who had a unhealthy fascination with transhumanism and desired to be an immortal cyborg. I don't think I'll ever forget the anime posters were plastered all over his cubicle. Another guy was ex-military and a conspiracy theorist who believed in the NWO and UN black helicopters spiel. He happened to sit a few cubicles away from the transhumanist guy. The fourth was an undergrad econ professor. While he did look like a stereotypical libertarian (overweight, neckbeard, giant glasses), he wasn't ****ed in the head and knew his Austrian Economics.

Libertarianism is not without merits, it just so happens that most of the people identify themselves as libertarians are insane.

You pretty much covered all the bases.

Change "chicks" to "boys" and that's me.

To be fair, staunch conservatives and staunch liberals are also deranged.

Are you actually gay?

[Drake Tungsten]

I'm not going to willingly dispel my aura of mystery.

You need to change your avatar to Sulu.

[Drake Tungsten]

But Kirk/Spock slash is my favorite...

[Ecofarm]

Until someone gets a pic of Kirk/Sulu.

Why does nearly every OT thread descend into homoeroticism?

Why wouldn't it? Poly is majority gay...

[Kidlicious]

same as wezil. But we're doomed, globally, I think. There just isn't a market for this.

No, this way you have an economy that doesn't keep crashing and only serving rich people, and you can complain too. So you get your cake and eat it too.

[Ecofarm]

"The economy is only serving rich people".



C'mon, dude.

[Kidlicious]

How would a libertarian economy work for poor people?
