    What is the Libertarian answer to this?

    My bet is on something like: “They are violating the NAP, they can’t do that. Hello, officer?” :angery:

      Inevitably:

      “I have devised a tactic you should employ to avoid death. First, always…”

      It’s why, as deluded as they can be, I actually want to talk to libertarians. They are disillusioned with the system and haven’t slipped into fash territory.

        At least when it comes to the actual propagandists of (right) libertarianism.Self-aware wolves, the lot of them. The teenagers and man-children who just never grew out of it? Some are salvageable, if their material conditions permit it.

          /r/Libertarian has gone through a few cycles of binge and purge since the halycon days of Ron Paul’s '08 run.

          The modern incarnation is more hostile to the GOP than I’ve ever seen it, and more flirtatious with leftism than its mods would care to admit.

          Aside from all that, it’s still an excellent place to bang heads for no other reason than its mod policy has (almost) always been incredibly loose. You’ll get banned in every sub - from /r/neoliberal to /r/conservative to /r/shitliberalssay - for voicing half of what you’ve got a mind to on the Libertarian sub.

            I haven’t been banned from neoliberal yet but I mostly just go there to explain how smooth-brained their takes on geopolitics are, or if I have, like, a specific Marx quote that 100% owns whatever someone is suggesting because that’s hilarious to do

            The key is to choose a flair, it makes them think you’re one of them
