    But nah I definitely agree, I meant more their like idealized professed thing.. mostly was thinking about when they skewered Gary Johnson about drivers licenses.

    Your post reminded me of this libertarian tweet going around the other day where he basically reinvented the govt but it was 10 businesses wearing a trench coat lol

      Johnson's big sin within the Libertarian Party was being too fucking sensible. He'd say things that people broadly agreed with and get hammered because he failed to couch it in some sovereign citizen bullshit his base would approve of.

      The real critical contradiction in Libertarianism is that these people are - despite their most fervent objections - quite happy with their lives. What drives them insane is the mass media, constantly telling them about this or that outrage they're supposed to be deeply invested in.

      Most propagandized people on Earth. They're born on second, but convinced the refs robbed them of a HR.
