my favorite thing about libertarians is the entire premise is to distract and frustrate one into believing in nothing. Nothing should be done, instigation of political change should not be done, organization should not be done, and we absolutely cannot do something like impede someone's liberty to be a landlord or a fascist.
instead what should be done is money should be bounced back and forth between several think tanks that are subsidiaries of large oil companies so they can lobby congress into authorizing lower corporate tax rates and to write the regulatory laws themselves
the stated beliefs though are so dead end it's fascinating. They just swirl around worship of inaction. If they're more well read on Rand they might gesture in the direction of individual human greatness, but they don't mean actually do anything. This poster said it clearly himself, they just want to be left alone. They want the status quo minus the bits they've conjured up in their goofy moral framework, the very same framework that tells them to do nothing. Libertarians have the aura of political engagement while also advocating for a lack of engagement
the technology thing is very deeply intertwined, they believe the world is already as perfect as possible in terms of power structures, so it is impossible to make anything better by altering them. Only by improving technology can the world become better, because technology changes what is possible.
