    I noticed most libertarians hate war, but mainly because it is almost always funded by government (and so indirectly by tax money). I feel like if they understood that imperialism is the real reason “developed” countries are wealthy, most would be a lot more quiet about hating war.

      every libertarian I've met has instantly failed the test of expressing sympathy for Latin Americans from all the instances of US intervention. so I really have to doubt how serious they are about their anti-war stances. At most I've only ever heard them talk about ending whatever war is most topical, like they were some level of against the Iraq War but I don't remember them doing much about it other than voting for Ron Paul.

      my cousin is a self-identified libertarian and he says US intervention into Latin America either never happened or it was deserved because the US was helping people by eliminating dictators. yeah ok sure
