I was a libertarian even when I was sleeping on a floor mattress, going hungry and responding to craigslist ads for jobs that required sludging thru sewers. You might disagree, and that's fine, but "only financially privileged ppl are libertarian" has never ever felt true to me.

Love that definition for libertarians. Even as someone that believes social support systems are a great idea, the fact that people might believe otherwise seems very reasonable irrespective of their personal wealth.

I think the high medical costs in the us come from significant overregulation, and if the government was more libertarian, we'd see costs here drop dramatically *without* having to also compensate with income tax

This is very interesting. But, I think it would be a bad idea to become a libertarian just because you have that sort of attitude. I feel like, maybe people should have that attitude, AND the government should basically help out in the ways libertarians hate anyway.

Just to add on - maybe if you're someone who feels confident in their intelligence, attractiveness, etc. it can be easy to have hope that you will "come out on top" even when you're down.

Your libertarianism is as unrelated to your income; yet it remains unauthentic and insincere. You have never truely lived your philosophy. You live in a society where others owe you a duty of care and you owe them the same duty.

That's the part you seem not to understand, nobody owes you anything. You have no right to someone else's labor.

Do any of you feel that when we use these political/ideological self-identifiers in discussions - More often than not the conversations inevitably circle into who's who?/are-you-really-the-who-you-say cuz I say I'm that who too territory... As opposed to just debating ideas?

Like can ya'll stop? We all lose and its hilarious how much libertarian infighting sounds EXACTLY like 'Marxist' numb-brain infighting.
