    What I love about libertarians -- and I mean this almost without irony -- is that even when they come to the right conclusions, they do so for the most ridiculous and wrongheaded reasons imaginable.https://twitter.com/atossaaraxia/status/1334292838201352194 …

        It really is a weird religion. It is a religion. If facts get in the way, by magic the facts don't exist. Tragedy of the commons and pollution is a good example.

        Libertarians believe that people are oppressed best when they are oppressed by the private sector. Government oppression is inefficient and monopolizes oppression, stifling corporate innovations in oppression.

        I'm as quick to make fun of libertarians as anyone, but this is rather far. Most libertarians I know, nutty as there are about "gov/taxes" at least get it when it comes to civil liberties. Gov. is huge/scary/often stupid, and that is not a bad message.

        This is the most accurate depiction of libertarians I’ve read. Sir, you’ve won today’s twitters.

        If you add enough epicycles you can adopt your theory to any real life case!

        I've never seen "epicycle" used this way before and I love it! Polemic forcing of a theory to make it fit observed reality.
