here's why I hate 90% of the libertarians I meet here: * "weeditarians", mostly interested in numbing selves * "activists", mostly interested in not getting a job, sir! * conspiracy theorists * medical quacks, citing n=12 studies on immunizations and glyphosate * < 110 avg IQ https://twitter.com/imbeinrepressed/status/1056604926594342912 …

3/ * youthful enthusiasm, combined with an ignorance of history, so "this time is different!!!!" * 103 IQ atheism (I had a gov employee ancap living in a geodesic dome tell me that atheist Issac Newton was the next stage of human evolution. Newton was a theist, volcel w 0 kids)

4/ * interested in "agorism", which in theory means something about markets, but in practice, means everyone is underemployed, sleeps on couches, and trades crappy products w each other (hemp wallet to hold your home minted silver coins, yo?)

5/ * poly, drugs, "we're reinventing EVERYTHING, man!11!!!!!" * getting arrested for idiot crimes ("officer, I have no idea what the people in the back seat of my car may or may not be smoking. AM I BEING DETAINED!??!?!")

6/ * being the VICTIM of idiot crimes, cause idiots put themselves in idiot situations ("hey, it's 3am and I'm drunk and high ... maybe I should invite some guy I've never met to come in and drink with me. Oh, he's armed? OK, cool, I'll start a fight!")

7/ * all the typical introvert / sperg / SF fandom personality problems and interpersonal problems that arise from them (c.f. this old classic) http://www.plausiblydeniable.com/opinion/gsf.html …

8/ * Dunning Krueger: I'm a software engineer, 2 time entrepreneur, author, college grad, etc., and I've had borderline homeless people lecture me on how to plan corn, how to run a relationship, how to X, how to Y. Their advice is universally stupid.

9/ * rudeness: I've had people mock my religion to my face (and expect me to join in the joke), I've had people shine combat-grade flashlights into my eyes to demonstrate how bright they are (then not apologize), invite themselves into my house, etc. etc.

10/ * evaporative cooling / selection bias: all the smart, decent, coherent libertarians disappear from the social scene bc (a) they're too busy working / raising a family / farming / doing hobbies to waste time, (b) they also can't stand the rejects and mutants

11/ So, bottom line: it might be that 80+% of the FSP folks are awesome, but those 80% all go into seclusion, and one mostly meets the other 20%. sigh

12/ Sigh. No. Libertarians, for all their faults, mostly want to leave me alone. Their are losers and degenerates of all stripes, and the non-libertarian ones want to take my money and destroy my freedoms in ADDITION to being losers.https://twitter.com/therepocode/status/1056613332902383617 …
