      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 …

      The only good libertarian is an ex-libertarian.

      My most common reason for getting annoyed with libertarians is the thick-headed assumption that most human beings are naturally libertarian, and if you put them in a libertarian environment they’ll proceed to act libertarian rather than gaming it for power.

      Exactly how do you game free markets? Do you provide more value to your customers? Better service? Since libertarians replace politics with markets, I'm pretty sure that randos in a libertarian society will behave in a libertarian manner. Or starve. I don't care which.

      Gaming "it" means gaming the total system, including the social system, the small government, etc. Same way that the US was gamed from libertarianism into socialism! We've seen it happen once already!
